Explore Our Diverse Fireplace Types

Our extensive selection includes various fireplace options, each offering distinct advantages in terms of performance, aesthetics, and convenience. We guide you through the features of each type to help you determine which best aligns with your needs.

Gas Fireplaces

Gas fireplaces offer unparalleled convenience and efficiency. Available in natural gas or propane models, they provide instant warmth with the flip of a switch, often without the need for a chimney. They are a clean-burning option, requiring minimal maintenance.

• Direct-Vent Gas Fireplaces: These are highly efficient, drawing combustion air from outside and expelling exhaust outdoors through a sealed system, making them suitable for virtually any room.
• B-Vent Gas Fireplaces: These vent through a vertical flue, similar to a traditional chimney, and are often chosen for their aesthetic resemblance to wood-burning units.
• Vent-Free Gas Fireplaces: These operate without a vent, drawing air from the room and expelling all combustion products into the living space. While highly efficient, their use is often limited by local codes and indoor air quality considerations.
• Gas Fireplace Inserts: Designed to fit into existing masonry fireplaces, inserts convert your inefficient wood-burning fireplace into a clean, convenient gas heating source.
• Gas Stoves: Freestanding units that offer the rustic charm of a wood stove with the ease and efficiency of gas, ideal for zone heating.

Wood-Burning Fireplaces

For those who cherish the authentic crackle and aroma of a real fire, wood-burning fireplaces provide unmatched ambiance and robust heating. While they require more maintenance and a steady supply of wood, the experience they offer is timeless.

• Traditional Wood-Burning Fireplaces: These classic units provide the quintessential fireplace experience, often serving as a central feature in a home.
• High-Efficiency Wood Inserts: These are designed to be installed into existing masonry fireplaces, significantly increasing their heating efficiency and reducing emissions compared to traditional open hearths.
• Wood Stoves: Freestanding units that are highly efficient at radiating heat, making them an excellent choice for primary or supplemental heating in various room sizes.

Electric Fireplaces

Electric fireplaces offer the ultimate in flexibility and ease of installation. They require no venting, gas lines, or chimneys, making them suitable for apartments, condominiums, or any room where traditional fireplaces aren't feasible. They primarily provide ambiance and supplemental heat.

• Electric Fireplace Inserts: These can be placed into existing fireplace openings or custom surrounds, transforming the space without structural modifications.
• Wall-Mounted Electric Fireplaces: Sleek and modern, these units hang directly on the wall, often resembling flat-screen televisions and adding a contemporary touch.
• Freestanding Electric Fireplaces: These portable units can be placed anywhere with an electrical outlet, offering warmth and charm without permanent installation.

Choosing Your Ideal Fireplace: A Saskatoon Buyer's Guide

Selecting the right fireplace involves considering several factors specific to your home and preferences. Our experts provide personalized guidance to help you navigate these choices.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Fireplace

• Heating Needs: Determine if the fireplace is for supplemental heating, zone heating, or primarily for ambiance. BTU output, room size, and insulation are key considerations.
• Home Aesthetics & Style: Consider how the fireplace will integrate with your existing décor. Options range from modern and minimalist to traditional and rustic.
• Fuel Type & Availability: Assess the practicality of natural gas, propane, or wood for your location and lifestyle. Electric offers the most flexibility.
• Venting Requirements: Gas and wood-burning fireplaces require specific venting systems. Electric fireplaces do not need venting.
• Installation Considerations: Understand the structural and utility requirements for each type. Professional installation is crucial for safety and performance.
• Budget & Running Costs: Beyond the initial purchase and installation, consider the ongoing fuel costs and maintenance requirements for each fireplace type.

When is the Best Time to Buy a Fireplace?

While fireplaces can be purchased and installed year-round, planning ahead can offer advantages. Off-peak seasons, typically late spring or summer, often allow for more flexible installation scheduling and potential promotions. However, demand tends to rise in the fall as cooler weather approaches. Regardless of the season, we strive to provide timely service and competitive options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are gas fireplaces safe?

‍Yes, when properly installed and maintained by certified professionals, gas fireplaces are very safe. They feature safety mechanisms such as automatic shut-offs and sealed combustion systems (in direct-vent models) to ensure safe operation. Regular maintenance helps ensure these safety features function correctly.

How much does a fireplace cost to operate?

‍Operating costs vary significantly based on the fuel type, the unit's efficiency, local fuel prices, and how often it's used. Electric fireplaces generally have lower initial installation costs but can be more expensive to operate for heat compared to gas, while wood-burning costs depend on wood availability and price.

Can I put a TV above my fireplace?
