Florida Master Qualifying LP License

Unlimited Hot Water

Never run out of hot water. Multiple showers, laundry, and dishes happening at once? No problem. Your supply is truly endless.

Energy-efficient zone heating

Direct-vent models reach 70%+ efficiency. Heat the room you’re in — not the whole house — and lower your energy bills.

Safe, code-compliant installation

Every job is performed by licensed professionals with full Florida LP certification — so you can relax knowing it’s done right.

Increases home resale value

A beautifully installed gas fireplace is among the most sought-after features for buyers — a lasting investment in your property.

What We Do

Every fireplace need, covered.

Tankless systems represent the future of residential and commercial water heating, combining cutting-edge efficiency with unmatched convenience.

New Installations

We install vented, direct-vent, and vent-free gas fireplaces. Our team handles gas line runs, framing coordination, and finish trim — everything from rough-in to that first beautiful flame.

Wood-to-Gas Conversions

Transform your existing wood-burning fireplace into a gas-powered centerpiece. We install gas log sets or full inserts into your firebox — no chimney work needed in many cases.

Repair & Service

Pilot won’t stay lit? Yellow flames? Strange odors? Our technicians diagnose and repair all gas fireplace issues quickly — restoring safe, reliable performance.

Annual Inspections

We recommend yearly pre-season checkups: burner and pilot inspection, glass cleaning, gas connection leak test, and vent system verification. Safety and performance, confirmed.

Direct-Vent Systems

No existing chimney? No problem. Direct-vent units use a sealed two-pipe system vented through an exterior wall — opening up fireplace possibilities in virtually any room.

Vent-Free Models

Maximum placement flexibility with nearly 100% heating efficiency. Vent-free fireplaces require no chimney or vent pipe and are ideal for supplemental zone heating in any room.

Safety First

When to call immediately.

A gas fireplace that isn’t performing correctly isn’t just an inconvenience — it can be a safety concern. Don’t wait. Contact us if you notice any of these warning signs.

• Pilot light won’t stay lit or requires repeated ignition attempts

• Flames appear yellow or orange instead of a healthy blue at the base

• Soot buildup on the glass, logs, or inside the firebox

• Persistent gas odor when the fireplace is on or off

• Fireplace is producing noticeably less heat than before

• Remote control or thermostat not responding correctly

• Unit has not been professionally inspected in more than a year

What’s the difference between vented and vent-free?

A vented gas fireplace uses a flue or direct-vent pipe to exhaust combustion gases outside — it produces a larger, more realistic flame and is the preferred choice for aesthetics. A vent-free fireplace burns so efficiently that no external venting is needed, giving you complete flexibility in placement. Both are safe when installed by a licensed professional.

Can you convert my wood-burning fireplace to gas?

Absolutely — it’s one of our most popular services. We install a gas log set or gas insert directly into your existing firebox and connect it to your home’s gas supply. The result is a beautiful, low-maintenance flame at the touch of a button, with no more wood, ash, or creosote.

Do gas fireplaces require a chimney?

Not necessarily. Vent-free models require no chimney at all. Direct-vent models use a sealed two-pipe system routed through an exterior wall — no traditional chimney required. This makes gas fireplaces viable for rooms or homes without an existing chimney.

Are gas fireplaces energy efficient?

Significantly more so than wood-burning fireplaces, which can actually lose heat up the chimney. Direct-vent gas fireplaces achieve efficiency ratings of 70% or higher. Vent-free models retain virtually all generated heat in the room — making them an excellent zone-heating tool.

How often should my gas fireplace be serviced?

We recommend an annual inspection and cleaning before the start of each heating season. A service visit covers the burner and pilot assembly, glass and log cleaning, gas connection leak check, and vent system verification. Regular maintenance keeps your fireplace safe, efficient, and looking its best.

Can a gas fireplace heat my whole house?

A gas fireplace works best as a zone-heating solution — efficiently warming the room where it’s located. It can meaningfully reduce demand on your central heating system and lower energy bills, but it isn’t designed to be the sole heat source for an entire home.
