Fireplace Replacement for Burnaby homes

Mild and coastal, though Burnaby Mountain and Capitol Hill sit high enough to hold snow and run several degrees colder than the valley floor around Metrotown. Dense and vertical near Metrotown and Brentwood, with substantial stock of post-war bungalows and 1960s–80s homes through Capitol Hill, Burnaby Heights and Edmonds. When we quote a replacement in Burnaby, those conditions decide the specification.

Our Surrey showroom has working fireplaces on display. Choosing one from a photograph is guesswork; seeing the flame and feeling the heat is not.

Our process

How replacement works

  1. Honest assessment

    We start by telling you whether replacement is genuinely warranted. If a repair makes better sense, we say so.

  2. Options and rebates

    You get more than one option at different price points, with available rebates applied to each.

  3. Removal and disposal

    The old equipment comes out and is disposed of properly — that is included, not an extra line.

  4. Installation and commissioning

    New system installed to spec, permitted, tested under load and handed over working.

Local knowledge

What we watch for in Burnaby

Mild and coastal, though Burnaby Mountain and Capitol Hill sit high enough to hold snow and run several degrees colder than the valley floor around Metrotown.

  • A large share of Burnaby work is in stratas. Exterior condenser placement, noise limits and building envelope penetrations all need strata sign-off — we've done this often enough to know what the councils ask for.
  • Older Capitol Hill and Heights homes commonly have no existing ductwork, which makes a ductless mini-split the practical route to cooling without tearing up finished ceilings.
  • Elevation matters here: a system sized for Metrotown may be short on capacity for a home partway up Burnaby Mountain.

The City of Burnaby issues mechanical and building permits; gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC. Strata buildings may require separate approval, which we help coordinate.
