Common Questions

Fireplace Installation FAQs

What is a fireplace insert?



A fireplace insert is a unit designed to fit into an existing masonry or prefabricated fireplace opening. Inserts are an excellent way to upgrade an old, inefficient fireplace without a full rebuild. They are available in wood-burning, gas, electric, and pellet options. Installing an insert is generally more affordable than building a new fireplace and can significantly improve heating efficiency.

How disruptive is fireplace installation to my home?


The level of disruption depends on the type of fireplace being installed. Electric fireplace installation is minimally disruptive and can often be completed in a few hours. Gas and wood-burning installations that require new venting or structural work can involve drywall removal, cutting through walls or roofs, and potential dust and debris. Plan for some inconvenience and discuss the timeline and cleanup expectations with your contractor in advance.

What type of wood should I burn in my fireplace?


Only dry, seasoned hardwood should be burned in a fireplace. Hardwoods like oak, maple, and hickory burn longer and produce more heat than softwoods. Wood should be seasoned (dried) for at least six months to a year to reduce moisture content and minimize creosote buildup. Never burn treated wood, painted wood, garbage, or wet wood, as these can release toxic chemicals and cause chimney fires.

Can a fireplace be installed on an interior wall?


Yes, fireplaces can be installed on interior walls, though it requires additional planning for venting. For wood-burning fireplaces, the chimney would need to run through the home’s interior, which affects ceiling and attic space. Gas direct-vent fireplaces can be vented horizontally through an exterior wall even when installed on an interior wall. Electric fireplaces have the most flexibility since no venting is required at all.


What is a pilot light and do all gas fireplaces have one?


A pilot light is a small, continuously burning flame used to ignite the main burner on demand. Traditional gas fireplaces use a standing pilot light, which burns continuously and consumes a small amount of gas. Many modern fireplaces use an electronic ignition system that eliminates the standing pilot, improving energy efficiency. You can often choose between these options when selecting your gas fireplace model.


What are the venting options for a gas fireplace?


Gas fireplaces can be vented in several ways: direct vent, natural vent (B-vent), or vent-free. Direct vent fireplaces draw combustion air from outside and expel exhaust outside, making them very safe and efficient. Natural vent fireplaces use indoor air for combustion and vent upward through a flue. Vent-free fireplaces require no venting but are subject to strict regulations and are banned in some states due to air quality concerns.

Can electric fireplaces be installed in apartments?


Electric fireplaces are ideal for apartments because they require no venting, no gas lines, and no structural modifications. Most units simply plug into a standard wall outlet. They provide both ambiance and supplemental heat without requiring landlord approval for major alterations. Always check your lease agreement and local fire codes before installing any heating appliance.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL

What Should I Consider Before My Fireplace Installation?

01

fuel type shapes everything

Whether you’re going with natural gas, propane, wood, or electric will determine venting requirements, clearances, and installation complexity – it’s one of the first decisions to make.

02

Venting requirements vary

Direct-vent, vent-free, and traditional wood-burning units all have different venting needs, and your home’s layout will influence which systems are feasible for your space.

03

Not all spaces are created equal

Structural considerations, existing chase or firebox conditions, and proximity to combustibles all factor into where and how a fireplace can be safely installed in your home.

04

Permits may be required

Depending on your municipality in Eastern Wisconsin, a permit may be needed for fireplace installation. Our team is familiar with local requirements and can help guide that process.

05

Timing matters, especially in WI

Scheduling your installation before the heating season hits means you’ll be ready to enjoy it when temperatures drop, rather than waiting through a busy fall rush.

Very nice and professional technicians. They texted to let me know exactly when they would arrive so I was not stuck at home waiting out a long time window. They covered all the areas they walked on and worked on to minimize any debris left behind. The technicians were informative and explained how my new fireplace worked. I would highly recommend The Fire Factory to anyone looking to replace their old log set! My new Eiklor Rocky Mountain Split Burnt Logs look amazing and installation took less than 2 hours.
