Chimney Fan Installation
Mechanical draft, solved for good
No pressure. No surprise fees. A clear price before any work starts.
Some chimneys never draft right, no matter how many caps, extensions, or damper tweaks you try. A chimney fan is a mechanical draft inducer mounted at the top of the flue that pulls smoke and combustion gases up and out, on demand. Quick Chimney sizes, mounts, and wires the right fan for your flue so your fireplace or stove finally works the way it should.

Frequently asked questions
What is a chimney fan and how does it work?
A chimney fan is an electric draft-inducer mounted at the top of the flue. When switched on, it actively pulls air up the chimney, creating reliable draft regardless of chimney height, house pressure, or weather. You control it from a switch or speed dial inside the home, so you can boost the draft when lighting a fire and ease it back once the fire is established.
Will a chimney fan work with my fireplace or stove?
Chimney fans are made for wood-burning fireplaces, wood stoves, and many gas and oil appliances. During the assessment we match the fan model to your specific flue size and fuel type. For gas appliances, we install with a safety-first approach and follow local codes throughout the job.
Is a fan really necessary, or can the draft problem be fixed another way?
Sometimes a simpler fix works, like a cap upgrade or flue resizing, and we will tell you if it does. A fan is the right call when the draft problem is structural, such as a short chimney, a tight modern home, or surrounding rooflines and tree cover that disrupt airflow. We start with an assessment so you only get what actually solves the problem.
