Q: Who installs fireplaces?

• <div><p>Knowing who to hire to install your fireplace is important when it comes to having a safe place to burn a fire in your home. The best person to contact for installing fireplaces is a mason or general contractor who has a <a href="https://www.nficertified.org/public/">National Fireplace Institute</a> (NFI) specialist certification. If you&rsquo;re installing wood paneling, then it&rsquo;s a good idea to also find a pro who is Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT)-certified. </p><p>Both of these certifications show that your pro is well-equipped to install fireplaces and inspect your home for the utmost safety.</p></div>

Q: What is the expected duration for setting up a gas, pellet, or wood stove?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on venting requirements and site preparation.</p></div>

Q: What wood should not be burned?

• <div><p>While hardwoods are the best woods to burn, a few types of woods should be avoided when burning. Wood that has not had time to season, or &ldquo;green wood,&rdquo; should be avoided. The extra water in the wood makes it smoke horribly, which is not a quality you want. Additionally, it&rsquo;s best to avoid any wood that is manufactured or has been treated, including coated or sealed wood, painted wood, or pressure-treated wood. These woods have chemicals that will be released into your air when burned and can cause health problems.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to leave a pellet stove on overnight?

• <div><p>Yes. It&rsquo;s okay to leave a pellet stove on overnight, and these stoves can provide 24 to 48 hours of warmth from one ignition. However, you should practice proper pellet stove maintenance, like cleaning the burn pot before each use, deep cleaning the unit at least once per year, and running the fan when the stove is lit.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a chimney for a pellet stove?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t necessarily <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-pellet-stoves-need-a-chimney.htm">need a chimney for a pellet stove</a>. However, all pellet stoves need some type of venting system to get rid of gasses and other potentially harmful byproducts of combustion. If you don&rsquo;t have a chimney, an alternative option is to vent your pellet stove through an exterior wall of your home.</p></div>
