Before any wall is opened for a fireplace in Killarney
Explained by the crew that frames and pipes fireplaces in Killarney.
Wiring near the fireplace
When the enclosure is completed, the E-series manual says electrical wiring should not come in contact with the fireplace, and it allows space for outside air ducts in the enclosure. Blowers and wall switches for accessories need wiring routed with that rule in mind.
Where a new circuit or outlet is needed, an electrician does that work as a separate line on the estimate. We mark where wiring may run so it stays clear of the fireplace body and its air space.
How far a masonry hearth extension reaches
Section R1001.10 requires hearth extensions to reach at least 16 inches in front of and at least 8 inches beyond each side of the fireplace opening, and the code asks for more when the opening is large. That is the floor that catches a rolling log or a spray of sparks.
We lay the extension out on the floor plan early, because it takes more room than people expect and affects where furniture, doors and flooring transitions go.
Fireplaces that open to two rooms
Some factory-built fireplaces are made to be seen from both sides or to divide two rooms. They carry their own listings, framing and clearance rules, and they tend to be more sensitive to air movement in the house because both faces are open.
When a see-through model is on your list, we read its manual with particular care and look at where doors, stairs and return grilles sit on both sides. Placement matters even more with two openings than with one.
The outside air inlet on the wall
An outside air kit ends in an inlet on an exterior wall, covered with a screen that keeps animals, leaves and insects out of the duct. The inlet's position follows the manual's limits on duct length and bends and the code's rules about where combustion air may come from.
We show you where the inlet will sit and how it will look from the yard before the duct is run, and we keep it away from a garage, dryer vents and anything else that exhausts air. It is a small grille, and it should look like it belongs on the wall.

Asked by Killarney homeowners before a fireplace goes in
If we missed your question, our Killarney fireplace team answers the phone.
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.
Is a smell during the first few fires normal?
For a short while, yes. The early fires cure the paint and the materials inside the firebox, and most manuals ask for a run of smaller fires first. We light the first one with you, watch the draft with the doors open and shut, and suggest a window open while the curing finishes.
