A pellet stove is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home, but only when it is installed correctly. Our installers handle the full job, from positioning the stove with proper clearances to running vent pipe that meets the manufacturer's specifications and local codes. You get steady, efficient heat and a setup built for safe everyday use.

Frequently asked questions
Does a pellet stove need a chimney?
Not necessarily. Pellet stoves use a sealed exhaust vent that can run through an exterior wall or up through the roof. If your home already has a chimney, an installer can often route a liner through it instead. Either way, the vent has to follow the manufacturer's instructions and local code requirements.
How long does pellet stove installation take?
Most installations are finished in a single visit. The exact time depends on the vent route, whether a hearth pad needs to be set, and how accessible the installation area is. Your installer will give you a clear picture of the work before starting.
Can I install a pellet stove myself?
We recommend professional installation. Clearances to combustible materials, vent slope, joint sealing, and termination placement all affect safety and performance, and mistakes can lead to smoke leaks or fire hazards. A professional install also helps protect your manufacturer warranty and keeps the work in line with local codes.
