Gas Fireplaces — Sales & Installation in Victoria

Efficient, Stylish & Professionally Installed in Victoria

Bring comfort and style into your home with a gas fireplace — a cozy centerpiece for family gatherings, an efficient way to heat your space, and reliable warmth during power outages, all at the touch of a button. But buying a fireplace isn’t like buying an appliance. For most it’s a once-or-twice-in-a-lifetime purchase that lives at the center of your home, and the right choice depends on your room, your heating needs, and the look you’re trying to achieve. That’s why we start by listening. With over 25 years of experience helping Greater Victoria homeowners, we’ll guide you to the unit that actually fits the criteria that matter to you.

Every Gas Fireplace Backed by a 10-Year Parts & Labour Warranty

Ten years extended parts and labour, on the mechanical and electrical components that make your fireplace run — the gas valve, the ignition, the fan, the brains. Included with every gas fireplace we sell and install. Cosmetic pieces like glass, logs, and remotes aren’t covered, but the parts that keep you warm are.

See It Burning Before You Buy

Photos don’t tell you how a flame looks in person, how much heat comes off the glass, or how a unit sounds. Our Central Saanich showroom has working displays so you can compare them side by side, with staff who install and service these units — not just sell them. Come in with questions; leave knowing exactly what you’re getting.

Locally Made on Vancouver Island

Different Types of Gas Fireplaces

Not every home is the same, and neither is every gas fireplace. That’s why we’ve outlined the three main types below — built-in fireplaces, inserts, and freestanding stoves. This way, you can quickly see which option works best for your home.

Built-in Gas Fireplaces

Built-in propane and natural gas fireplaces offer endless possibilities in terms of shape, size, and style, ranging from modern to traditional designs. Although these “Zero Clearance” fireplaces still have clearance rules to follow, they are built into walls and often installed during home construction. Alternatively, you can also add them later with some framing, drywall, and finishing.

Once installed, you usually tile or stone in built-in fireplaces, and removing them requires removing the finishing as well. These fireplaces have the largest heat and price range. They can be very small or very large, with most installations falling in between.

Compared to a fireplace insert or stove, a built-in fireplace unit requires a more significant installation process. It is often part of a larger home improvement project. Furthermore, after installation, finishing work such as painting, tiling, or stonework is still necessary. While built-in installs typically take one day, they can occasionally require two days, and there is still finishing work to be done once the fireplace is fully installed.

Gas Fireplace Inserts

Upgrade your existing wood fireplace to a cleaner and more efficient gas fireplace with a propane or natural gas fireplace insert. These inserts fit into an existing wood fireplace opening, making installation relatively straightforward. Additionally, the new venting uses the existing chimney, eliminating the need for extensive renovation. Consequently, the heat output is far superior to any open-burning masonry fireplace.

By using a gas fireplace insert, you can seal up your inefficient masonry fireplace and stop drafts while adding a powerful and efficient heat source. Moreover, these inserts are cost-effective and help maintain a beautiful ambiance, even when not in use.

Gas fireplace inserts heat your home during the colder months and help cool it down during the summer by sealing off the fireplace opening. Most installations are completed in just one day, making it a quick and easy process to upgrade your fireplace.

Freestanding Gas Stoves

Gas stoves, also known as freestanding fireplaces, add warmth and coziness to your home with minimal mess and minor loss of floor space. Furthermore, these units offer extreme flexibility in venting, often providing multiple options for each unit. For instance, you can vent them up old wood stove chimneys, directly out an outside wall, or up through the attic and roof.

In addition, from extremely modern to traditional, gas stoves come in a wide range of styles to suit any taste. They are an easy and versatile option to add to an already finished home. Moreover, most gas stove installations can be completed in just one day.

How to Maintain a Gas Fireplace?

Like any heating appliance, a gas fireplace works best when it’s properly maintained. Regular servicing keeps your unit safe, efficient, and ready to perform when you need it most.

What’s included in a typical service:

• Annual inspection and cleaning by a certified gas technician
• Fan and filter checks for models with built-in blowers
• Vent inspections to ensure there are no blockages or wear
• Testing of flame sensors, thermocouples, ignition controls & safeties

With routine care, a gas fireplace can provide reliable heat for 15–20 years or longer. At Pacific Fireplaces, our certified technicians provide scheduled maintenance services across Victoria to help protect your investment and extend its lifespan.
