❓ FAQ: Gas Fireplace Installation Burnaby
Do I need a permit for a gas fireplace installation in Burnaby?
Requirements depend on the scope of gas piping changes and venting work. We plan the job for code compliance and explain what applies to your setup.
How do I choose between an insert and a full unit?
Inserts work when you already have a suitable opening. A full unit fits renovations or new framing.
The best option depends on the vent route, space layout, and the look you want.
Why does venting affect price so much?
Venting is a major safety and performance factor. Length, elbows, termination placement, and clearances change parts and labour.
A clean, planned route keeps the install predictable.
Can you install a gas fireplace if I only have propane?
Yes. Many models support propane when configured correctly. We verify fuel setup, pressures, and safe operation during commissioning.
How do I keep the new fireplace reliable?
Book annual service, keep the area clean, and avoid changing log placement.
For maintenance, use Gas Fireplace Service Burnaby.
Do you remove the old unit?
Removal depends on the existing fireplace type and access. We confirm removal scope during the assessment so the job stays clean and predictable.
