Why Trust a Professional Chimney Technician for Wood Stove Installation?

There’s always that person out there who’s going to Google “DIY wood stove installation” in hopes of finding an easy process that’ll save them money. Is this okay? For wood stove installation, this isn’t something we’ll ever recommend, as it can invite all kinds of safety risks, like fire hazards or carbon monoxide exposure.

In addition, safety risks aside, DIY installation – or DIY chimney services, in general – tend to cost the homeowner more over time, leading to damages, inefficiency, and a shorter system lifespace. We’ve got three big reasons to trust our pros for your wood stove installation services in Rutland and its surrounding areas:

  1. We’ll ensure proper installation and code/safety compliance.

Installing a wood stove is complex. It involves more than just setting the stove in place and connecting it to the chimney – local building codes and safety regulations need to be followed, and if appropriate connection requirements and clearances aren’t met, you could be putting your household at risk every time a fire is lit.

By trusting a professional, you can be confident that your wood stove will operate efficiently and – more importantly – safely.

Our technicians are trained to handle all the complexities involved in the installation process, and we’ll ensure everything is up to par and ready for use. We can make necessary modifications to the chimney or flue to ensure proper draft, preventing issues like smoke backdrafts or inefficient burning, as well as make certain your current chimney is compatible with the wood stove you want to install.

  1. Professional installations minimize the risk of repairs, protecting your home and investment.

A wood stove is a significant investment, and improper installation can lead to costly repairs – or even the need for a premature replacement. A professional chimney technician ensures that the installation is done right the first time, protecting your investment and prolonging the life of your wood stove.

And our techs can also advise on the best practices for maintaining your stove and chimney, helping you get the most out of your purchase.

In addition, incorrect installation of a wood stove can lead to property damage, such as wall or ceiling fires, structural damage, or smoke damage. Rest assured that we take all necessary precautions to prevent these risks.

  1. Our technicians guarantee peace of mind and comfort for your household.

In the end, trusting us to install your new wood stove provides peace of mind – and isn’t that what you crave the most when temps drop and you’re cozied up inside?

When you hire us, you can rest assured that the job will be done correctly, and that your stove will operate as safely and efficiently as possible with every season. And should any issues arise, we’ll be there to address them promptly, ensuring long-lasting protection year after year.

We can also provide valuable advice for use and maintenance…so, if you have any questions, please ask away! Ready to book your next service with us? Reach out now – we’d love to hear from you.

Burning Wood in the Stove

Do Wood Stoves Need a Chimney?

Yes! Wood stoves produce smoke, gases, and particulate matter as they burn wood, and these byproducts need a safe and effective way to exit the home – which is just what your chimney should provide.

That said, if it was installed incorrectly (see notes above), or if it’s facing some type of damage or malfunction, it might be failing you. In these cases, getting a tech on the job promptly is important as, without proper venting, harmful gases like carbon monoxide can build up in your home, leading to potential health risks. You could also see an increased risk of fire hazards.

Be sure to book annual chimney inspections with our team to minimize your risk of experiencing issues and home threats.

What’s the Best Way To Vent My Wood Stove?

Now, chimneys come in all sizes, shapes, and material types, so…what’s the best way to vent a wood stove?

While traditional chimneys are the most common venting method for wood stoves, there are alternatives if you don’t already have a masonry chimney in place. For instance, we can install stainless steel flue pipes or direct vent systems that run from the stove to the outdoors through a hole in your wall or ceiling.

However (and we don’t mean to sound like a broken record here), these systems must still be correctly installed and vented to ensure safer operation for your home. If you’re seeking venting solutions for your wood stove, reach out to our team. We’ll help you navigate this process.
