Bringing outside air to a new fireplace

Is your house tight, with strong exhaust fans? A wood fireplace needs air to burn, and the building code calls for outside combustion air unless the room is ventilated so its pressure stays neutral or positive.

Where it's needed, an outside air supply gets planned with the new fireplace, using ducts listed for the unit and an intake placed where the code allows, screened against animals. Planning it now is far easier than adding it after the walls are finished. It's priced on its own line. Reserve a planning visit that covers combustion air in Rochelle: (352) 675-6366.

About 10 miles, measured point to point, lie between Rochelle and the Gainesville reference point. Our specialists serve Rochelle as part of Alachua County.

Local Conditions

Storm wind and a new termination

Wind-driven rain from a storm passing over Rochelle can push against a vent termination or chimney cap. The maker's listed parts are designed for that when installed to the manual. Our specialists fit the termination and cap exactly as the maker describes, with the storm collar sealed and the roofing weathered in by your roofer. Everything is checked before the roof is closed up.

Our Process

Four stages of a new fireplace

Look at the room

The wall, floor, attic and roof are looked at, then the fireplace options that fit are laid out.
Plan and price

You choose a unit, and the quote lists every part, trade, permit and inspection.
Install and check

The unit and its chimney or vent go in to the manual, with clearances checked before walls close.
Test and hand over

The unit is tested, you're shown how to use it, and you get the break-in steps noted on the quote.

The gap between masonry and framing

Combustible framing must remain outside the clearances required for the masonry fireplace. The design also determines the appropriate fireblocking. Concealed details need to be established before finishes cover them, with any required inspection planned into the work.

Our specialists establish the required separation for the proposed fireplace and check the framing arrangement before surrounding finishes conceal it.

Trim and facing near the opening have their own limits, and those are checked too, so the finish work doesn't undo the clearances hidden behind it. The checks are noted on your quote along with the framing plan.

Where the chimney leaves the roof

A factory-built chimney passes through the roof with parts from its maker: a roof support where needed, a sealed storm collar and the listed termination cap on top. Its height above the roof follows the maker's rules for distance from nearby roof surfaces.

The roofing around the new opening has to be weathered in so it doesn't leak, and on many roofs that's a roofer's job, working with the maker's roof parts.

With the opening cut and the listed parts fitted, our pros coordinate with your roofer so the roofing is sealed properly around the new chimney. The quote shows who handles each part.

Swapping out an old factory-built unit

Swapping a factory-built fireplace isn't as simple as sliding a new box into the old hole. The old chimney was listed with the old unit, and a new unit from another maker, or even a newer model, needs the chimney listed with it.

Some makers offer a matching replacement that works with the existing chimney; if yours doesn't, a new chimney is planned with the new unit.

The old unit and chimney come out, the opening is checked and adjusted to the new unit's framing dimensions, and the new system goes in to its manual. Each stage is priced.

FAQs

Your fireplace installation questions, answered

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.

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 Rochelle at (352) 675-6366.
