Gas fireplace installation & wood-to-gas conversion in Metro Vancouver

Beyond repairs and servicing, CANRO installs new gas fireplaces and converts tired wood-burning units to clean, controllable gas heat. The right choice depends on your home: a gas insert drops into an existing masonry fireplace (ideal for the older bungalows of Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster), a built-in / zero-clearance unit is framed into a new wall for condos, townhomes and renovations, and a direct-vent design seals combustion from the room — the safest, most efficient option for the airtight homes built to today’s BC Energy Step Code.

  • Wood-to-gas conversion — we run the gas line, fit an insert and proper liner, and cap the chimney; no more hauling wood or cleaning ash.
  • Correct sizing & placement — a fireplace sized to the room heats evenly instead of overpowering a small condo or under-serving an open-plan main floor.
  • Gas line & venting — we confirm gas supply, size the line for the appliance, and route direct-vent terminations clear of windows and walkways per code.
  • TSBC permit & inspection — every installation is permitted under our gas licence LGA0043870 and signed off by a licensed inspector.

Why annual gas fireplace servicing matters on the coast

Metro Vancouver’s damp, mild climate is hard on gas fireplaces: moisture corrodes vent terminations, pilots and thermopiles weaken, and glass gaskets degrade. A yearly service before heating season keeps the unit safe and efficient and protects the manufacturer warranty. A CANRO service covers combustion and pilot/thermopile testing, burner and ember-media cleaning, glass and gasket inspection, vent-terminal and condensation checks, and confirmation that the oxygen-depletion sensor and gas pressure are within spec. Pair it with our heat pump or furnace service for whole-home peace of mind, and ask about rebates on a high-efficiency upgrade.

  • Safety first — we check for carbon-monoxide risks, venting blockages and gasket leaks that a quick glance misses.
  • Efficiency — a clean burner and tuned pilot mean lower gas bills and a brighter, steadier flame.
  • Warranty protection — documented annual service keeps manufacturer coverage valid.

“Five stars for Canro. We needed a replacement of a 30-year-old boiler. A new high-efficiency unit was installed—clean, professional work.”

Frequently asked questions

My gas fireplace won’t light—can you fix it?
Yes—weak flame, pilot drop-out and ignition faults are common and usually quick to fix. Our licensed gas-fitters diagnose and repair them safely.
Do gas fireplaces need annual servicing?
Yes—an annual service and safety inspection keeps the burn clean, the glass clear and confirms there are no gas or CO concerns.
Are your fireplace technicians licensed?
Yes—all gas work is performed by TSBC-licensed gas-fitters, fully insured and WorkSafeBC covered.
How much does it cost to install a gas fireplace in Metro Vancouver?
Most installations land between roughly $3,500 and $8,000+ depending on whether it is an insert or a built-in unit, how far the gas line must run, the venting route, and any finishing work. A wood-to-gas conversion that reuses a sound chimney sits toward the lower end. Every CANRO quote is free, written and itemized, and includes the TSBC permit and inspection — call (604) 359-1081 for an in-home assessment.
Do I need a permit for a gas fireplace in BC, and can I install it myself?
Yes to the permit, and no to DIY. Installing or converting a gas fireplace in BC requires a Technical Safety BC gas permit and a licensed gas fitter — unpermitted gas work is illegal, voids your home insurance and the appliance warranty, and is a real carbon-monoxide risk. CANRO holds gas licence LGA0043870 and handles the permit, installation and inspection as one job, so it is done safely and to code.
