The National Fireplace Institute® is a professional certification organization for specialists involved in planning and installing residential hearth appliances and venting systems. Earning an NFI credential requires passing an examination covering the technical knowledge needed to properly plan fireplace, stove, insert, and venting projects.
A fireplace involves more than selecting a design. Fuel type, appliance requirements, clearances, venting, heat protection, and installation instructions all affect whether a product is appropriate for your project. Working with a knowledgeable specialist helps you make better-informed decisions from the beginning.
NFI certification is earned through testing based on knowledge identified by hearth-industry professionals as important to residential hearth planning and installation.
Our team can help you evaluate the complete fireplace package—not just the appliance. We review your goals and available project information so you can select a product that works with your design and installation plans.
An NFI Certified Specialist has passed an examination covering important knowledge related to hearth appliances and venting systems. Depending on the certification earned, this may include combustion, heat protection, clearances, fuel delivery, venting, building codes, manufacturer instructions, and installation planning.
NFI credentials are awarded to individuals rather than businesses. Mod Living Spaces is proud to have an NFI Certified Specialist on staff who can provide knowledgeable guidance during the fireplace selection and planning process.
A certified specialist can help you compare fireplace types, review manufacturer specifications, identify compatible components, and understand important venting, clearance, framing, and placement considerations. This can help you make a more informed purchase before installation begins.
We can help narrow your options based on your preferred fuel, fireplace style, room design, desired heat output, venting possibilities, and project plans. Final product approval and installation requirements should also be confirmed by your qualified local installer and applicable building authority.
If available, have your room dimensions, project drawings, photographs, preferred fuel type, desired fireplace style, and information about the proposed venting path. You do not need every detail finalized—our team can help identify the information still needed.
No. NFI certification demonstrates that an individual has passed an industry examination, but it is not a contractor’s license. Installation must still follow manufacturer instructions, local building codes, permit requirements, and applicable licensing rules.
Yes. We can help you select the fireplace and identify compatible venting, controls, surrounds, liners, media, and other required or optional components. Call us before ordering so we can review your proposed package and current product availability.
