What decides an insert installation in Eatonville
A closer look at the liner, the surround and the hearth in Eatonville.
Smoke alarms and a new wood heater
A second instruction in the Pacific guide concerns smoke detectors. The maker strongly recommends them in the home, and if one already sounds too readily near the fireplace, it advises relocating that detector rather than disconnecting it.
When we install an insert, we point out where the nearest smoke alarms are and whether any sits so close that curing fumes will trip it. Moving an alarm is a small step that keeps it working; switching one off defeats its purpose, and we never suggest it.
Ashes go in a lidded metal container
Insert manuals are specific about ashes. The Pacific guide has ashes go into a metal can with a snug lid that sits on the ground or a noncombustible floor, far from anything that burns, and stays shut until the last cinder is cold.
Ashes can hold live coals for days, which is why they never go into a paper bag, a plastic bin or a garage corner. We point out where a metal can with a lid can sit safely before we leave.
The paperwork that stays with the house
An insert installation produces documents worth keeping: the owner's manual, the model and serial number, the liner type, size and length, the surround size and the date of installation. Most of that information disappears behind the surround the moment the job is finished.
We leave those records with you in one place. A future sweep, inspector or buyer will ask for them, and having them means nobody has to pull the surround to find out what the fireplace is connected to. Registering the unit with its maker is worth doing the same week.
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 Eatonville homeowners want to know about wood inserts
If we missed your question, our Eatonville insert team answers the phone.
Should I buy the insert before you measure?
It is better to measure first. The manual lists minimum fireplace sizes, chimney height, flue size and clearances, and we check all of them against your fireplace so the model you buy is one that fits.
Does the old fireplace need repairs before the insert goes in?
Often, yes. The manuals ask for the fireplace and chimney to be clean and sound, with cracked or loose mortar repaired first. Any repair we find is priced on its own line, so you can see it apart from the insert.
