Prefab fireplace repair details for Parramore homes
Plain explanations from the people who repair factory-built fireplaces in Parramore.
Signs a fireplace has been overfired
Overfiring means running a fire hotter than the fireplace was designed for. One maker lists its symptoms as cracking, warping or burning out of components, plated accessories changing color and glass that develops a haze cleaning will not remove.
The same maker names causes such as burning scrap lumber, pine branches, paper or cardboard boxes in amounts beyond a normal log fire, and burning trash or treated material. Overfiring damage falls outside its warranty, so we look for these signs early in any repair.
- Cracked panels or burned-out parts
- Warped steel
- Plated trim that has changed color
- Glass haze that will not clean off
Two chimneys in one chase
Some homes have two factory-built fireplaces venting through one chase. One maker suggests separating the terminations by at least 24 inches center to center and staggering their heights by 18 inches, to keep smoke from one drifting into the other.
When one fireplace smokes only while the other is burning, we look at the spacing at the top first. Changes there use the listed termination parts for each system.
- Center-to-center spacing
- Height difference between the tops
- Listed termination parts for each system
Why a prefab fireplace smokes
One maker's troubleshooting guide lists the usual reasons a fireplace smokes, including negative pressure in the house, blowers such as a range hood, wet wood, a dirty or blocked chimney and a chimney that is too short.
We work through that list in order, starting with the easy checks. Many smoking complaints end with a cleaner flue or a change in the house, and only some need parts.
- Negative pressure in the house
- A range hood or other blower running
- Wet or unseasoned wood
- A dirty or blocked chimney
- A chimney that is too short
Smoke detectors near a fireplace
One maker recommends installing smoke detectors and suggests placing one in a hallway next to the fireplace room, to reduce false activation from the heat of the appliance, while following any local code that requires one in the same room.
Detectors sit outside the fireplace itself, yet they belong on any list of checks before the season. We remind you of them when we finish a repair.
- One in the hallway next to the fireplace room
- Any detector your local code requires in the room itself
- Regular testing

Prefab fireplace answers for Parramore homeowners
If your question is missing here, our team in Parramore is a phone call away.
Where do I find my fireplace's model number?
On the rating plate. One maker places it on the smoke shelf inside the top of the opening, and your manual shows where yours is. With the fireplace cold, a flashlight usually finds it.
Do you replace the cap on a metal chimney?
Yes, with the listed termination for your chimney system. While we are on the roof, we also check the storm collar and the pipe below the cap.
