Benefits of a Gas Fireplace

Gas fireplaces are one of the most popular home upgrades in the Lower Mainland for good reason. They combine the visual appeal of a traditional fireplace with the convenience of modern gas heating.

Advantages include:

Instant heat with the push of a button
No chopping, hauling, or storing firewood
Cleaner air with fewer emissions
Modern designs to match any décor
Lower heating costs when used for zone heating

By heating the rooms you use most, you can reduce your reliance on central heating, improve comfort, and lower energy bills.

Whether you are adding a fireplace for the first time or replacing an existing unit, we make the process smooth and hassle-free.

Our services include:

Gas insert installation for existing wood fireplaces

Annual Fireplace Maintenance Keeps You Safe and Warm

Like any heating system, your gas fireplace should be serviced once a year to ensure safe and efficient operation. Dust buildup, blocked vents, or worn components can reduce performance and pose safety risks.

Our maintenance service includes:

Cleaning the burner, pilot light, and glass
Checking for gas leaks or unusual odors
Inspecting the thermocouple and thermopile
Testing ignition and flame quality

Routine service helps extend the lifespan of your fireplace, improve efficiency, and maintain indoor air quality.

Signs Your Fireplace Needs Servicing

Schedule a professional inspection if you notice:

Delayed ignition or trouble starting
Yellow or uneven flame instead of steady blue
Soot buildup on glass or nearby walls
Persistent gas smell or unusual odors
Noises during operation
Cold drafts coming from the fireplace

Addressing issues early prevents costly repairs and keeps your fireplace safe to use.

Energy Efficiency You Can Feel

A properly installed and well-maintained gas fireplace can reduce your energy use by heating only the rooms you use most. This zone heating method helps lower utility bills without sacrificing comfort. Many of our ENERGY STAR® certified models may also qualify for rebates or incentives.
