Fireplace Services: Gas Fireplace Installation & Repair

Whether you’re looking to install a modern gas fireplace, upgrade a wood-burning hearth, or repair an existing system, you need a fireplace architect who understands the critical connection between the flame and the flue.

Why Professional Installation Matters

One Company. One Installation. Zero Coordination Stress.

The biggest headache in fireplace projects is coordinating between different trades. When the gas technician doesn’t talk to the chimney specialist, mistakes happen. At Chimneyz, our Chimney-Trained Fireplace Specialists manage every technical detail under one roof. We provide comprehensive fireplace solutions that blend safety, efficiency, and aesthetic beauty. Unlike general contractors who sub out the gas lines or the masonry, we own the entire process.

From the initial gas line installation to the final masonry surround and liner connection, we ensure your fireplace is a masterpiece of engineering and design. Our expertise covers all fireplace types and systems, including specialized Direct-vent and B-vent gas systems, wood-burning inserts, and custom outdoor fire features designed for the Washington climate. We handle everything from the firebox to the gas valves.

A fireplace project is a significant investment in your home’s value, often ranging from $3,500 to over $15,000. We ensure that investment is safe, code-compliant, and built to last. Whether you need a full masonry hearth restoration or a surround remodel with custom stone and brick, we manage the timeline and the warranty. You deal with one contractor for the gas line, firebox, surround, liner, and chimney.

FAQ

Fireplace Installation & Repair FAQ

Choosing or repairing a fireplace involves technical safety requirements. Here are the answers to help you plan your hearth project.

What is the difference between a gas insert and a gas fireplace?

A gas insert is designed to be installed inside an existing wood-burning masonry fireplace. A gas fireplace is a self-contained unit that can be built into a new wall or a home that never had a chimney.

Can I change my wood-burning fireplace to a gas fireplace?

Yes. This is a very common upgrade. We install the gas line, the high-efficiency unit, and the necessary venting system through your existing chimney to give you heat at the touch of a button.

Why should I hire Chimneyz instead of a general contractor?

Fireplaces require specialized knowledge of venting and clearances. General contractors often hire multiple subs who don’t understand chimney mechanics. We handle the entire engineering and masonry scope ourselves.

How long does a fireplace installation take?

Most fireplace installations take between 2 to 4 days, depending on whether we are running new gas lines or performing custom masonry work on the fireplace surround.

Are gas fireplaces safe for my indoor air quality?

Yes. Modern Direct-vent gas fireplaces are completely sealed systems. They draw air from outside and exhaust all combustion byproducts back outside, keeping your indoor air clean and safe.
