“Our furnace quit during a brutal cold snap and they had a tech here by midnight. Heat was restored before the kids woke up. Absolutely lifesaving service.”
Expert Gas & Electric Fireplace Installation
Lakeshore Heating & Cooling: That drafty, inefficient wood fireplace from the seventies is costing you heat every winter. We replace aging units with sealed direct-vent gas fireplaces and high-efficiency inserts that actually warm the room, burn cleanly, and pass inspection without a chorus of callbacks.
Tired of a dated brick wall that heats nothing?
A direct-vent gas fireplace or sealed insert can turn that cold room into the warmest one in the house, efficiently and safely.
We Find Out What Your Wall Allows
Before you fall for a fireplace, we check what is behind the drywall, what the gas line can carry, and where a vent can terminate. Fast answers before you commit.
Winter-Ready Fireplaces, Checked Before the Cold
Book a pre-season check and we inspect the pilot assembly, thermocouple, and venting before the first hard freeze arrives. Ten minutes of prevention beats a cold living room in January.
Code Compliance Without the Runaround
Ontario fireplace installs touch gas, venting, and clearances, and each has rules. We know the local requirements, file what needs filing, and schedule inspections, so nothing comes back to bite you at resale.
Fireplace Installation in Lakeshore: Common Questions
How much does fireplace installation cost in Ontario?
Ballpark figures mislead people, so we avoid them. An electric unit going into a finished wall is a very different job than a direct-vent gas fireplace needing new venting.
How long does a fireplace installation take?
Same-week is realistic for stocked electric and direct-vent models. Insert swaps into an existing fireplace are quick too. First-time installations with new gas lines take a little longer to schedule.
Should I repair my old fireplace or replace it?
If the firebox is cracked, the frame is rusted through, or parts have dried up, replacement wins. Worn gaskets and tired fans we fix. We quote both paths honestly.
What Lakeshore Homeowners Say
Real feedback from neighbours we've helped stay comfortable year-round.
“We finished a basement bedroom addition and needed heat without ductwork. They recommended a single-zone mini-split, explained sizing clearly, and had it running within the week.”
“Pilot would not stay lit for days. A knowledgeable technician cleaned the flame sensor, explained why it kept shutting off, and we have had steady ignition ever since.”
