What a new fireplace asks of your Mercy Drive home
How the manual, the code and your house shape the plan in Mercy Drive.
The chimney pipe is a listed product too
Under section R1005.1, factory-built chimneys shall be listed and labeled and installed and terminated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The chimney is not generic pipe; it is a tested product with its own rules for joints, supports, spacers and the parts at the roof.
When we plan chimney installation for a new fireplace, the chimney model comes from the fireplace manual, and its own instructions govern every section above the firebox. That is how chimney pipe installation stays inside the same listing as the fireplace it serves.
Carbon monoxide alarm rules for new fireplaces
Florida Statutes section 553.885 requires new buildings and additions that have a fossil-fuel-burning heater or appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage to have an approved operational carbon monoxide alarm installed within 10 feet of each room used for sleeping, or at other locations the Florida Building Code requires.
Where a new fireplace is part of an addition, that alarm requirement is part of the project. We point it out at the planning stage and list the alarm work separately.
A chimney through a second floor
In a two-story house, the chimney may have to pass through a bedroom, a closet or a framed chase on the upper floor. Every floor it crosses needs a firestop spacer, and every enclosure around it needs the manual's air space kept clear on all sides.
We plan that path with you, often through a closet corner or along an exterior wall, so the enclosure lands where it takes the least from the room above. The route is agreed on paper before any ceiling is opened.
A raised hearth or a flush hearth
The hearth extension in front of a new fireplace can sit flush with the floor or be raised as a step. Either way it has to meet the manual's size and material rules for your model, and it should read clearly as a hearth rather than a patch of floor that somebody might cover with a rug.
A raised hearth gives a seat and a clear edge, while a flush hearth keeps the floor open. We help you choose based on the room, the flooring and how people walk past, then build it to the manual.

What Mercy Drive homeowners want to know about adding a fireplace
If we missed your question, our Mercy Drive fireplace team answers the phone.
Do I need to pick a fireplace before you visit?
No. It helps to know the look you want, but the chimney route, the structure and the room often narrow the choice. We check those first at the free inspection and then help you choose a model that fits.
Why can the chimney not take any path it likes to the roof?
Section R1005.7 holds a factory-built chimney to 30 degrees from vertical at most, with four elbows as the limit for the whole run. If a spot in the room would break either limit, the spot moves. We draw the route before recommending where the fireplace should sit.
