Do you want to install a fireplace in your home? This method of heating with wood has come back in force in recent years, in particular because it is both economical and more respectful of the environment than most other heating methods. In 5 steps, we will help you see more clearly so that you can get started with your fireplace installation project serenely. How to make a success of your fireplace project? 1 / Procedures and regulations 2 / Feasibility of the project and precautions 3 / Choice of model 4 / Order in store 5 / Installation 1 / Procedures and regulations Avant tout, il est important de vous assurer de l’aspect légal de cette installation. Les normes changent régulièrement et varient selon les communes. Si vous êtes locataire par exemple, sachez qu’il faut l’accord du propriétaire. Il est donc important de vous renseigner. Pensez ensuite à vous renseigner sur les aides fiscales dont vous pourriez bénéficier. L’État propose différentes subventions pour favoriser la transition vers des moyens de chauffage plus respectueux de l’environnement. Aussi, plusieurs normes (NF, CE…) encadrent la fabrication et l’installation des cheminées et pièces associées. Un certificat attestant de la pose par un professionnel peut être demandé par votre assureur afin de garantir la bonne installation de l’équipement et donc la sécurité. 2/ Faisabilité du projet et précautions Avant de choisir le modèle qui vous plaît, il est important de vous assurer de quelques éléments techniques : Est-ce que votre logement est équipé d’un conduit pour évacuer les fumées ? Si oui, faites appel à un professionnel pour le ramoner, vérifier s’il est en bon état et s’il est équipé d’un tube métallique. Sinon, il faut prévoir des travaux. Est-ce qu’une grille de ventilation est déjà en place à proximité pour garantir une bonne combustion ? Sinon, un professionnel devra l’installer. Est-ce que le sol peut accueillir une cheminée ? Il doit être à même de supporter un poids important sur une zone restreinte. Si vous prévoyez d’installer votre appareil à l’étage, il est important de faire appel à un professionnel pour vous assurer de la faisabilité du projet. Is the floor covering flammable? Incombustible floors should be preferred, at least between 0 and 1 meter from the appliance to avoid any risk of fire in the event of embers projecting. Mandatory since 2015, the smoke detector is all the more important when you have a fireplace in your home. For safety, you can install a second in the room of the future fireplace. To determine the feasibility of the project, you can count on the expertise of Cheminées Philippe professionals. They will support you in your efforts to ensure the feasibility of your project. If necessary, they will help you adapt the project according to technical constraints. They will of course also take into account your expectations and your tastes to create with you a project that suits you. 3 / Choice of model When installing a fireplace, you have two choices: the insert and the closed fireplace. The choice will mainly depend on the use you will make of your device and your home. The insert is less powerful than the closed hearth and will therefore be more suitable for additional heaters, in medium-sized homes. The closed fireplace is generally more powerful but also heavier, ideal for heating an entire house. The fuel is also to be taken into account. Wood-logs, pellets… The choice will depend on the use of your fireplace. The granules allow for example to better regulate the temperature even if you are away, by opting for a model with automatic electronic regulation. Want to look at some models?
