Replacing a metal fireplace that has worn out

When the firebox of a factory-built fireplace has warped or rusted through, the repair is a new fireplace. The plan for that job in Penney Farms starts with two measurements and one document. The measurements are the framed opening and the chimney pipe diameter. The document is the new unit's manual, which says whether the existing pipe can stay. If it cannot, the chimney is replaced with the system the new unit lists, and the pipe, the firestops and the top parts are priced as separate lines that show where the cost sits. We look at the room, the attic and the roof of your Penney Farms home on one free visit; call (904) 920-5495.

More than about six miles separate Penney Farms from the coast. The direct distance from Jacksonville to Penney Farms is about 24 miles.

How It Works

How our installation pros put in a fireplace in Penney Farms

Route walked, hearth to roof
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

Planning a fireplace in Penney Farms

More than about six miles of land lie between Penney Farms and the coast, so salt is rarely what decides the metal for the rooftop parts here. The route decides most of the plan.

We walk the room, the attic and the roof to find a chimney path that meets the listing or the code.

Thirty degrees and four elbows

Bending a factory-built chimney around a beam or a ridge is allowed, within limits. The code keeps every part of the assembly within 30 degrees of vertical and allows no more than four elbows in it, and the manual can set tighter limits for its own system. Each offset also needs support and a strap where the manual shows one. Those numbers shape the route more than anything else in the attic.

When a straight run is not possible, we draw the offsets first and check them against both limits before the route is priced. Fewer offsets also mean fewer joints to check later.

Decorative tops need their own listing

A plain metal cap on a factory-built chimney can look out of place, and decorative shrouds are sold to dress it up. The code allows a shroud at the top of a factory-built chimney only when the shroud is listed and labeled for that specific chimney system and installed to the maker's instructions. A shroud that is not listed can trap heat or change the draft the system was tested with.

If you want a finished look at the top, we price a shroud from the chimney maker's list, or a chase finish that keeps the listed cap exposed. Anything else stays off the top.

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.

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.

Is a new fireplace covered by the new-customer offer?

It is. A new installation counts toward 10% off your first service when it is your first job with us.
