Tips for fireplace (room air-independent)

Hello,

I spoke with our shell builder today. He asked us to clarify the additional services regarding the chimney. In other words, the only thing we need to decide is what kind of flue pipe connection (90° or 45°) we want. I have no idea since we don’t know yet which stove we want. I actually planned to get it in spring 2018, after the heating season is over and there might be some bargains.

Theoretically, we could also have the stove fitter do the flue pipe connection later, but then they would have to drill. I imagine it might be cheaper for me to install it immediately. Or am I mistaken?

Are there any tips and tricks for current stoves that I should pay attention to?

Same problem with us back then, we didn't have it done because we didn't know the height and I definitely wanted one that is connected at the back. So no room for maneuver.

It would be easiest to just quickly call a chimney builder and ask how much it costs and what he considers more sensible.

I would definitely have the drilling done only when the oven is also installed.

I would never in my life think of having that done as long as the stove is not yet installed. Our stove fitter then did it for something between for free and "Appell und ei".

Since you have not yet chosen a fireplace, leave out the flue pipe connection because you cannot know the height of the connection yet. Costs may possibly be reimbursed, the connection pipe is more expensive than a normal flue pipe. The chimney installer can later make a core drilling for you at a suitable height.
