Why Choose A NFI Pro for Your Chimney

Are you considering installing a new indoor or outdoor fireplace, stove, or insert for your Marietta, GA, home? As the warmer spring season arrives, many folks in the Greater Atlanta area will admire the many innovative fireplace styles, features, and fuel options for creating a warm and inviting living space. Since installing a heating appliance requires considerable knowledge and expertise in fuel delivery, combustible clearance, venting, insulation, and other safety practices, be sure the individual or firm you hire is a certified NFI Pro.

National Fireplace Institute® (NFI) pro Technicians in Johns Creek GAWhat is the NFI?

The National Fireplace Institute® (NFI) is a non-profit organization internationally recognized by the hearth industry as one of the industry’s leading credentialing bodies. Through its public website and training for industry professionals, they educate manufacturers, professional technicians, and consumers on the safe planning and installation of heating appliances and venting in residential structures. This assures consumers that their hearth product will be installed safely and correctly.

Why Should I Hire an NFI Pro Technician

When buying, repairing, or installing a heating or hearth product that requires the venting of combustion byproducts, you need to hire an NFI Certified Pro technician. It is your assurance that the person you are letting into your home has the training and knowledge to install the heating appliance safely and efficiently without damaging your property or appliance.

The last thing you want to happen is to light up your brand-new gas-burning fireplace and have smoke and toxic carbon monoxide fumes pouring into your living space because the system is not installed correctly.

To receive NFI certification, a technician must demonstrate core competency through a series of exams and continuing education programs. While this is not an exhaustive list, here are a few key areas of expertise that an NFI Pro offers:

  1. Combustion, draft, and ventilation
  2. Construction of chimneys, fireplaces, and venting systems
  3. Fuel delivery
  4. Heat and insulation
  5. Installation specifications
  6. Regulations and safety requirements
