What a proper fireplace installation involves in Robinson Hills
From our family-owned crew, the details that decide how a new fireplace works.
Plan the outside air kit on day one
An outside air kit brings combustion air from outdoors to the firebox through a listed duct. The E-series manual notes that optional parts can be added later, with one exception: adding an outside air kit after the fact requires significant reconstruction, so it should go in during the initial installation.
That is why outside air is decided at the planning stage, well before the drywall is finished. We show you where the duct would run, where the inlet would sit on the outside wall and how it ties into the framing, before any wall is closed.
No single-wall pipe inside a chase
Single-wall pipe has no place inside a chase. One maker's manual warns never to install single-wall slip sections or smoke pipe in a chase structure, because the higher temperature of single-wall pipe may radiate enough heat to combustible chase materials to cause a fire.
Every section inside the chase is the listed chimney pipe for the fireplace. When we replace an old installation and find single-wall pipe in a chase, we show you, because it changes what the replacement has to include.
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.
Adding a fireplace where there has never been one
Adding a fireplace to a room that has never had one begins with the route. The mantel comes later. The chimney has to reach the roof within the offset limits, clear the ten-foot rule and pass through floors and attics without cutting structure it depends on.
We check those limits for each wall you are considering, then talk about appearance. Often one wall that looks ideal fails on the route, and a nearby wall works well. Learning that at the free inspection costs nothing.

What Robinson Hills homeowners want to know about adding a fireplace
If we missed your question, our Robinson Hills fireplace team answers the phone.
What can cover the face of the fireplace?
For a factory-built unit, noncombustible materials such as tile, brick or stone, with cooling slots and the door frame left clear. We confirm your finish against the manual before it is ordered.
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.
