The '2+10' rule, generally concerning clearance, dictates that combustible materials should be kept at least two inches away from the fireplace firebox and ten inches from the chimney structure itself. We adhere to all applicable building codes and manufacturer specifications to ensure safe clearances are maintained during installation.

While some DIY enthusiasts may consider it, installing a fireplace insert involves working with gas lines, ventilation, and structural modifications. For safety and efficiency, especially in Texas's varied climate, professional installation by experienced technicians is recommended. This ensures proper function and compliance with local codes.

Our installation process begins with inspecting your current fireplace and chimney. We then prepare the opening, install the chosen insert, and modify or install the venting system. Finally, we perform a functional test and ensure proper sealing and finishing touches are completed for a safe and efficient operation.

The process involves an initial site inspection to assess your fireplace and venting. We then select the appropriate insert and prepare your hearth. Our team then installs the insert and the necessary venting, ensuring all connections are secure and the unit functions according to manufacturer and safety standards.
