A fireplace installer is a tradesperson who installs and works with fireplaces and their surrounds. Often the actual structural part of a fireplace isn’t built by the installer but is pre-fabricated.
Once a builder has completed the basic structure, an installer will be responsible for setting it into the structure and attach all required gas and wiring. Once it’s positioned, the fireplace installer will add the mantle and any extra trim to finish it off.
There are many different types of fireplaces and restriction in your area may affect which type your home is best suited to. These include, Wood burners, ventilated and non-ventilated gas burners.
