Wood & Pellet Stove Installation in Bordeaux, Nashville (ZIP 37218)
Code-compliant installation of wood-burning and pellet stoves, including proper liner sizing, hearth clearance, and venting.
Newer homes in Bordeaux are increasingly adding a wood or pellet stove as a supplemental heat source, and since these builder-grade fireboxes weren't designed with an insert in mind, proper liner sizing is essential to a safe, code-compliant install.
A wood or pellet stove can heat a Nashville home far more efficiently than an open fireplace, but only if it's installed correctly — proper clearance to combustibles, a correctly sized liner, and venting matched to the manufacturer's specifications. We handle the full installation, not just the appliance drop-off.
What's Included
- Wood stove and pellet stove installation for new and replacement units
- Proper liner sizing and installation matched to the stove's specifications
- Hearth pad and clearance-to-combustible verification
- Venting installation for pellet stoves (direct-vent or through-the-wall)
- Manufacturer's installation manual compliance for warranty protection

- You're replacing an old, inefficient open fireplace with a stove insert

- Visible gaps or improper clearance between the stove and combustible materials

About the Bordeaux Area
Bordeaux is a historic middle-class residential community in north Nashville, developed largely from the 1960s-70s with brick ranch homes on generous lots along Clarksville Pike and Whites Creek Pike. Original single-flue chimneys are standard here, most now 50+ years old, making crown repair and full Level 2 inspections common requests from long-term homeowners who want to keep their family home in good shape. The neighborhood's proximity to the Metro Center industrial corridor has also brought some newer infill and multi-family development in recent years, adding a mix of gas fireplace installs and dryer vent service to an area historically built around traditional wood-burning fireplaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a liner to install a wood stove insert?
In almost every case, yes — inserts require a continuous, correctly sized liner rather than the open flue behind a traditional fireplace.
Is a pellet stove cheaper to run than a wood stove?
Pellet stoves offer more consistent, thermostat-controlled heat and often better efficiency, while wood stoves have lower fuel costs if you have access to firewood — the right choice depends on your priorities and how hands-on you want to be.
Do you install stoves purchased elsewhere?
Yes — we regularly install customer-supplied stoves and inserts, as long as we can verify manufacturer specifications for proper clearance and venting.
