Hi all,
Here's my install and insert post: https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewthread/61348/
I had a ballpark estimate but they wouldn't tell me the final bill until afterwards. Though making me nervous, i thought that was fair.
2 guys spent 2.5 hours total setting up and installing the unit - that included getting it out of the truck, onto a dolly, insulating the liner and laying it out, etc.
They used a 15' run of 316ti liner + what looked like 1" thick foil-faced insulation around the liner.
They installed a chimney top SS block-off plate + an "Animal proof" chimney cap.
I estimate parts via chimneylinerdepot.com would run me around $550. They charged me a total of $1100 for installation. I thought this was the "top" of what I considered fair, as the ballpark was between $1000-1300 not including the liner insulation.
One note though: they didn't install a block-off plate at the bottom. I'm going to shove soft batts of ceramic insulation up there to provide both a barrier for hot air to rise but also to actually insulate around the stove.
The service was prompt, corteous, pleasant, and very clean. They made me comfortable having 2 strangers in my house, which is worth something to me.
Hope this helps!
Joe
