An electric fireplace on the wall

No chimney, no vent, no gas line? An electric fireplace plugs in or wires in, and it can hang on a wall, sit recessed in it, or slide into an old firebox.

Our pros mount it to the maker's instructions, check the outlet or circuit it needs, and finish it neatly with you. Where a new circuit is called for, an electrician handles it, and your quote says so. It's the simplest fireplace to add, and it works in rooms where venting isn't possible. Recessed units need a framed opening sized to the manual. Reserve an electric fireplace install in Waldo at (352) 675-6366.

Waldo is on our Alachua County list of places we serve. When the 2020 Census counted Waldo, it found 846 residents.

Local Conditions

Chimney routes through insulated attics

If the attic in your home in Waldo 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.

Our Process

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.

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.

The throat and damper of a new masonry fireplace

Above a masonry fireplace opening, the lintel supports the masonry and the throat leads toward the smoke chamber. The damper arrangement must suit the fireplace and its fuel. Their positions and construction are considered together rather than copied from a different design.

Getting the throat right is what makes a fireplace draw instead of smoke. Our pros build it to those rules and fit a damper that seals tight when closed.

A top-sealing damper is considered only where the fireplace and fuel permit a closable flue. The proposed option must preserve any required permanent vent opening, and its operating instructions are explained before the system is used.

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.
