Gas fireplace installation & service in Surrey
A gas fireplace is heat at the flick of a switch, with none of the wood, smoke or ash. We install new fireplaces and inserts, convert old wood-burners, and service the ones that won't stay lit.

Installed, pressure-tested, lit
We run the line, pressure-test it, connect the appliance, check for leaks and make sure it lights and runs right.
Can you convert my wood fireplace to gas?
Usually, yes, with a gas insert that sits in the existing firebox and vents through a new liner in the chimney. We check the chimney and the gas supply first.
How often should a gas fireplace be serviced?
Every one to two years. Servicing keeps the glass clean, the pilot reliable and the venting safe, and FortisBC pays part of it back through its maintenance rebate.
Do gas fireplaces need a permit?
Yes. Installing a gas fireplace or insert needs a gas permit through Technical Safety BC. We pull it and book the inspection.
Is a gas fireplace a good heat source?
A direct-vent gas fireplace can heat a living area well and is great during power outages if it has a battery or standing pilot option. It's a nice backup to a heat pump.

“Jas remained professional in his communication, he remained accurate on pricing as well as the step by step process. When he says he will be on site for a certain time, he stands by it.”
“We had a furnace emergency on a freezing weekend … had us back to full heat the same day. Fair pricing, no upselling.”
“I called Jas and one hour later he was at my house and started right away fixing the AC. Within 30 minutes my AC was back on.”
