Pellet Stove Installation in Colorado
Professional pellet stove installation across Denver, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. Family-owned since 1998 · Licensed & insured · Open 24/7.
About This Service
Pellet stoves deliver thermostat-controlled, high-efficiency heat from compressed wood pellets — a favorite in Colorado's mountain and rural communities where propane is expensive and firewood is work. Installation done right covers venting, clearances, power, and the outside-air details that altitude performance depends on.
We install freestanding pellet stoves and pellet inserts with correct pellet-vent pipe, hearth pads, and combustion-air provisions, configured for elevation — pellet stoves are sensitive to thin air, and the difference between a tuned and untuned unit at 8,000 feet is dramatic.
Signs You Need Pellet Stove Installation
- Heating bills that make propane or electric painful
- You want wood-heat economics with thermostat convenience
- A mountain or rural property needing reliable zone heat
- Limited mobility makes cordwood handling impractical
Installation Done Right
Site evaluation: clearances, hearth, venting route, and combustion air.
Venting system designed and sized to the stove and the structure.
Installation to manufacturer spec and local code, permits handled.
Burn-in and orientation: you learn the stove with the installer standing there.
Why It Matters for Safety
Solid-fuel stoves concentrate serious heat in a small footprint; clearances, hearth protection, and venting exist because house fires taught the industry each rule. A stove installed to spec is wonderfully safe — and every shortcut subtracts from that directly.
Maintenance Tips From Our Technicians
- Empty ash before it reaches the air inlets; airflow is everything in a modern stove.
- Check door and glass gaskets annually — the dollar-bill tug test works.
- Burn only seasoned cordwood; treated or wet wood damages stoves and flues alike.
- Sweep stove flues annually minimum; heavy-use mountain homes often need mid-season checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do pellet stoves work during power outages?
Standard pellet stoves need electricity for augers and blowers, so outages stop them unless you add battery backup — which we can include. For off-grid resilience, some clients pair a pellet stove with a small wood stove.
How does altitude affect pellet stoves?
Thinner air changes the fuel-air balance; unadjusted stoves burn dirty, clinker up, and lose output. Most manufacturers specify high-altitude settings or kits, and configuring them is a standard part of our installs.
