How Fireplace Services Work

Blackburns Chimney handles fireplace, insert, and stove sales and installation for homes in Columbus, OH and nearby suburbs.

1. In-Home Assessment

A technician inspects your home's layout, existing flue, and fuel line access to determine which hearth options comply with local Columbus safety codes.

2. Unit Selection

You choose between a fireplace, insert, or stove based on your heating needs and visual style, then receive an all-inclusive estimate.

3. Venting & Site Preparation

Technicians install heat protection barriers and run stainless steel flue liners or vent piping through your chimney or exterior wall.

4. Installation & Utility Hookup

The unit is leveled and secured, followed by the connection of gas, electrical, or blower components with airtight seals.

5. Testing & Walkthrough

The installer tests draft performance, checks for gas leaks, and demonstrates how to operate and maintain your new system safely.

Sales & Installation

Why Hire an Expert for Fireplace Installation?

Hiring an expert ensures your fireplace is installed safely and in strict compliance with local building codes, fire safety standards, and manufacturer specifications. Professional installers properly manage complex venting, gas line connections, electrical wiring, and clearance requirements, preventing catastrophic hazards like chimney fires, dangerous gas leaks, or carbon monoxide buildup.

CSIA-Certified Technicians

Certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America.

What's Included in Your Service:

  • Fireplace Sales & Installation: Providing and setting up a complete, built-in fireplace structure from scratch—including the firebox, surround, and venting system—typically built directly into a wall during new construction or major remodeling.
  • Fireplace Insert Sales & Installation: Fitting a specialized heating unit directly inside an existing, inefficient open-masonry fireplace to drastically improve heat efficiency, upgrade aesthetics, and modernize venting.
  • Stove Sales & Installation: Supplying and installing a standalone, free-standing heating appliance (fueled by wood, gas, or pellets) that sits out in the room and vents through a wall or ceiling pipe.

On top of their obvious expertise, they do a great job of being tidy in what is inherently not a tidy enterprise. Thank you for making this service an easy experience!"
