As the heating season approaches many homeowners are looking at the wisdom of installing a new wood stove. This hearth appliance will ensure your family has dependable and affordable heat all season long, but there are certain factors of installation to consider.
Location – Do you have a specific place in mind for the new wood stove? It should be located in a central area, resulting in optimum heat distribution.
Heat Protection – The area around your wood stove needs to be made from non-combustible materials. Heat shields will shrink the required clearances, but you need to be sure you are not creating a fire hazard.
Chimney Design – If your home does not have an existing chimney, heavy duty stovepipe can be used to create an efficient system. Otherwise your existing chimney may need to be renovated to meet today’s building codes.
Installing a new wood stove is a wise idea for comfort and efficient heat. Consider these vital factors to ensure your wood stove installation is safe and durable.
Wood stove and fireplace installation costs vary depending on the design of your home, the working conditions and the model chosen. The average fireplace costs between $1,200 and $2,000 and wood stoves are roughly in the same range. Installation costs must be added to that price.
If you will be renovating an existing fireplace and installation is fairly basic, the costs may only add a few hundred dollars. However, more extensive renovations and custom-built fireplaces may run in the thousands of dollars. Consider the condition of your chimney, any required removals and the cost of running natural gas lines (if you are installing a gas fireplace or gas stove).
Your best plan is to talk to a technician at your local stove shop. They will be able to point you to a model that fits your needs. And with accurate information (including pictures or a visit to your home), the staff should be able to give you a quote for wood stove or fireplace installation costs.
A fireplace, wood stove or wood insert is an ideal family gift. Not only will it turn the holidays into an extra special time of warmth, but an alternative heat source will provide security and savings for your whole family. Be sure to make the most of this family gift by booking a professional fireplace installation with Fireplace Village.
The qualified and certified staff at Fireplace Village will make sure that your wood stove, fireplace insert or gas fireplace is installed with care following all local building and fire codes. Only the highest quality components and materials will be used and the staff will take extra care to ensure your home is left in the safest condition.

Fireplace Village offers this important service to provide the most unique level of service in the industry. For only a minimal cost a qualified professional will visit your home before installation, providing these three benefits to your family, space and fireplace unit itself.
1) Optimum Venting Arrangements
The venting placement of your fireplace can make a difference to the installation and even affect the layout of your room. Having a trained professional assess the best location for the venting helps ensure the optimum design behind your walls provides the most attractive scene within the room.
2) Any Other Operation Requirements
During a site visit you will find out whether a new gas line will need to be run or the existing line repaired or modified. While he’s there the visiting technician can direct you to the proper tradesman if applicable.
3) Entrance to and Mobility in the Room
The technician conducting the site visit will also be able to assess how easily your chosen gas fireplace or wood stove will fit into the room, as well as the access and mobility for the installer. Dimensions can give you a good indication, but nothing replaces an actual professional taking a closer look at the situation.
The Site Visit service, what we call the Custom Fit Program, from Fireplace Village takes care of all of the necessities involved in fireplace installation. Avoid surprises and opt for the best installation with this unique service.
A fireplace or wood stove (or any hearth unit at all) is a complicated appliance that you depend on for one of life’s basic necessities. Having heat in the cold of winter is a necessary thing. And hiring a skilled technician for your fireplace installation is the best way to assure you’ll have it.
When homeowners hire an untrained contractor or even a friend to install their fireplace or wood stove they are simply asking for trouble. Technicians should have up to date training in order to get all of the fittings, venting and installation steps done properly and safely.
All technicians at Fireplace Village must complete rigorous training with all the makes of fireplaces and wood stoves, gas stoves, inserts and pellet stoves we carry. Installers, service staff and gas connection technicians are licensed in accordance with state law. Fireplace Village has installed more fireplaces, stoves and inserts over the last 30 years than anyone.
Don’t skimp when it comes to safety and dependability. Be sure that your fireplace installation is being handled by a trained professional and count on your heat all through the winter months.
