Fireplace Installation
Adding or upgrading a fireplace or insert? We install it correctly — with venting and clearances done to code.
Whether you're adding a fireplace, replacing an old one, or dropping an efficient insert into an existing masonry opening, installation done right is about far more than setting the appliance in place. Proper venting, correct liner sizing, safe clearances to combustibles, and a sound connection are what make the difference between a fireplace you enjoy and a hazard you inherit.
Roosevelt Chimney Works installs wood-burning and gas fireplaces and inserts across the Pittsburgh area, handling the whole job — appliance, venting, liner, and finish connections — so it's safe, efficient, and code-compliant from the first fire.
Reasons homeowners install or upgrade
- Adding a fireplace or insert where there wasn't one.
- Replacing an old, inefficient, or unsafe fireplace.
- Upgrading an open masonry fireplace with an efficient insert.
- Converting between wood and gas.
- Improving heat output and efficiency.
How we install
We start with the right appliance for your space and goals, then handle venting and liner sizing to match — an insert, for example, usually needs a correctly sized stainless liner run up the flue. We ensure safe clearances to combustibles and a proper, sealed connection.
Every installation is finished and verified so the appliance drafts correctly and operates safely. For inserts going into existing masonry fireplaces, we coordinate the liner and connection as part of the job so nothing is left half-done.
Pittsburgh & Western PA context
Efficient inserts have become popular in Pittsburgh's older homes, where big open masonry fireplaces look wonderful but lose most of their heat up the flue. Installing a properly vented insert keeps the character while dramatically improving warmth through a long heating season.
