A chimney through the attic

Best spot for the fireplace on an inside wall? Then the chimney has to rise through the attic and out the roof. A factory-built chimney has rules for that route: how far it can lean, how many bends it can take, and how it passes attic insulation.

From the firebox to the roof, the route is planned, the rafters and ceiling joists it crosses are checked, and the maker's parts go in, including a steel shield where it passes insulated spaces. The roofing around the new chimney is weathered in by your roofer where needed, and the quote says so. Reserve a route planning visit in Alachua by dialing (352) 675-6366.

A straight line from the Gainesville reference point to Alachua runs about 11 miles. Alachua is on our Alachua County list of places we serve.

Local Conditions

Chimney routes through insulated attics

If the attic in your home in Alachua holds deep insulation, a new factory-built chimney has to pass through it with a steel shield keeping the insulation clear, as the building code requires. Our specialists measure the insulation depth before fitting the shield, so it clears the top of the insulation with room to spare. If more insulation goes in later, the shield height needs a fresh look.

Installing to the listing

A factory-built fireplace and chimney must use the components and arrangement permitted by their applicable listing and instructions. The labels identify the actual system. Our pros check that information before choosing pipe, supports, shielding or a termination.

The permitted components are identified by the appliance and chimney instructions. A compatible part may be specifically named by its system or manufacturer; matching dimensions or a similar appearance alone does not establish approval. Substitutions need to be checked before installation.

The maker's manual stays on hand throughout the job and a copy stays with you, with the model and parts recorded on your quote.

Passing through attic insulation

Where the chimney passes near insulation, the system's required air space and shielding must be preserved. Shield type, support and height are checked against the applicable instructions and requirements. Loose insulation must not be packed into a space intended to remain clear.

The shield keeps a clear space around the pipe and stops insulation from falling against it. Our specialists fit the maker's shield, measure the insulation depth first and set the shield to clear it.

If insulation is added later, the shield still has to clear the new depth, and they'll mention that to you when the job is done.

Break-in fires and first smells

New fireplaces give off a smell the first few times they're used, as paints, sealers and binders in the unit cure. Makers warn about it in their manuals and advise opening windows and running a fan until it passes.

Some gas unit makers suggest one long first burn to get through it in a single go. Our pros give you the maker's break-in steps for your unit spelled out.

The smell should fade after the first few uses. If it doesn't, or if it smells like anything other than hot paint, call and they'll look into it right away. A little patience here pays off.

FAQs

Fireplace installs, the short version

Which kind of fireplace should I get?

The room decides a lot: an outside wall suits a direct-vent gas unit, an inside wall means a chimney through the attic, and an electric unit fits almost anywhere. Our specialists lay out the options that fit, priced side by side.

Why does a new fireplace smell at first?

Paints and materials in the unit cure during the first few fires. Makers advise opening windows and running a fan until it passes, and our pros give you the break-in steps spelled out.
