Fireplace & WoodStove Installation Nightmares

If you need a wood stove, gas stove, pellet stove, gas fireplace, wood burning fireplace, pellet burning fireplace insert or wood burning fireplace insert installed, beware of these dreaded realities that can turn your fireplace or wood stove installation experience into a nightmare:

1. The Drive-By Installer

Many fireplace installers are in and out of your home in a flash. That’s a good thing, right? Wrong! These “install and run" installers are most likely not using the proper techniques, tools, and supplies that are so critical to the enjoyment of your wood stove, gas stove, pellet stove, gas fireplace, wood burning fireplace, pellet burning fireplace insert, gas fireplace insert or wood burning fireplace insert. You’ll need them to come right back because they didn’t do the job properly the first time. As a result, you’re wasting more of your precious personal time and more of your hard-earned money.

Fireplace Village maintains a staff of fireplace installation and wood stove service professionals who have been trained on all aspects of the wood stoves, gas stoves, pellet stoves, gas fireplaces, wood burning fireplaces, pellet burning fireplace inserts and wood burning fireplace inserts we carry and are knowledgeable about codes and requirements in your area. In addition, we provide gas connection and gas fittings service. Our wood stove and fireplace stove manufacturers stand behind the products we sell and Fireplace Village stand behind its installation and maintenance service.

2. The Install and Run Installer

Most contractors are not qualified and lack the training necessary to properly install your new wood stove, gas stove, pellet stove, gas fireplace, wood burning fireplace, pellet burning fireplace insert or wood burning fireplace insert. They’ll visit a home that needs a new wood stove, gas stove, pellet stove or wood burning fireplace insert and quickly and carelessly install the wood stove or wood burning fireplace insert, not taking into consideration critical factors such as proper wood stove installation and wood stove venting requirements, not to mention a concern for the warranty, which could be voided due to poor wood stove installation techniques.

Fireplace Village has been around since 1972 and is established in your community. Fireplace Village installs the industry's leading wood stoves, fireplace inserts and gas fireplace products and we stand behind our installation and maintenance work.

3. The Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em Installer

Many installers love you and your business…until the check clears. Then, if you need assistance with your wood stoves, pellet stove, gas fireplace or wood burning fireplace insert, you are on your own. In most cases, you will need assistance with your wood stoves, pellet stoves or wood burning fireplace inserts because they were not properly installed.

Fireplace Village is here to address your needs prior to the installation, during the installation and after the installation. But keep in mind that most specialty wood stoves, fireplace and grill dealers, including Fireplace Village, will not reinstall or service improperly installed wood stoves, gas fireplaces or wood burning fireplace inserts. Go with Fireplace Village from start to finish including annual maintenance and gas connection and gas fittings service.
