Fireplace Inserts
Increase Efficiency 5X
Open fireplaces lose up to 90% of their heat up the chimney. Fireplace inserts in Knoxville transform your drafty fireplace into an efficient heating system that warms your home instead of wasting heat. We install wood-burning and gas inserts from leading manufacturers, all properly sized and vented for safe, efficient operation.
Modern inserts include glass doors, blower systems, and thermostatic controls for convenient heating. Professional installation ensures proper fit, correct venting, and code compliance throughout East Tennessee.
Wood Burning Stoves
Efficient Home Heating
Modern wood-burning stoves in Knoxville provide efficient, economical heating that can dramatically reduce your winter energy bills. Our experienced installers handle everything from proper hearth pad construction to correct chimney venting, ensuring your new stove operates safely and meets all local codes.
We install EPA-certified stoves that burn clean and efficient, along with all necessary venting components, floor protection, and clearances. Professional installation protects your investment and your family’s safety.
Gas Logs & Gas Fireplaces
Convenient, Clean Burning
Want the ambiance of a fire without the work of cutting, hauling, and storing firewood? Our gas log installations in Knoxville provide realistic flames and comfortable heat at the flip of a switch. We install both vented and vent-free gas log sets, along with complete gas fireplace systems for new construction or renovations.
Professional gas line installation and venting ensures safe operation and code compliance. We service all major gas log brands and can convert existing wood fireplaces to convenient gas operation.
Expert Fireplace Repair in Knoxville
Cracked Firebox Repairs
Cracks in your firebox’s firebrick lining allow heat to reach combustible materials in your walls, creating serious fire hazards. Our fireplace repair services in Knoxville replace damaged firebrick and refractory panels, rebuild deteriorated fireboxes, and ensure your fireplace operates safely.
Damper Repairs & Replacement
Broken or rusted dampers waste energy and allow animals to enter your home. We repair or replace throat dampers, install top-sealing dampers for better efficiency, and fix damper mechanisms that won’t open or close properly.
Smoke Chamber Repairs
Deteriorated smoke chambers can cause smoke spillage and create fire hazards. We repair cracked smoke chambers using specialized products like HeatShield, parging systems, or complete rebuilds depending on damage severity.
Gas Line & Control Repairs
Gas fireplace problems like pilot lights that won’t stay lit, thermocouples that fail, or control valves that malfunction require professional diagnosis and repair. Our technicians service all major gas fireplace brands and can source parts for older systems.
