the outcome and success of the fireplace installation mean different things to everyone but also depend on various factors. Of course, the successful installation of a fireplace is ultimately evident when we light the fire, but not exclusively at that moment. However, what factors determine this successful fireplace installation?
Firstly, a key factor for the successful installation of a fireplace is the experience of the installer. It may seem simple for someone to install a fireplace, especially for open-type stone fireplaces, any builder can do the installation. However, things are not that simple. There are details that need to be paid attention to, and only an experienced craftsman can be aware of them. Therefore, it is important and necessary for the success of fireplace installation to choose specialized personnel.
Another factor that determines the success of fireplace installation is the level of difficulty in its placement. This depends, above all else, on the type and size of the fireplace. A large fireplace is more difficult and time-consuming to install than a small one. Also, a forced-air energy-efficient fireplace has more details to be taken care of than a traditional open-type one. The installation requirements for an energy-efficient fireplace are even greater, and specialization is more imperative.
But what does successful installation mean, and what can go wrong to be considered a problem with the fireplace we installed?
First of all, success in fireplace installation means that when we light it, it operates normally and heats the house without causing any problems. It also means that it is beautifully constructed and installed, without any ugliness and flaws that offend the eye and leave us dissatisfied. It also means that when we look at it, we are pleased to see it and it fits the space where we have placed it, which mainly depends on the correct selection in the market.
Successful fireplace installation also means that the cost of installation is not disproportionate to the result and the fireplace in front of us. An overly expensive installation will never be considered successful no matter how technically or aesthetically perfect it is. Therefore, we seek cheap prices and quality work in the installation of a fireplace.
A fireplace without success in its selection and installation will not heat the space at all. And there is something even more difficult than that. Not being able to light the wood at all and raise the temperature. For example, a huge fireplace with disproportionate dimensions will not allow the wood we light to increase the temperature of its fireplace, resulting in needing a lot of wood to light it and it lights with difficulty.
A significant problem, perhaps the most important in the operation of a fireplace, is smoking. Poor construction of the hearth and chimney, incorrect dimensions, and ignorance of the details of construction and installation that need to be paid attention to can lead to smoking problems. And it is common for the fireplace to be lit and soon the space to fill with smoke. However, when this is a rule in lighting the fireplace, we must either intervene to fix the problem if it can be done, or we must completely abandon the fireplace, something that is clearly called a complete failure.
