A factory-built fireplace, also known as prefabricated fireplaces, are pre-assembled units made from metal and designed to be installed in homes without traditional masonry construction. They typically consist of a firebox, chimney, and venting system that work together to contain heat and safely direct smoke outside.

Routine maintenance is vital for keeping your home energy efficient and comfortable. There are a variety of services that can be performed to keep your chimney functional, such as completing water intrusion remediation, replacements of rusted flashing in brick chimneys, cricket diversions for water, and chimney cap replacements and/ or upgrades.

Your fireplace is supposed to warm your home, not cool it. If you’re preparing your nightly fire, and you feel cold air coming from within the fireplace and into your home, your chimney is drafting backwards. 

Steel form unit fireplaces are metal boxes that are designed to have air channels built around them. These metal structures act as the foundation for the firebox, protecting your home from heat and flames while directing smoke up and out of the chimney. They are required to have minimum masonry thickness for proper operation.
