Common Questions
Fireplace Installation FAQs
What types of fireplaces can I have installed in my home?
There are several types of fireplaces available, including wood-burning, gas, and electric. Wood-burning fireplaces offer a traditional experience but require a chimney and regular maintenance. Gas fireplaces are popular for their convenience and efficiency, while electric fireplaces are the easiest to install with no venting required. Your choice will depend on your home’s existing infrastructure, budget, and personal preference.
What is a firebox and what materials are used to construct it?
The firebox is the chamber where the fire burns in a wood-burning fireplace. It is typically constructed from refractory brick and mortar, which are specially designed to withstand extreme heat. Over time, the mortar and firebrick can crack and deteriorate, requiring repair or replacement. Proper firebox construction is critical for the safety and performance of the fireplace.
How do I choose the right fireplace size for my room?
Choosing the right size involves calculating the square footage of the room and matching it to the BTU output or heating capacity of the fireplace. As a general rule, you need approximately 20 BTUs per square foot of living space. A fireplace that is too small will struggle to heat the room, while one that is too large can make the space uncomfortably warm. Consult with a fireplace specialist to ensure you select the right size for your specific needs.
How often should a gas fireplace be serviced?
Gas fireplaces should be professionally inspected and serviced at least once a year. Annual service typically includes cleaning the burner, inspecting the venting system, testing safety controls, and checking for gas leaks. Regular maintenance keeps the unit operating efficiently and safely. Neglecting service can lead to performance issues and potential safety hazards.
Do electric fireplaces produce real heat?
Yes, electric fireplaces produce real heat through electric heating elements or infrared technology. Most standard models produce between 4,000 and 5,000 BTUs, which is enough to heat approximately 400 square feet. Infrared models are particularly effective because they heat objects and people in the room rather than just the air. However, they are not designed to be whole-home heating solutions.
What is the role of a flue liner in fireplace installation?
A flue liner is a conduit inside the chimney that contains combustion products and directs them safely out of the home. Flue liners protect the chimney structure from heat and corrosive byproducts and improve draft efficiency. They are required by most building codes and are especially important when installing a fireplace insert into an older masonry chimney. Clay tile, cast-in-place, and stainless steel are the most common flue liner materials.
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.

★★★★★
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.
