Fireplace Installation and Replacement, Handled Start to Finish
A gas insert turns a drafty Victorian fireplace into dependable backup heat, and St. Marys Heating & Cooling installs and services them for homeowners across the region. Many limestone homes around town still have ornate mantels and old chimneys that need careful venting. We run gas lines to code, vent the unit safely, and protect the heritage details you value.
Want dependable backup heat that fits a heritage home?
We install and service gas fireplaces across Perth County, running gas lines and venting to code so your unit warms the room safely.
Inserts and Free-Standing Units
From direct-vent inserts that fit an existing Victorian mantel to free-standing stoves, we match the fireplace to the room and the look you want, then install it to manufacturer and code spec.
Gas Lines Run to Code
A fireplace is only as safe as its gas line and venting. We run the line, test for leaks, and vent the unit properly, working carefully around old masonry and chimneys.
Dependable Backup Heat
When a winter storm knocks out the power, a gas fireplace keeps one room warm and livable. For many heritage homes without a woodstove, that peace of mind is the whole point.

How long does a fireplace installation take?
