We Install & Build Masonry & Prefabricated Fireplaces
There are two types of fireplaces you could incorporate into your home – masonry or prefabricated. A masonry system is built on-site, brick by brick, while a prefab one is assembled from a kit and can be set up in a day. We’d be happy to discuss which option would better suit your needs, but many homeowners nowadays are taking the prefab route, as installation is a lot quicker and less expensive.
The downside of most traditional fireplace setups, prefab or masonry, is that they’re known to lose a lot of heat and won’t serve well as the primary heating source for homeowners. If you’re looking to use your system a lot during the winter, in hopes of keeping your heating bills in check, an insert or stove may be the more optimal choice for you.
No matter what system you use, trust is for annual inspections and sweeps – we’ve got your back.
What Are the Most Efficient Fireplace Options?
When deciding between a fireplace, fireplace insert, and heating stove, you may be wondering which would deliver the most in terms of heat and efficiency? Well, the two that win out are definitely inserts and stoves.
- Fireplace inserts are known for their efficiency, and they’re meant to be put inside of an existing fireplace. If you’re looking to switch fuels (for example, converting your wood fireplace into a gas one), having an insert installed is likely going to be your best option for making this transition as smooth and seamless as possible.
- Heating stoves come in a wide range of sizes and styles, and you can choose from various fuel types, as well. Many opt for a stove because they can be placed pretty much anywhere, are known for their efficiency, and can serve as a primary source of heat. They’re also known for being easy to maintain, and finding one that fits your budget shouldn’t be a problem, either – especially when you trust our techs to help you out.
Which Fireplace Fuel Is Best for Me?
Feel confident in the type of appliance you’d like, but aren’t sure which fuel would be most appropriate for your household? We get more into the advantages and disadvantages of each on their specific pages, but here’s a brief rundown. Questions? Give us a call!

- Wood: Wood systems are appealing because they’re known as a more traditional fuel type. Wood also isn’t a hard or expensive fuel to come by, and the way it burns (i.e. the crackling sounds, the classic smells, the cozy aesthetic, etc.) is next to impossible to completely replicate. The down side? They’re a lot more maintenance and will require some cleanup.
- Gas: Gas-fueled appliances are known for burning cleanly and efficiently, and they’re also far less work, stress, and mess than a wood-burning option. No scooping ash, no building up (or putting out) fires, and no messy wood piles. Just hit the switch and you’ve got yourself a cozy living space.
- Pellet: For those who love the look and feel of burning wood, but find the low-maintenance vibes of a gas-burning unit appealing, pellet systems may offer a middle ground option. They burn small pellets, which are automatically dispensed into your unit, which means less work for a more traditional burn. Best of both worlds? We like to think so.
- Electric: No fireplace in your home and not a lot of space to work with? If you have an outlet nearby, an electric fireplace will still work for your setup. Just plug it in and enjoy the heat. Most electric systems are on the lower end in terms of cost, too, and, when it comes time to move house, you can take it with you!
