Wood & Pellet Stove Installation in Connecticut
A freestanding stove can be installed in a home with or without an existing chimney when the location, hearth, clearances and approved venting route support it. ABC Chimney Solutions plans the installation around the specific stove manufacturer's instructions and applicable code rather than choosing the stove location by appearance alone.
From the appliance to the chimney cap
ABC Chimney Solutions can build the entire stove venting system, including connector pipe, Class A chimney components, wall or ceiling penetrations, attic or roof routing, supports, flashing, storm collar and cap. Complex projects can include routes through exterior walls or concrete basement walls when the approved design allows it.
Hearth and placement
If the floor needs protection, ABC Chimney Solutions can build or install the hearth system to the required dimensions and material specification. The location is checked against appliance clearances, building conditions and the planned vent route before installation begins.
Help choosing a stove
Homeowners who have not selected an appliance can ask ABC Chimney Solutions for help comparing stove size, BTU, room or home size, intended use and the practical venting options for the house.

Installation Inclusions
Also part of Fireplaces & Stoves
A fireplace or stove installation is more than placing an appliance in a room. The appliance, clearances, hearth, liner or vent system, chimney route, electrical needs, gas work and manufacturer instructions all have to work together. ABC Chimney Solutions can plan and manage the complete installation from the existing structure to the finished system.
Gas Fireplace Conversion
Heat on a switch, with the venting changed to suit gas rather than left as it was.

Questions & Answers
Wood & Pellet Stove Installation — frequently asked
What homeowners ask ABC Chimney Solutions most often about wood & pellet stove installation.
Can you install a stove in a house with no chimney?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions can build a complete approved Class A chimney system for a wood stove or the appropriate venting system for a pellet stove when no existing chimney is available. Learn more about this service.
Can you build the hearth under the stove?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions can build or install the required hearth or floor protection based on the appliance instructions and applicable requirements. Learn more about this service.
Can you help me choose the right stove?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions can help a homeowner compare appliance size, BTU, room size, intended use, location and venting requirements before a stove is purchased. Learn more about this service.
Will you show me how to use the stove?
Yes. ABC Chimney Solutions explains the basic controls, appropriate fuel and operating considerations after installation so the homeowner understands the new system. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by from the appliance to the chimney cap?
ABC Chimney Solutions can build the entire stove venting system, including connector pipe, Class A chimney components, wall or ceiling penetrations, attic or roof routing, supports, flashing, storm collar and cap. Complex projects can include routes through exterior walls or concrete basement walls when the approved design allows it. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by hearth and placement?

The location is checked against appliance clearances, building conditions and the planned vent route before installation begins. Learn more about this service.
What does ABC Chimney Solutions mean by help choosing a stove?
Homeowners who have not selected an appliance can ask ABC Chimney Solutions for help comparing stove size, BTU, room or home size, intended use and the practical venting options for the house. Learn more about this service.
What decides where a stove can go?
Clearances to combustible material, the hearth beneath it, and the venting route available. The room layout usually has to work around those rather than the other way round. It is one of the things ABC Chimney Solutions assesses when it looks at wood & pellet stove installation. Learn more about this service.
Do I need an existing chimney?
No. Where there is no masonry chimney, a listed chimney system can be routed through walls, ceilings or the roof to serve the appliance. ABC Chimney Solutions covers this as part of its wood & pellet stove installation work in Connecticut. Learn more about this service.
What hearth does a stove need?
Whatever the appliance requires, and ABC Chimney Solutions can build the hearth protection as part of the installation rather than leaving it to someone else. Learn more about this service.
Is a pellet stove installed differently?
Yes. Pellet appliances have their own venting requirements and a different termination, so the installation is not simply a wood stove with different fuel. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book wood & pellet stove installation. Learn more about this service.
Can you help choose the stove?
ABC Chimney Solutions can help select a suitable appliance for the room and the venting available, which avoids the common problem of a stove chosen first and vented afterwards. Learn more about this service.
What happens when it is installed?
The appliance and draft are checked in operation and you are shown how to run the system before the job is considered complete. Ask ABC Chimney Solutions about it when you book wood & pellet stove installation. Learn more about this service.
Can any fireplace take an insert?
Not automatically. The insert has to fit the firebox and connect to a venting system suitable for that appliance, so ABC Chimney Solutions checks the fireplace dimensions, flue, chimney height and clearances before recommending one. Learn more about this service.
Do I need a liner with an insert or stove?
A full liner connection from the appliance to the top of the chimney is generally recommended, because it gives a controlled venting path of the right size rather than discharging into an oversized masonry flue. ABC Chimney Solutions can tell you which applies to your chimney when it looks at wood & pellet stove installation. Learn more about this service.

What Homeowners Say
Reviews from the towns we work in
Eight of the several thousand chimneys we have swept, lined and rebuilt across Connecticut.
The inspection found a cracked clay liner two other companies had missed. Relined in stainless the following week and the smoke coming back into the room stopped dead.
Open fire had not been swept in six years. They pulled out a shocking amount of creosote, sheeted the whole hearth, and left the room spotless.
Damp was coming through the chimney breast for two winters. They traced it to a failed crown, recast it and waterproofed the brickwork — bone dry since.
Flashing had lifted and the damper had seized shut. Both repaired in one visit, and they showed me the before and after photos on the roof.

Full stack rebuild above the roofline on a 1920s house. They matched the original brick and mortar so closely the neighbors asked who did our repointing.
Booked the sweep on Monday, done Tuesday. The photographs and written flue report are more thorough than the survey we paid for when we bought the place.
Our wood stove never drew properly. They worked out the flue was oversized for the appliance, fitted an insulated liner, and it lights first time now.
Needed the chimney looked at fast for a house sale. On the roof the next morning, and I had a clear answer and a price the same afternoon.
