Materials Needed

Step 1: Prepare the Fireplace

Make sure your existing fireplace is completely clean and free of any debris. Remove the grate, damper, and fireplace doors, if present. Clean the interior thoroughly to create a proper surface for installation.

Step 2: Measure and Adjust

Measure the dimensions of your existing fireplace opening to ensure the pellet fireplace insert will fit properly. Adjust the size of the fireplace opening if necessary, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 3: Install the Insert

Carefully place the pellet fireplace insert into the fireplace opening. Ensure it is level and centered. Attach it securely using the screws and screwdriver, following the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Attach the flex pipe to the back of the pellet fireplace insert. Connect the chimney liner adapter to the other end of the flex pipe. Slide the liner down the chimney until it reaches the adapter, making sure it is properly aligned.

Step 5: Secure the Venting System

Install the flashing around the chimney liner where it exits the roof. Apply sealant to ensure a water-tight seal. Secure the liner to the chimney with screws, making sure it is stable and properly insulated.

Step 6: Clean and Inspect

Use a chimney brush and rod to clean the chimney thoroughly. Inspect the entire system for any leaks or loose connections. Make any necessary adjustments or repairs before proceeding.

Step 7: Test Run

Before using your pellet fireplace insert regularly, perform a test run. Ignite a small amount of pellets and observe the flames and venting system to ensure everything is functioning properly. Make any final adjustments if needed.
