FIREPLACE INSTALLATION IN SURREY

Because intricate stone and metalwork as well as volatile gas lines and wiring are involved in the different fireplace installation processes, it’s always best to rely on a professional team of highly trained technicians. To ensure safety, our installation processes for wood-burning and gas fireplaces involve several steps that our team is will trained to execute on.

• Gas: The first step for gas fireplace installation is gas line installation. Whether you have gas lines already or not, a line to the fireplace will be needed. Next, we’ll assemble the frame, shelving and other parts, all the while ensuring safety requirements are met. We will also install a ventilation unit through an exterior wall, and we’ll conduct any wiring that is necessary for add-on wall thermostats and electric controls.
• Wood-burning: Before installing a wood-burning fireplace, we check local building codes about regulations such as chimney height, firebox and flue dimensions, clearances for vent pipes and more. We will then construct the chimney, firebox and flue and install ventilation as necessary.

FIREPLACE MAINTENANCE IN SURREY

The main type of maintenance for any type of fireplace for your home in Surrey is cleaning. Debris can build up in your vent or flue, and it needs to be removed or else it can restrict airflow and smell badly. Thus, to ensure safe ventilation for your fireplaces, you need a professional to clean it for you on a regular basis. Some fireplaces require more extensive and frequent cleaning due to certain components, but even lower-maintenance gas fireplaces can benefit from a routine cleaning which is why it’s highly recommended.

You’ll also need annual inspections for your fireplace for absolute best performance. A technician will take a look at the exterior of the unit to ensure parts aren’t chipped, cracked or dirty and that the framework is sturdy. The ignition will also be inspected to ensure it’s lighting safely. Valves and connections under your fireplace or insert will also be inspected to ensure the heat output is correct for your Surrey home to give you that piece of mind.

Signs that it’s time for your annual inspection or that maintenance is necessary include:

• Ignitor sparks but doesn’t light
• Ignitor won’t create a spark
• Pilot flame goes out on its own
• Main burner goes on and off on its own
• Glass is dirty with a white or black film
• Soot is visible above the fireplace opening
• Blower is making strange noises or not coming on automatically
