Fireplace, Wood & Pellet Stove Installation in West Hartford
Supply and installation of fireplace inserts, wood and pellet stoves, and gas fireplaces with proper venting and Synchrony financing.
Last Updated:
Upgrade your home heating efficiency and comfort. 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:
- Appliance selection — we help you pick a stove or insert sized to the room and matched to your lifestyle
- Site assessment — chimney condition, hearth requirements, wall clearances, vent path
- Permits and code compliance — we pull permits and coordinate the town inspection
- Chimney liner sizing and installation — a properly sized stainless steel liner for inserts and wood/pellet installs
- Hearth pad — non-combustible pad sized to the appliance
- Venting — direct-vent, class A chimney, or existing masonry chimney with proper connections
- Final commissioning — first burn walkthrough and owner instruction
Synchrony Financing

What Our Customers Say
5 average from 1,000+ reviews
“Found a leak during the heavy rains last week. 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.”
