Pellet Stove Installation in San Marcos — FAQ
What does a code-compliant pellet stove install include?
Listed clearances to combustibles per the stove's label, an approved PL-vent (often horizontal through-wall with a short vertical rise), a non-combustible floor pad, and a final draft and operation test. Manufacturer instructions and NFPA 211 both govern the job, and the manufacturer's listed clearances always take precedence.
Can I vent a pellet stove into my existing masonry chimney?
Only with a listed pellet vent or stainless liner run inside it — never into bare masonry. Pellet exhaust is cooler and under positive pressure, so it condenses and can leak through mortar joints. The chimney gets inspected first, and any required liner is in the quote.
How long does installation take?
A simple through-wall vent is a few hours. A run up an existing chimney, or one needing a liner, longer clearances, or an outside-air kit, can take most of a day. The starting price covers a standard horizontal install; liner or masonry work raises it.
Do I need a permit and inspection?
Most jurisdictions require a permit and final inspection for any new solid-fuel appliance, and the install has to be documented for your homeowner's insurance to cover it. An uninspected install is a common reason a fire claim gets denied.
Do you serve all of San Marcos?
