We supply and install fireplace inserts, free-standing wood and pellet stoves, and gas fireplaces — handling venting, liner sizing, clearances, and hearth requirements. Financing available through Synchrony. ## Upgrade Your Home Heating in One Weekend A modern fireplace insert, wood stove, pellet stove, or gas fireplace does more than look good. It turns a heat-losing masonry fireplace or an empty corner into a genuine secondary heat source that can cut your winter heating bill and stay warm during Connecticut power outages. We handle the whole installation — from appliance selection through venting, permit, and inspection — so you get a safe, code-compliant install that actually performs. ## Appliance Types We Install **Fireplace inserts** slide into an existing masonry fireplace opening. Wood, pellet, and gas versions all dramatically improve efficiency compared to an open fireplace. Requires a correctly sized stainless liner. **Free-standing wood stoves** sit on a hearth pad, vent through a wall or ceiling, and put out serious heat. Great for open floor plans and homes without an existing chimney. **Pellet stoves** burn compressed wood pellets, feed themselves automatically, and offer close to gas-appliance convenience with wood-burning economics. **Gas fireplaces and inserts** deliver push-button convenience, controllable heat, and no ash cleanup. Vent-free options are limited by CT code, so we typically install direct-vent gas units. ## What a Real Installation Includes Every installation from West Hartford Chimney Repair covers: 1. **Appliance selection** — we help you pick a stove or insert sized to the room and matched to your lifestyle 2. **Site assessment** — chimney condition, hearth requirements, wall clearances, vent path 3. **Permits and code compliance** — we pull permits and coordinate the town inspection 4. **Chimney liner sizing and installation** — a properly sized stainless steel liner [/chimney-relining/ →](/chimney-relining/) for inserts and wood/pellet installs 5. **Hearth pad** — non-combustible pad sized to the appliance 6. **Venting** — direct-vent, class A chimney, or existing masonry chimney with proper connections 7. **Final commissioning** — first burn walkthrough and owner instruction ## Synchrony Financing Stove and insert installations typically run $2,500–$8,000+ depending on the appliance, venting complexity, and hearth work. We partner with Synchrony to offer flexible financing — often with deferred-interest promotions — so you can move forward without a large lump-sum outlay.

They were out the next morning, traced it to the flashing, and fixed it same day. Clean, professional, and fair pricing.” > “Our 1920s chimney needed a full rebuild. The crew rebuilt it beautifully and then washed the roof and raked the lawn afterward. You'd never know they were here, except the chimney looks brand new.” > “Booked a sweep and inspection by text. The tech laid down drop cloths, used a HEPA vacuum, and showed me the video scan of the flue. Genuinely the most thorough chimney company I've used.” ## Questions About Fireplace & Stoves ### Do I need a chimney liner for a new fireplace insert? + Yes, almost always. Modern inserts require a correctly sized stainless steel liner running from the appliance to the top of the chimney for safe drafting and efficient operation. We handle the liner sizing and installation. ### What's more efficient, a wood stove, pellet stove, or gas fireplace? + Pellet stoves and modern gas fireplaces convert the most fuel to usable heat and are the easiest to run. Wood stoves offer the traditional ambience and can be very efficient with today's EPA-certified models. See our comparison in \[Pellet vs Wood vs Gas\](/guide/pellet-vs-wood-vs-gas-fireplaces/). ### Can I finance a new stove or insert? + Yes. We partner with Synchrony to offer flexible financing on stove and insert installations, including deferred-interest and reduced-APR promotions. Subject to credit approval. ### Do I need a permit for a new wood or pellet stove? + In most Connecticut towns, yes. We handle the permit application, inspection scheduling, and code-compliance paperwork so you don't have to.
