Common Questions

Fireplace Installation FAQs

Can a gas fireplace be used as a primary heat source?



A gas fireplace can serve as a primary heat source in smaller spaces or for zone heating purposes. High-BTU models with blowers can effectively heat medium to large rooms. However, most homeowners use gas fireplaces as supplemental heat rather than a whole-home primary heating system. If you plan to rely heavily on your fireplace for heating, discuss BTU requirements with a specialist.

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.

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.

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.


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.


What is the lifespan of a gas fireplace?


A well-maintained gas fireplace can last 15 to 25 years or more. The longevity depends on the quality of the unit, frequency of use, and regularity of professional servicing. Key components like thermocouples, thermopiles, and gas valves may need to be replaced over time. Annual inspections help identify worn parts before they become serious problems.

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.

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.
