Before any wall is opened for a fireplace in Audubon Park
Explained by the crew that frames and pipes fireplaces in Audubon Park.
Accessories tested with the fireplace
Every factory-built fireplace is tested with specific optional accessories such as glass doors, outside air kits, blowers and hearth extensions. One maker's E-series manual warns that accessories not specifically tested for the appliance could void the warranty or create a safety hazard.
So the doors, the air kit and the hearth piece are chosen from the manual's list, whatever else might fit the opening. When you want an accessory, we check that it appears in the manual for your model before it goes on the estimate, and we tell you when it does not.
Where the combustion air may come from
Section R1006.2 requires the exterior air intake to be capable of supplying all combustion air from outside the dwelling or from spaces within it that are ventilated with outdoor air, such as nonmechanically ventilated crawl or attic spaces. The E-series manual adds its own warnings: never draw outside air from a garage, where engine exhaust collects.
It also warns against drawing air from attic spaces, basements or above the roofing where other appliances, fans or chimneys exhaust. We place the inlet with those limits in mind and show you its location on the outside wall at the planning visit.
The ten-foot rule for a masonry chimney
The termination rule in section R1003.9 covers masonry chimneys too, so the top stands 3 feet or more over the roof penetration and 2 feet or more over anything on the house within 10 feet.
For a masonry chimney, extra height means extra brick, extra weight on the footing and taller scaffolding. We work it out at the planning stage, so the chimney's final height is agreed before the first course is laid and the footing is sized for it.
A replacement unit needs its own chimney
A replacement factory-built fireplace comes with a listing that names its own chimney system. Pipe installed for the old unit belongs to the old unit's listing, even when the diameter looks the same.
That is why a fireplace replacement usually includes a new chimney from the firebox to the cap. We explain why at the inspection, so the estimate is not a surprise and you are not tempted by a lower quote that reuses pipe the new listing does not include.

Fireplace questions Audubon Park homeowners ask next
Answered by the family-owned team that builds fireplaces in Audubon Park.
Do you install gas or electric fireplaces too?
Yes, as separate services with their own requirements. This service covers wood-burning fireplaces and their chimneys. If you are undecided, we can compare the options at the same free visit.
Does an addition with a fireplace need a carbon monoxide alarm?
Under Florida Statutes section 553.885, a new building or addition with a fireplace gets an approved, working carbon monoxide alarm no more than 10 feet from each bedroom, or wherever the building code places it. We raise it while planning and price the alarm work on its own line.
