When selecting a firm to do your fireplace service, ensure that your selection can handle the fire safety evaluations, the masonry projects that may be necessary, plus have the installation knowledge
Wood stove installation requires knowledge from many disciplines. You may elect to use an existing fireplace or to install stovepipe (and insulated pipe) connections.
The knowledge of local codes and NFPA practices is required of anyone installing heating and cooling equipment (HVAC). Select a vendor who is familiar with all types, if not all brands.
Unlined chimneys are dangerous. Liners are a simple “fix”, but before you get a chimney liner installation, have that chimney professionally inspected for safety.
