Scheduling in Rocky Hill
Visits in Rocky Hill are booked by phone or through the estimate form. A short description of the system and the problem is enough to plan the visit.
What the visit covers
A unit sized for the room heats comfortably; one far too large makes the space too warm. Clearances to combustibles are set by the manufacturer and the building code.
Measure
Opening, clearances and the vent route.
Plan
Permits, venting parts and any electrical or gas work are lined up.
Fit
Unit, liner or vent, surround and hearth.
Start up
Test fire, draft check and a walk-through.
If you smell gas
Leave the home right away, don't use switches or phones inside, and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.
How to prepare
- Make sure the technician can reach the roof or attic access if it's needed.
- Note the make and model of any insert, stove or gas unit if you have it.
- Clear a few feet of space in front of the hearth or appliance.
- Let the fireplace or stove cool completely — ideally no fire for 24 hours before the visit.
