Each guide lists local installers and showrooms, the office that issues permits, and the rules to check before you buy.
Share your location, the project you have in mind, and a few optional photos.
We check for a provider who can assess your type of installation. Availability depends on your area.
Your installer evaluates the job and explains the scope and price. You decide whether to go ahead.
Not necessarily. A new chimney system may be an option. A local installer needs to evaluate the building, location, and applicable requirements before confirming what is possible.
Your installer provides the assessment and quote. FireplaceLab collects your project details and helps look for a suitable local provider. We do not perform installations or set the installer’s prices.
There is no charge to submit your project. An installer may charge for a site visit or assessment; ask about any fees before booking. We may receive a referral fee from participating providers.
Availability varies by location and project. Submitting a request does not guarantee a match. We’ll use your project details to check for a suitable provider.
Tell your installer that outage use is a priority. Ask them to confirm how the specific appliance operates without power, including any fans or controls, and whether it suits your heating needs.
