Whether you’re adding a fireplace to a new room or replacing an outdated unit, our licensed gas fitters deliver safe, clean, and code-compliant installations.
Transform Your Living Space with Expert Fireplace Installation
Gas fireplaces don’t just heat your home—they create ambiance, increase property value, and reduce heating costs. We help you select the right style (insert, built-in, or wall-mounted), fuel type (natural gas or propane), and venting (direct-vent or ventless) based on your space and preferences.
We install fireplaces in:
- Living rooms
- Bedrooms
- Basements
- Outdoor patios
- Commercial spaces
What Do You Need to Know Before Installing a Gas Fireplace?
Before investing in a gas fireplace, homeowners often have important questions like:
- Can I install a gas fireplace in a condo or basement? → Yes. Many models are suitable for lower levels or smaller spaces, provided proper ventilation is available.
- Do I need a chimney or flue for a gas fireplace? → Not necessarily. We install direct-vent and ventless models that don’t require a traditional chimney.
- How is a gas fireplace installed in a home that doesn’t already have one? → We evaluate your space and install new gas lines, framing, and venting from scratch.
- What’s the difference between vented, ventless, and direct-vent fireplaces? → Ventless models exhaust indoors (not recommended in tight spaces), while direct-vent models are the safest and most common in BC homes.
- Can I control my fireplace with a remote or thermostat? → Yes. Most modern models include or can be upgraded with remote controls, wall switches, and smart thermostats.
- Will this increase my home’s value? → Absolutely. Professionally installed gas fireplaces are a top feature for resale in Burnaby real estate.
Our technicians walk you through every step—from brand selection to city code compliance—to make sure you choose the right unit for your home.
