A gas fireplace adds both supplemental heat and ambiance to a home, and the right unit depends on what you are starting with. Surrey homeowners generally fall into three categories: those replacing an aging gas insert in an existing fireplace opening, those converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas, and those adding a gas fireplace to a wall or room that has never had one. Each scenario involves different venting, gas line, and structural considerations, and Eaton's Heating handles all three.
For homeowners in Newton, Fleetwood, and Fraser Heights with 1990s or 2000s-era gas inserts that are failing or no longer efficient, a modern replacement insert drops into the existing opening with updated venting and controls. These are often the most straightforward installations. South Surrey and Panorama Ridge homes with wood-burning fireplaces that the homeowner wants to convert to gas require a gas insert or log set installation with a new gas line run to the fireplace location, plus appropriate venting modifications. New-construction or renovation projects in Cloverdale, Grandview Heights, and other developing Surrey neighborhoods may involve installing a direct vent gas fireplace into a framed wall with purpose-built venting to the exterior, which offers the most design flexibility.
We are a Regency certified fireplace dealer and install Regency's full lineup of gas inserts and fireplaces. We also install Napoleon's residential series: the Vector for a traditional look with high BTU output, the Altitude for a contemporary linear flame, the Elevation for a clean modern design, and the Ascent Linear for wide panoramic viewing. For homeowners who want to upgrade an existing gas firebox without replacing the entire unit, we install 18-inch and 24-inch gas log sets that provide a realistic flame appearance and supplemental heat with minimal installation complexity.

For Surrey homeowners whose existing gas fireplace needs repair rather than replacement, we provide honest guidance on which option makes more financial sense. We also install furnaces and all other HVAC systems across Surrey.
Gas fireplace installations in Surrey vary significantly by home type and neighbourhood. Larger detached homes in Sullivan, Bear Creek, and Panorama Ridge may want a high-output direct vent unit in the main living area for both ambiance and meaningful supplemental heat during the coldest months. Townhomes in Cloverdale and Guildford often have space constraints that favour compact linear units or inserts designed for tighter clearances. Whalley and Newton homes with existing masonry fireplaces are good candidates for gas insert conversions that preserve the original fireplace opening while eliminating the hassle and mess of wood burning.
Regardless of the installation type, every gas fireplace project requires a Technical Safety BC gas permit and inspection. Eaton's Heating handles all permits and scheduling as part of the installation.

Yes. A direct vent gas fireplace can be installed in most exterior walls with proper venting to the outside. The installation involves framing a fireplace enclosure in the wall, running a gas line to the location, installing the venting system through the exterior wall, and connecting electrical for fans and ignition. Interior walls are also possible but require a longer vent run. We assess feasibility and layout during the free in-home assessment.
A gas insert is designed to fit inside an existing fireplace opening, whether it is a masonry wood-burning fireplace or an older gas firebox. It uses the existing opening and typically vents through a liner up the chimney or directly through the wall. A direct vent fireplace is a standalone sealed unit installed into a framed wall with its own dedicated venting. Direct vent units offer more placement flexibility since they do not need an existing fireplace opening. Both types are sealed combustion systems that draw combustion air from outside and vent exhaust directly outdoors.
No. Modern direct vent gas fireplaces vent horizontally through an exterior wall using a coaxial vent pipe that handles both exhaust and combustion air intake. They do not need a traditional chimney. Gas inserts installed in existing masonry fireplaces can vent through the existing chimney using a flexible liner, or through the wall depending on the model and configuration. We determine the best venting approach for your specific home during the assessment.
Gas fireplace installation in Surrey typically ranges from $3,500 to $8,000 depending on the unit selected, the complexity of the gas line and venting run, and any framing or finishing work required. A straightforward gas insert replacement in an existing opening falls toward the lower end. New installations into walls without an existing fireplace opening involve more labour and materials. Gas log set installations in an existing firebox are the most affordable option. We provide free written estimates with all costs broken down clearly.
We are a Regency certified fireplace dealer with access to their full product lineup. We also install Napoleon's residential series including the Vector, Altitude, Elevation, and Ascent Linear. For simpler upgrades, we install 18-inch and 24-inch gas log sets in existing fireboxes. During the free assessment, we help you select the right unit based on your room size, design preferences, heating needs, and budget.
Most gas fireplace insert replacements are completed in one day. New installations into walls that require framing, gas line runs, and exterior venting typically take one to two days depending on the scope of work. Gas log set installations are usually completed in a few hours. We outline the full timeline in your written estimate so you know what to expect.
