When gas or electric suits the room better

A wood-burning fireplace needs a chimney that rises through the roof. Some rooms cannot give it one: a condo-style layout, a room under a second floor with no clear path, or a roof where the chimney cannot reach the required height.

In a house in Oceanway with that problem, a direct-vent gas unit that exits through a wall, or an electric unit with no vent at all, may be the answer. Those are separate jobs, and we tell you when wood will not work in the space. That conversation happens on the first visit, before anything is drawn. Want a fireplace in a room of your Oceanway home that never had one? Before anything is chosen, we check the route; call (904) 920-5495.

Oceanway lies inland, over six miles from the coast. Counted as a direct line, Jacksonville and Oceanway are roughly 14 miles apart.

How It Works

How our installation pros put in a fireplace in Oceanway

The room, the attic and the roof are checked for a clear chimney path before any unit is chosen.
Unit and chimney system chosen
A listed factory-built system from one maker, or a masonry fireplace on its own footing.
Framed, built and inspected
Framing and clearances follow the manual or the code, and the inspector sees them before the walls close.
Hearth, air supply and handover
The hearth extension and outside air go in, and we explain how to run the break-in fires.

Local Conditions

Replacing a worn-out metal fireplace in Oceanway

Factory-built fireplaces wear out: the steel box warps, the panels crack, and parts for older models run out.

For a replacement in Oceanway, the old unit comes out, and the chimney stays only if the new unit's manual lists it.

A hearth extension you can see

For a factory-built fireplace, the code sends the hearth extension to the listing and adds one visible rule: it has to be readily distinguishable from the floor around it. The reason is simple. People need to see where the fire-safe zone ends so they keep rugs and furniture off it. Listed hearth extensions are tested to UL 1618, and the manual gives the size, the materials and any thermal requirement under the surface.

We build the extension to those figures and finish its edge so the line is plain. On a raised design, the manual also says whether the extension can sit on the floor or has to be built up.

The combustion air duct

Outside combustion air reaches the firebox through a duct from an inlet on the exterior. On a factory-built unit, it is a listed component of the fireplace, installed as the manual shows. On a masonry fireplace, a listed duct is installed to its own listing.

Where a duct is not listed, the code keeps combustibles at least an inch from it within 5 feet of its outlet, and the passage into the firebox is sized between 6 and 55 square inches. We route the duct as short and straight as the framing allows. The kit's control at the firebox end closes it when the fireplace is not in use.

What can cover the face of the unit

The face of a factory-built fireplace, the metal around the opening, gets hot, and the manual limits what can cover it. It calls for noncombustible materials such as tile, stone or brick veneer, set with an adhesive rated for the temperature the manual names, and it shows where the facing has to stop short of the opening or the grilles. Combustible board and wood trim stay outside that zone.

We give you the manual's facing rules with the plan, so the tile or stone you choose fits them before it is bought. Grout and setting materials follow the same temperature rule.

FAQ

Before any wall is opened

Is a factory-built fireplace as safe as a masonry one?

Installed and kept to its listing, a factory-built fireplace is tested as a complete system with its chimney. Its safety depends on that listing being followed, which is why substitute parts are not used.

How much floor space does the hearth take?

For a masonry fireplace, the extension reaches 16 inches out from the opening, with 8 more on each side, and grows for openings of 6 square feet or larger. A factory-built unit follows its listing. The plan draws it to size.
