Common Questions

Fireplace Installation FAQs

What is the difference between a built-in and a freestanding fireplace?



A built-in fireplace is integrated into a wall and typically requires more extensive installation work. Freestanding fireplaces, also called stoves, stand independently and can often be positioned more flexibly. Built-in models generally offer a cleaner, more finished aesthetic, while freestanding units can sometimes be more cost-effective. Both options are available in wood-burning, gas, and electric varieties.

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.

What is the lifespan of an electric fireplace?


Most electric fireplaces are designed to last 10 to 20 years with proper care and maintenance. LED flame components can last up to 50,000 hours before needing replacement. Heating elements are generally durable but may require replacement over time. Keeping the unit clean and following manufacturer maintenance guidelines will maximize its lifespan.

What is a zero-clearance fireplace?


A zero-clearance fireplace is a factory-built unit designed to be installed close to combustible materials like wood framing and drywall. These fireplaces are insulated to prevent heat transfer to surrounding structures. Zero-clearance fireplaces are a popular option for new construction and remodel projects. They are available in gas, wood-burning, and electric configurations, making them highly versatile.


Can fireplace installation be a DIY project?


While electric fireplace installation can sometimes be a DIY project, gas and wood-burning fireplaces should always be installed by licensed professionals. Improper installation of gas appliances can lead to dangerous leaks, fires, or carbon monoxide poisoning. Wood-burning fireplaces require precise construction to ensure proper draft and prevent chimney fires. Always hire qualified and certified contractors for anything beyond a basic electric unit.


Can I convert my wood-burning fireplace to gas?


Yes, converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas is a common and relatively straightforward process. This is typically done by installing a gas log set or a gas insert into the existing firebox. A licensed plumber or gas technician will need to run a gas line to the fireplace location. The existing chimney may need to be lined to accommodate the gas appliance properly.

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.

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.
