A new wood stove set on a safe hearth with the right pipe, clearances and liner, ready to heat your home with real fire.
A wood stove turns a few logs into steady, even heat that fills a room and keeps going when the power is out. It also makes a very good fire to look at. A stove is only as good as its installation, though. The hearth, the clearances to the walls, the stovepipe and the flue all matter for performance and for safety.
We help you choose a stove for your space and your habits, then install it from the floor to the cap. That means a hearth pad to protect the floor, correct distances from combustible walls, a connector pipe with the right joints and a flue that suits the stove, often a stainless liner. We test the draft and teach you how to light and run the stove cleanly.
Size matters. A stove too large for the room overheats it and smolders to cope, which makes creosote. We help you match output to the space.
A stove needs a non-combustible hearth and set distances from walls and ceilings. We build and measure to those requirements.
The stovepipe connects the stove to the chimney. Straight, short runs with tight joints draw best. In most masonry chimneys, a liner is added.
Many places require a permit, and your insurer may ask about the installation. We help with the paperwork and give you a written description of the work.
