Fireplace insert know-how for Boggy Creek homes
How the manual, the flue and your fireplace shape the plan in Boggy Creek.
Sealing a factory-built fireplace around the insert
That guide also wants a seal in one of two places, the surround against the fireplace face or the damper area around the liner, so room air has no path into the fireplace's chimney cavity. Left open, that cavity can draw warm room air up past the liner.
We use the sealing method the manual names for your combination of fireplace and insert, and we check it with the surround in place. The fireplace's own cooling paths are a different thing entirely, and they are left untouched so the metal casing stays as cool as its maker designed.
A wood mantel close to the opening
A mantel that was acceptable above an open fireplace can sit inside the clearance of an insert, because the hot body and door of the unit sit right at the opening. In the Pacific guide, the mantel minimum is 24 inches, measured from the insert body.
When a mantel is too close, the choices are a model whose manual lists a smaller figure, a mantel raised or replaced with noncombustible material, or a protection method the manual itself describes. We lay out those options with their costs in writing and let you choose.
Reaching the chimney top safely
A liner is lowered from the top, so part of every full-liner job happens on the roof. That means ladders set properly, footing on the roof covering, and tools and liner coil handled without scraping shingles or tile.
The estimate says how our crew will reach the chimney and how the roof is protected while they are up there. If roof access is difficult, we tell you at the inspection rather than discovering it with a liner halfway down the flue.
Why the fireplace is measured before you buy
Buying an insert before the fireplace is measured is the quickest route to a unit that sits on the hearth waiting for a solution. Minimum fireplace size, chimney height, flue size and clearances all need checking against your fireplace first.
The free inspection does that checking. You can buy the unit knowing it fits and knowing what its installation will involve, or ask us to supply it as part of the job. Either way, the model is confirmed before the money is spent.

What Boggy Creek homeowners want to know about wood inserts
What people in Boggy Creek ask us before an insert is ordered.
Can a wood insert go into a factory-built fireplace?
Only when the insert's manual allows it and the fireplace and chimney are listed for that use. Many factory-built fireplaces are not. We read both labels and both manuals at the free inspection before recommending anything.
Can I burn anything besides cord wood?
No. A wood insert is made for natural cord wood, and one maker states that burning other fuels voids its warranty and safety listing. Keep to dry, split wood.
