Common questions
Do you offer same-day insert install in Peterborough?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Peterborough for most standard scopes.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
What warranty do you offer on insert install in Peterborough?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Do you need a permit for insert install in Peterborough?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Peterborough. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
When's the best time of year for insert install in Peterborough?
Late September through mid-November with Peterborough averaging 129cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

Is insert install covered by home insurance in Peterborough?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
How long does insert install take in Peterborough?
1 day is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
