About This Service

Full-Service Fireplace Installation

We handle every fuel type and every configuration — direct vent gas, vent-free, B-vent, traditional wood-burning, modern linear electric, and pellet appliances. From the framing and venting layout to the gas line work and final trim, our certified installers manage the complete project from start to finish.

Every installation begins with a free in-home consultation. We measure the space, evaluate venting options, confirm fuel availability, and provide a written quote that covers labor, materials, permits, and inspections. There are no surprises — what we quote is what you pay.

We work with all major manufacturers including Regency, Montigo, Astria, Valor, Napoleon, Heatilator, Mendota, Town & Country, Dimplex, and Modern Flames. Whatever you've selected — or whatever you'd like recommendations on — we install it correctly the first time.

Common Questions

Fireplace Installation FAQ

How long does a fireplace installation take?

A standard direct-vent gas insert installation in an existing masonry fireplace typically takes one to two days. New construction installs with framing, venting, and finish work can take three to five days. We provide a project-specific timeline in your written quote.

Do you handle gas line installation?

Yes. Gas line extension, new line installation, and meter upgrade coordination with your gas utility are all part of our standard scope when needed.

Can you install a fireplace I purchased elsewhere?

Yes. We install gas, wood, electric, and pellet fireplaces regardless of where you bought them, provided the unit is new, certified, and matches your home's venting and clearance requirements.

Do I need a permit?

Most fireplace installations in Connecticut require a building permit, and gas appliance installations require a separate gas permit. We pull all permits as part of our standard scope.

Will the new fireplace work with my existing chimney?

Often yes, but we evaluate the chimney during the consultation. Some installations require a stainless steel liner, a venting modification, or — in rare cases — a different appliance type to match the existing structure.

Do you remove the old fireplace?

Yes. Removal, decommissioning, and disposal of your existing unit are included when the install replaces an existing appliance. We can also handle trade-in credit on qualifying brands.
