Safe, Efficient, and Code-Compliant
Wood Stove Installation in
Vermont & New Hampshire
Nothing matches the deep, radiant warmth and inviting atmosphere of a classic wood-burning stove during a brutal northern winter. Beyond providing incredible comfort, a modern wood stove is a highly efficient heating alternative that can drastically cut your monthly utility bills. However, because these appliances generate intense, concentrated heat, venting them requires flawless precision.
Bring safe, reliable heat into your home. We provide comprehensive, professional wood stove installation services across Vermont and New Hampshire. Our certified technicians handle every single stage of the process—from custom hearth design to precise chimney venting—ensuring your new stove operates at peak efficiency while meeting strict fire safety codes.
Why Professional
Wood Stove Installation Matters
A wood stove is only as good as the system venting it. Cutting corners on an installation can lead to sluggish drafts, dangerous indoor smoke back-puffing, creosote buildup, or structural fire hazards. Trusting an expert ensures your system is safe from day one.
Strict Clearance-to-Combustible Engineering
We precisely calculate and enforce the exact distance your stove must sit from walls, furniture, and framing to eliminate hidden fire risks.
Code-Compliant Hearth Protection
Our team installs premium, non-combustible floor pads and heat shields engineered to deflect radiant heat and catch stray embers safely.
Optimized Venting & Chimney Draft
We design and assemble code-compliant stainless steel chimney systems to create the perfect draft, keeping smoke out of your home.
Maximum Fuel & Thermal Efficiency
A professional setup ensures your stove combusts wood completely, delivering more heat to your living room while using less firewood.
Trusted by Your Neighbors
Chimney Savers sent a wonderful team of young men to our home to repair the many issues with our chimneys and get both an old wood stove and a new one properly installed. Their work was neat, professional and resulted in us having assurance we were in full compliance with all of the current codes and regulations relative to burning wood in these stoves. But the best of all, we now have ample heat to stave off the winter cold. These young men worked tirelessly; were impeccably courteous; and did superlative workmanship. We couldn't be more happy and definitely endorse Chimney Savers as the absolute best chimney service we have ever found.

Not sure if a wood stove makes sense for your home?
It's time to upgrade if you experience these common scenarios.
Replacing an Inefficient Appliance
Traditional open fireplaces and legacy wood stoves waste up to 80% of their heat right up the chimney. Upgrading to a modern, EPA-certified stove radiates massive heat back into your home.
Adding Independent Backup Heat
If you want a reliable, secondary heat source that keeps your family perfectly warm and cozy during sudden winter power outages and severe ice storms.
Offsetting High Utility Costs
If your central furnace runs non-stop all winter and you want to slash your monthly oil, propane, or electric bills by zone-heating your main living spaces with affordable, local cordwood.
Building a New Home or Addition
Constructing a sunroom, cabin expansion, or a custom home build where a traditional masonry chimney doesn't exist, but you want a permanent, high-output heat anchor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an existing chimney to install a wood stove?
No. Chimney Savers installs new Class A chimney systems as part of the wood stove installation project. We handle the full scope — stove, pipe, and chimney — so you don't need to coordinate multiple contractors or source a separate company for the chimney work.
Is there a financial incentive available for wood stove installation in Vermont?
Yes. Vermont residents are currently eligible for a $400 rebate through Efficiency Vermont toward the purchase of a qualifying high-efficiency wood stove. Our wood stove installers will confirm which Regency models qualify and help you with the documentation needed to claim the rebate.
How efficient are modern wood stoves?
EPA 2020-certified wood stoves achieve efficiency ratings of 70% or higher. Older stoves — particularly pre-2020 models — often operate well below that threshold. The difference means more heat per cord of wood, longer burn times, significantly less creosote buildup in the flue, and lower overall fuel consumption across a Vermont or New Hampshire heating season.
Can a wood stove heat my whole house?
It depends on your home's size, layout, insulation, and the stove you select. Many Vermont and New Hampshire homeowners use a wood stove as their primary heat source in the main living area while relying on a backup system for the rest of the house. Others use larger freestanding models to heat a significant portion of the structure. We size the stove to your actual heating goals at the assessment stage.
What maintenance does a wood stove require?
An annual chimney sweep and inspection is the primary maintenance requirement — ideally before the heating season begins. Chimney Savers handles this for wood stove systems across Vermont and New Hampshire. The same team that installed your stove will maintain it.
How long does a wood stove installation take?
Most wood stove installations are completed in a single day. Projects that require a new Class A chimney system may take longer depending on the scope of the chimney work involved. We give you a clear timeline at the estimate stage.
