Why Fireplace Insert Installation matters in the GTA
An open masonry fireplace is roughly 10% efficient. A modern insert is 70–80%. The upgrade pays for itself in 4–7 winters through fuel savings alone.
Toronto's older housing stock is full of oversized masonry fireplaces begging for an insert. We size and reline; you get an appliance that actually heats the room.
What the visit looks like
Size the opening and appliance, run new gas line or check existing one, reline the chimney to the appliance's specs, drop in the insert, install custom faceplate, seal and finish, first-fire demo and paperwork.

Electric insert: $2,800–$3,600. Wood or pellet insert: $3,800–$5,400. Direct-vent gas insert: $4,200–$6,800.

What Toronto homeowners say
"Booked a sweep and WETT inspection before winter. Crew arrived on time, laid down drop cloths, and walked me through the report photo by photo. Fixed pricing, no upsell — exactly what was quoted."
— Sarah M.
"Cracked clay liner in our 1962 fireplace. They installed a stainless liner and new cap in one day and the draft is perfect. Warranty paperwork emailed the same evening."
— David R.
"Called for a raccoon in the flue. They removed it humanely, sanitized the smoke chamber, and installed a stainless cap. Fair price, no drama, and they even followed up a week later."
— Priya S.
