Factory-built fireplaces are a popular choice for homeowners and homebuilders alike in St. Paul, MN, and throughout the Twin Cities area because they are less expensive to install and maintain than a traditional wood-burning fireplace. As a matter of fact, over 75% of all new fireplace installations are factory-built, according to the International Association of Home Inspectors® (InterNACHI).

So, what is a factory-built fireplace? A factory-built fireplace is prefabricated in a factory and then installed in a home. It typically arrives on site with a metal flue, ready for installation by a qualified chimney and fireplace contractor. Factory-built fireplaces are state-of-the-art heating appliances using durable, fire-resistant materials like steel, aluminum, and concrete. They are often more energy-efficient than traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Since they produce more heat, they are affordable appliances for primary, supplemental, or zone heating either inside a home or in an outdoor living space.
