Fireplace details our installers explain in Eagles Nest
Useful to know before you approve a fireplace installation in Eagles Nest.
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.
Measuring the ten-foot rule on a sloped roof
When the horizontal distance from the chimney to the peak of the roof is more than 10 feet, the manual describes setting a reference point on the roof surface 10 feet from the side of the chimney. The top of the chimney must be at least 2 feet above that point, and never less than 3 feet above the roof penetration.
On a steep roof, that reference point can make the chimney taller than people expect. We measure it at the planning visit, so the height and the number of sections are known before anything is ordered.
Same size does not mean compatible
Two factory-built fireplaces with the same opening width can still differ in depth, standoff positions, chimney diameter, hearth extension size and mantel clearance. A replacement chosen because its face matches the old one often matches nothing behind that face.
Before a replacement is ordered, we set its manual beside the existing framing, the chimney route and the finish you want to keep. If something will not line up, you learn that at the free inspection, while you can still pick a different model at no cost.
The first few fires
A new fireplace's first fires cure its paint and the materials inside the firebox, and that can produce an odor for a while. Most manuals describe a break-in routine of smaller fires before the fireplace is used hard.
We light the first fire with you, explain the break-in your manual describes and suggest opening a window for fresh air while the curing finishes. Any smoke alarm that sounds during those fires should stay connected, with the room ventilated instead.

New fireplace questions, answered for Eagles Nest
Short answers from our fireplace installers in Eagles Nest. Anything else, just call.
Is the inspection really free?
Yes. We look at the room, the route to the roof, the structure and any existing fireplace, then give you a written estimate with upfront pricing. Save 10% on any service booked within 72 hours after the free inspection.
How large must the hearth in front of a factory-built fireplace be?
Section R1004.2 hands that decision to the fireplace listing, so the manual sets the size and the material. Embers land there when a log rolls, which is why we build it to the manual, face it in the noncombustible finish you choose and point out its edges before the rugs go back.
