Importance of Proper Fireplace Installation
Proper fireplace installation is crucial because it helps your fireplace be safer to use. Our professional fireplace installers have the knowledge and experience to complete installations with the following safety considerations in mind:
- Sealing: A properly sealed fireplace prevents fires and toxic gas leaks, and it helps maintain your fireplace’s operational efficiency.
- Proper measurements: Installing a fireplace’s components to fit its exact measurements eliminates gaps and cracks that can allow gases to escape. Proper glass door measurements are especially important. A technician must custom-fit a fireplace’s glass doors to ensure they are secure, have an airtight seal and do not become hot to the touch.
- Ventilation: Proper ventilation moves harmful gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) out of your home. CO can cause severe health complications, and it is difficult to notice because it lacks color and odor. A certified fireplace installer ensures your fireplace has effective ventilation to protect your family from CO poisoning.
