Planning a gas fireplace installation? The right setup depends on your venting, gas supply, and whether it is a new spot or a retrofit.

Which fix fits your situation?

If you have an existing wood fireplace, a gas insert drops in and vents through the chimney — fastest and cleanest.

If it is a brand-new location, you may need direct-vent or a gas line run; the trade-off is more labor up front for placement freedom.

If you are not sure what fits, a free in-home estimate sizes and quotes it.

Not sure? Call and a tech will point you the right way before any truck rolls.

“Our cap blew off in a storm and they were out the next morning. Clean, on time, and a good bit cheaper than the first quote I got. They left zero mess.”

— Robert P., Minneapolis, MN
