Fireplace Installation

It’s essential to vent gas and wood-burning fireplaces due to carbon monoxide production. There are two main venting options:

1. Connecting to an existing chimney ( which restricts placement options).
2. A direct-vent gas fireplace for more flexibility. 

Direct-vent models can be installed in different locations like basements, dens, bedrooms, or patios, provided a technician can create an outlet through a wall or window. 

Electric models don’t require gas lines or chimney venting, making installation easier and allowing placement in nearly any area. However, they produce less heat than gas fireplaces and lack a real flame.

A fireplace insert is a sealed box that fits into an existing masonry fireplace. This upgrade turns an old, inefficient wood fireplace into a modern, high-efficiency option that can use wood, gas, or propane. With this insert, you can enjoy more heat while using less fuel.

Yes, you can install a gas fireplace on an interior wall as long as you have access to the necessary outlet. You’ll need a balanced flue system that vents through the ceiling, rises through upper rooms, and exits through the roof. A false chimney breast is often used to integrate this setup smoothly.

With a balanced flue, you can achieve the look of an open gas fireplace that resembles a traditional solid fuel-burning fire. This is great for those who love the classic appearance but don’t have an existing chimney breast.

Yes! Modern technology allows you to install fireplaces in almost any room of your home. Just because your house didn’t have one doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a fireplace.

Modern gas fireplaces are much more efficient than before. Gas fireplaces or gas inserts are generally the most efficient, followed by pellet or wood inserts and high-efficiency wood fireplaces.

Absolutely! Gas fireplaces are efficient at warming a room or designated area. They deliver steady and adjustable heat, letting you set the temperature to your liking. Some models are built to heat large spaces, while others work well in smaller environments.

In Windsor, the average cost of a gas fireplace depends on the model and installation needs, typically ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 in total.
