Refractory Panel Replacement in Bee Cave, TX

For factory-built (prefab) fireplaces, panels should be the OEM part or the manufacturer-listed equivalent for your exact model. The firebox was tested and listed as a complete system, so off-spec panels can void that listing and the unit's clearance ratings.

Replace when a crack runs all the way through, when you can fit a nickel's edge into it, when panels are spalling or crumbling, or when the steel firebox shell shows through. These are the thresholds techs use to call a panel unsafe to keep burning.

The number of panels (back plus both sides), your fireplace make and model, and whether the OEM panels are still in production. The starting price reflects a single panel; you get a written, line-item quote for parts and labor before work begins.

Not recommended once a panel is cracked through or crumbling, since it no longer shields the surrounding combustibles. A tech can tell you whether the unit is safe to use lightly in the meantime or should sit idle until the parts arrive.

Once the correct panels are on hand, most replacements are one visit. The real delay is sourcing parts for older or discontinued models — that can take days to weeks if the manufacturer no longer stocks them.
