Choose your city
Oklahoma's climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters, makes a reliable fireplace insert a valuable asset for both supplemental heating and creating a cozy ambiance during cooler months. The state's housing stock, which includes a significant number of wood-framed homes, requires careful attention to fire safety clearances and proper venting. We meticulously adhere to the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code and any applicable local ordinances, ensuring that all installations, particularly within the Oklahoma City area, meet stringent safety and performance criteria, including those pertaining to venting and clearances to combustible materials.
Common questions
What is the 2 + 10 rule for fireplaces?
The 2+10 rule is a safety standard for chimneys, stipulating that the chimney structure must extend at least two feet higher than any part of the building within a ten-foot horizontal radius. This ensures adequate draft and prevents smoke from re-entering the dwelling, a crucial safety consideration for Oklahoma residences.
Can I install a fireplace insert myself?
How do you install a fireplace insert?
Our installation process begins with a thorough inspection of your existing fireplace and chimney. We then prepare the firebox, ensuring all required clearances to combustible materials are met. The insert is precisely fitted, and a proper venting system, often a stainless steel liner, is installed and sealed to the chimney flue for optimal draft and safety.
How much does it cost to install a fireplace insert?
The cost of fireplace insert installation is influenced by factors such as the chosen insert model, the condition of your existing fireplace and chimney, and any necessary modifications to the venting system. Oklahoma's building codes and the architectural specifics of your home will also be considered. Please contact us for a complimentary phone quote.

What are Oklahoma's codes for fireplace inserts?
Oklahoma's building codes, which often align with the International Residential Code (IRC) and NFPA standards, dictate requirements for fireplace insert installations. These codes specify clearances, hearth extensions, and venting methods to ensure fire safety and efficient operation. We ensure all installations meet or exceed these stringent requirements.
