Brown Chimney installs fireplaces, inserts and stoves for Boston homeowners who want a usable hearth with a clearly defined installation plan. We begin with the intended location and appliance type, then assess opening dimensions, surrounding materials and the route for venting or electrical connections.
An existing fireplace opening does not establish that the flue is suitable for a new appliance. A gas insert, wood insert and electric insert have different requirements. We identify the inspections and changes needed before proposing equipment, so the fireplace and its supporting systems are considered together.
For a rowhouse or shared building, roof access and responsibility for the chimney can shape the project. Tell us about association approvals, shared flues and any planned renovation. Exterior changes on designated properties may also need preservation review before installation dates are agreed.

Fireplace equipment selected to suit the opening and installation layout
We measure the space, review the available fuel or power supply and confirm the selected appliance's clearances. The quote identifies the equipment package, required liner or venting work, connections and any removal included. Finish work should be specified separately where it falls outside the package.
Once the installation is complete, the applicable startup checks and control walkthrough help you understand the new system. Wood, gas and electric equipment are commissioned differently; the handover follows the model you selected. Keep its operating instructions and installation documentation with your home records.
If an existing flue will be used, start with a Boston chimney inspection. We also provide chimney relining and gas fireplace repair.
A replacement or new installation begins with how the space will be used. These are useful starting points for a project conversation.
Share the room layout, photos and preferred appliance type when you contact us. We confirm the assessment needed, define the installation scope and arrange the work around access and required approvals.
01
A $49 chimney inspection confirms the flue, crown, and structure can host the appliance — and the firebox is measured for exact insert fit. The fee credits toward the work.
02
Unit, liner or venting, subcontractor allowances, and timeline — one package price, fixed in writing before anything is ordered.

03
Wood inserts get a stainless steel liner run the full flue height; gas units get dedicated venting matched to the appliance. This is where efficiency is won or lost.
04
The insert is set, connected, and finished clean. On gas packages, licensed gas and electrical subcontractors work under our coordination — one crew responsible.
05
Every function tested before we leave: ignition, damper or valve, blower, shutoffs. You get the full walkthrough, the documentation, and a fireplace that's ready tonight.

Our first chimney cleaning for our wood stove and could not have asked for a better, swifter and quality experience. Many thanks to the Brown Chimney team.
