What installation day looks like

Wondering what happens on the day? Our pros protect the floors and furniture, set the unit in its framed opening to the maker's dimensions, and secure it the way the manual describes.

The chimney or vent sections go in with every clearance checked, the parts through the ceiling and roof are fitted, and the hearth is set. The unit is tested before the finish work begins, and you're walked through how to use it safely. Everything is cleaned up before they leave. The job is finished the same day wherever the manual allows. Talk to our pros about installation day in Cedar Key at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

New fireplaces close to salt water in Cedar Key

Outdoors, a new fireplace in Cedar Key has parts, like the cap, the vent termination and the chase cover, that take salt air every day. Standard steel parts can rust faster than the unit inside. Our pros choose the maker's corrosion-resistant options for those outdoor parts where they're listed, and they plan the termination where it's easiest to check and maintain.

Hearths for factory-built units

Every factory-built wood fireplace needs a hearth extension, and the building code sends you to the unit's listing for its size and material. The code also wants that extension to stand out clearly from the surrounding floor, and hearth extension products carry a UL 1618 listing.

Working from the manual, our specialists pick a hearth material that meets it and suits your floor, and set it so its edge is clear to anyone walking by.

Some gas units need no hearth extension at all, and some need a noncombustible floor under the unit. The manual decides, and our pros follow it to the letter.

Carrying the weight of the unit

Every fireplace adds weight to the floor, and a factory-built chimney adds load to whatever holds it up. The Florida Building Code wants the members that carry a factory-built chimney designed for that extra load.

Floor framing under the unit and hearth, and the ceiling and roof framing that the chimney's supports bear on, all get checked. On a slab, the floor is rarely a concern; on a framed floor or an upstairs room, it gets a closer look.

If reinforcement is needed, the quote names it and the trade that does it, and the work is scheduled before the fireplace goes in.

How thick the firebox walls are

The walls of a masonry firebox keep the fire's heat away from the house. The code's figures: 8 inches of solid masonry in total when a firebrick lining of 2 inches or more is part of it, and 10 inches of solid masonry when there's no lining.

Our specialists build fireboxes with a firebrick lining laid in refractory mortar and solid masonry behind it, to the full thickness.

It's more material than you see from the room, and it's what keeps the framing around the fireplace cool through years of fires. The build is priced in stages, so you can see where the money goes.

FAQs

Fireplace installs, the short version

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.

Is a fireplace install covered by a warranty?

Two warranties apply: ours on the workmanship of the install, and the maker's warranty on the unit applies under its own terms. Reserve your free planning visit in Cedar Key at (352) 675-6366.
