What a new fireplace asks of your Gotha home
How the manual, the code and your house shape the plan in Gotha.
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.
Locking offsets and supporting the pipe
Offsets and returns joined to straight sections must be locked into position, and the E-series manual notes that the pipe needs support during construction so gravity or careless loading does not pull joints apart. It describes checking that sections have not been dislodged.
Our crew fastens each joint as the chimney instructions require and uses the support parts listed for the system. Before the chase or ceiling is closed, we look at every joint again, because a separated joint hidden in a wall is the kind of problem nobody sees until it matters.
Burning dry, seasoned wood
EPA's wood-burning guidance says to burn only dry, split, well-seasoned wood, seasoned for at least six months, and to test it with a moisture meter before burning. It also advises storing wood outdoors, off the ground, with only the top covered so the sides can breathe.
Wet wood smokes, blackens the firebox and glass, and burns cold. We explain what the guidance means for the wood you buy or stack at home, because a new fireplace deserves fuel that lets it work the way it was designed.
Replacing a factory-built unit behind a brick or stone face
Some houses have a factory-built fireplace dressed in brick or stone so it looks like masonry. Replacing it means working through that facing, and the new unit's manual decides what may cover its face and how close.
We explain what has to come off, what can be reused and how the new face will look before the old facing is touched. Sometimes most of the stone can stay; sometimes the new unit's framing means starting fresh. You know which before the work is priced.

Asked by Gotha homeowners before a fireplace goes in
Answered by the family-owned team that builds fireplaces in Gotha.
How high does the mantel have to be?
It depends on the fireplace. For a factory-built unit, the manual sets mantel height and depth, and on masonry the code keeps combustible trim 6 inches or more from the opening. We mark the line during installation.
Can the fireplace go in a corner or inside a chase outside the wall?
Often it can. A factory-built fireplace may stand along a wall, across a corner, between two rooms or in an exterior chase, and one manual we use draws the framing for each. Every spot changes the chimney route and the hearth, so we sketch the choices for your room at the free inspection.
