Gas Fireplace Installation
We install modern gas fireplaces for residential and commercial properties, ideal for spaces where traditional wood fireplaces are impractical. Our solutions include see-through, multi-sided, and compact designs for windows, televisions, or tight corners. Gas fireplaces offer instant on/off control, eliminating the need for manual fire management while providing efficient heating.
WETT Reports
Our certified technicians conduct Wood Energy Technology Transfer (WETT) inspections to ensure wood-burning appliances meet Canadian safety standards. This service is critical for insurance compliance and property sales, verifying proper installation, functionality, and safety of stoves, fireplaces, and chimneys.
Gas Line Installations
We install and repair gas lines for residential and commercial applications, including BBQs, furnaces, pool heaters, and cooktops. Our licensed gas fitters ensure safe, code-compliant installations for above-ground and underground lines, prioritizing durability and leak prevention.
