I took your advice, and sought out some local chimney sweeps to quote the installation of the Jotul Oslo I want to install in my open hearth, which has not been used for many years. The first bid came in, and consists of the following:
Stove: 2,370
Install: 2,100
The install consists of:
1. delivery of the stove
2. Setting in place in a stone hearth
3. Removal of current trap door (2.5 x 4 feet) at base of flue
4. Cleaning of flue (not done for many a year I would imagine)
5. Supply and installation of a single wall insulated flue pipe (16 feet)
6. Supply and install of a new stainless steel chimney cap (18" x 30")
No masonry required nor quoted. The flue pipe is a straight shot up the chimney. No safety pad required for the stove, as it will sit deep enough within the hearth.
Is this a reasonable price? What would the expectation be for the install as described?
Thanks for the help.
