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.

Are electric fireplaces safe around children and pets?


Electric fireplaces are generally safer than gas or wood-burning fireplaces around children and pets. The glass front on most electric fireplaces remains cool to the touch, reducing burn risk. However, the heating vents can become warm and should not be obstructed. As with any appliance, basic safety precautions and supervision are still recommended.

Do electric fireplaces require ventilation?


No, electric fireplaces produce no combustion byproducts and therefore require no venting or chimney. This makes them safe to install in virtually any room, including bedrooms and apartments. The absence of venting requirements also means no heat loss through a flue, contributing to their high energy efficiency at the point of use. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for clearance requirements around the unit.

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 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.


Can I install a wood-burning fireplace in a home without an existing chimney?


Yes, but it requires the construction of a new chimney, which adds considerably to the cost. Prefabricated metal chimney systems can be installed through walls or roofs and are less expensive than masonry chimneys. The chimney must be properly designed to achieve adequate draft and meet local building codes. A fireplace and chimney specialist can help design an appropriate system for your home’s layout.

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.

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.
