What You Can Count On
A wood-burning fireplace insert is a closed firebox with a glass door installed inside an existing masonry fireplace. Fireplace insert installation in Spring Hill includes measuring the opening, connecting a stainless steel liner from the insert to the top of the chimney, and sealing it, as the maker and code require.
How a Wood Insert Works
A wood insert installation places a closed steel or cast iron firebox inside your masonry fireplace. Air controls set the burn rate, a glass door shows the fire, and many models have a fan to move warm air into the room. Wood stove insert installation follows the same steps for stove-style units.
The insert vents through a stainless liner running from its outlet to the top of the chimney. The old fireplace flue is far too large for an insert, and venting into it without a liner leads to poor draft and heavy deposits.
Fireplace Insert Install, Step by Step
We measure the opening, depth and flue, check the firebox and chimney, and help you choose a wood burning fireplace insert that fits. The liner is sized to the insert, run to the top, connected and sealed with a top plate and cap. The insert slides in, its surround covers the gap, and we check the hearth and clearances against the listing.
NFPA 211 and the maker's instructions govern the installation. The first fire is a short, gentle one, and we leave you the manual and the burning tips.

What Affects the Price
Signs It Is Time
An open fireplace sends most of its heat up the flue. A wood burning fireplace insert is a closed firebox with a glass door that slides into the existing fireplace and puts far more heat into the room. Our crew measures the fireplace, helps you choose an insert that fits, and installs it with a stainless liner from the insert to the cap.
Questions and Answers
Do wood-burning fireplace inserts need a liner?
A wood-burning insert needs a liner sized to its outlet, running from the insert to the top of the chimney. The old fireplace flue is too large for it, which hurts the draft and builds deposits. NFPA 211 and most makers call for a full liner.
Is a fireplace insert worth it?
An insert turns an open fireplace that loses heat up the flue into a closed firebox that heats the room. It also cuts the drafts an open fireplace lets in. In a Florida home used a few evenings a year, an insert is about comfort and a cleaner fire more than heating bills.
How long does it take to install a fireplace insert?
Most insert installations take a day. First the stainless liner runs down the chimney and is capped at the top. Then the insert is connected, set in place and the surround fitted. Repairs found during the inspection are done before the insert goes in.
Can an insert go in any fireplace?
An insert needs a masonry fireplace, or a factory-built one whose maker allows it, with an opening and depth that fit the model. The firebox, damper area and chimney must be sound before installation. We measure the opening and inspect the flue before suggesting any insert.
