Steps to Follow for a Proper Stove Installation
On the market, there are now stoves capable of meeting every aesthetic requirement in terms of shape, size, color, and materials. Heating needs can also be fully satisfied, from those who simply want supplementary heating for a single room, to those who need to heat an open-plan space or an entire house.
In any case, it is important to understand that purchasing a stove does not end with choosing the product. Consulting a qualified installer is just as important as selecting the most suitable stove and the best brand on the market.
The stages of a stove or fireplace installation project can be summarized as follows
1. Preliminary Needs Assessment
Every home has unique characteristics. To determine the most suitable pellet or wood stove, several technical aspects must be evaluated, such as the volume to be heated, the number of exterior walls, the number of windows, the exact geographical location, solar exposure, insulation level, etc. All these preliminary calculations allow the stove to be correctly sized and the best installation solution to be identified based on the building’s characteristics.
2. Technical Survey
These assessments are carried out by qualified personnel who will work with you to identify the most suitable solution, also considering the type of stove based on its position and the characteristics of the smoke exhaust system.
3. Augmented reality
At this point, knowing roughly which models are best suited for your home, all that remains is to see them directly in your home using augmented reality.
Augmented reality visualization is ideal before purchasing, because you can:
- check the dimensions and colors
- notice every detail
- choose the stove model that best suits you and your style.

4. Quotation and Project
The price of a pellet stove or fireplace alone makes little sense if it is not considered together with the costs of the flue and installation. The most accurate quotation can therefore only be made after the technical survey and includes all necessary elements, avoiding any unpleasant surprises.
5. Installation and First Ignition
A correct installation performed by qualified personnel is fundamental for stoves and fireplaces. All MCZ dealers, for example, have in-house technical experts or collaborate with external professionals who have been trained by the company and can install and configure the products correctly.
The first ignition is also very important, as it is the moment when the fire is lit in the stove for the first time. This is the ideal time to make any adjustments and explain the product’s operation to the customer in detail.
