What Does Professional Fireplace Installation Involve?
Professional fireplace installation is far more than simply placing a unit in your home – and DIY fireplace installation is not something we encourage for this very reason. Fireplace installation with an expert involves a detailed assessment of your space, proper venting design, fuel line installs or electrical connections (depending on your system), and final testing to ensure your new feature operates as safely and efficiently as possible from day one.
At The Fire Factory, our installation process is comprehensive from the very beginning. We take time to understand how you plan to use the space, what aesthetic you’re going for, and what your budget looks like. Then, we match you with the right product and walk you through every step of the installation process. Our technicians follow strict manufacturer specifications and industry best practices, so your system performs at its best for years to come – and the warranty stays valid.

Common Questions
Fireplace Installation FAQs
How long does a typical fireplace installation take?
Most residential fireplace installations can be completed in a single day, though more complex projects (full masonry surrounds, new gas line installations, outdoor kitchen builds, etc.) will take longer.
During your initial consultation, we’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your specific project scope, so there are no surprises.
Do I need to have an existing chimney to have a new fireplace installed?
Not at all. We often install vented fireplaces in homes that have never had one before.
Through modern direct-vent technology we can easily vent your system through an existing wall or roof. Or with an electric fireplace system, we can add a fireplace to nearly any room in your home without requiring a traditional chimney or major structural renovation.
Is gas fireplace installation safe?
Absolutely – when it’s done by certified professionals following manufacturer specifications and local safety codes. Gas fireplaces are among the safest home heating options available when installed correctly. Our technicians test every system thoroughly before leaving your home to confirm safer, more reliable operation.
Can you convert my old wood-burning fireplace to gas?
Yes, and it’s one of the most popular services we offer. Converting to gas is a cost-effective way to enjoy the warmth and ambiance of a fireplace without the maintenance, mess, and air quality concerns associated with burning wood. We’ll assess your existing firebox and recommend the best gas insert or log set for your situation.
Do you install outdoor fire features as well?
We do. The Fire Factory installs outdoor fire pits, gas fire features, outdoor fireplaces, and full outdoor living setups, including outdoor kitchens and spas. If you’re looking to extend your living space into your backyard with a beautiful, functional fire feature, we’re the team to call.
How do I maintain my fireplace after installation?
We recommend annual inspections for all fireplace systems, whether gas, wood, or pellet. Regular servicing ensures your unit is operating as efficiently and safely as possible, and that small issues are spotted and addressed before they become expensive to repair. The Fire Factory offers ongoing maintenance and repair services, so we’re your resource long after installation day is over.
What’s the difference between a fireplace insert and a built-in fireplace?
A fireplace insert is designed to fit inside an existing masonry or zero-clearance fireplace opening, essentially upgrading your old unit with a more efficient and modern system. A built-in (or zero-clearance) fireplace is a freestanding unit installed into a wall or new construction framing. Both are excellent options… The right choice depends on your home’s existing setup and your goals.

★★★★★
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.
