Local chimney and fireplace service for Eagles Nest

A wood-burning insert can make an open fireplace in Eagles Nest, an Orlando neighborhood in Orange County, far more practical to use. The insert is a closed firebox with a door that fits into the existing fireplace opening, and it burns wood more slowly and sends more heat into the room than an open fire.

Getting that result depends on the fit, the liner and the condition of the fireplace it goes into. An insert needs its own vent path. Insert manuals set how the insert connects to the chimney, and most call for a stainless liner sized to the insert's outlet, while some allow a short direct connection. NFPA 211 also addresses how inserts connect to the chimney.

In practice, most installs include a stainless steel liner from the insert to the top of the chimney, with a cap. The existing masonry chimney has to be sound enough to hold that liner, and the fireplace opening has to be large enough for the insert the family wants. That is why the process starts with measuring.

We measure the opening, the firebox depth, the hearth and the flue, and check the damper and smoke chamber that the liner has to pass through. The clearances the insert's manual sets to mantels, trim and floor protection are checked against the room as it is. If any of those rule out a particular model, you hear it before anything is ordered.

It helps to know how you plan to use the insert. Occasional evening fires and regular heating call for different sizes, and a model that is too large for the room can be unpleasant to run. Our technicians talk through those choices with you in plain terms. The measuring visit and estimate are free with our family-owned team.

You get the insert, liner, cap and installation in writing, priced upfront, and you save 10% on the job when you book within 72 hours after the inspection. We back the installation in Eagles Nest with our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
