Once you’ve noticed that your fireplace isn’t working the way that it used to, it’s time to contact one of the repair pros like Expert Gas Fireplace Service & Repair.
As soon as we heard noises from our fireplace’s ignition, we decided to book an appointment to have it checked immediately. Good thing someone from their team is always ready to answer the calls.
We really felt valued as they’re equally responsive when we sent them a text. And if you’re a fan of email exchanges, we’re quite sure that you’ll get a quick revert too!
During the actual repair day, we’re a bit anxious when we saw the three big repair guys approaching our door. But we appreciated how they greeted us nicely before presenting their licenses before entering.
Before assessing our fireplace, we loved how one of the guys asked us about our recent experiences first. After carefully listening, we liked how the technician checked it and walked us through what was wrong—no jargon, just a straightforward explanation.
They also fixed up the fireplace faster than we expected. We were initially informed that it could take a few days before we could use it again, but we’re so glad that they got it up and running on the same day!
Oh, and if you have more than two fireplaces at home, you’ll love that you can have them serviced at a discounted rate.
Very knowledgeable
“Very good work, courteous, fair and very knowledgeable. He came and did fireplace servicing for us and it feels like our fireplace is working much more efficiently and directing more heat into the room instead of up the chimney!”

Nation Gas Fireplace Repair Service is another fireplace repair company we’ve got on our speed dial. You’ll be equally amazed that they’re open even on weekends, so they’re a pretty good option for the busy people out there!
Found your fireplace acting up during the height of winter? Well, we’re glad to share that this repair company accommodates same-day services too, so you won’t have to worry about bundling up from day to night.
We’re impressed that the technicians are familiar with all the repair issues related to the fireplace and the other heating divisions at home.
Their technicians even walk you through the least common signs that you should also watch out for so you can call them up immediately for a preventative maintenance schedule.
Moreover, we also loved it when we saw that they brought a large toolbox. It’s great to see that they’re always ready to fix simple to complex fireplace issues—they didn’t even borrow our tools at home, which some repair services do.
We also thought that the repair guys would leave as soon as they fixed our fireplace’s issue, but we’re surprised that they even took the time to clean it! Yes, we know that you’re thinking about being charged for it, but no—it’s free!

The best part about Kirkstone Heating & Cooling is that you can make the most of their visit and let them check your cooling systems too! Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
Now, if you aren’t too familiar with the common signs of a faulty fireplace, just watch out for gas leaks, strange noises from the ignition, or even a foul smell similar to a rotten egg.
There’s a great chance that your fireplace is about to give up on you, and we don’t want that, especially during winter, so it’s best to call the pros before it gets worse.
Got an old fireplace that didn’t work for years? Well, you’ll love that their repair guys can still diagnose the issue for you.
They even spotted a few other concerns that the other service providers totally missed. Before reaching out to them, we thought our fireplace would end up nothing but decor, but they managed to breathe a new life into it!
You’ll also love that these technicians won’t leave your place without giving you tips on how to keep your heating system more efficient, especially after being repaired.

When we found out that Efficient Heating Service can repair and install a new fireplace at home, we thought why not get our faulty fireplace fixed, while we get a new one installed, all in one go.
Right from the start, we loved how they’re easy to communicate with. When we were speaking on the phone, they were clear about their process, and even included an initial cost breakdown for the repair.
We were about to cancel our appointment as we found their rates a bit costly. But to our surprise, they asked us for the best quotation that we got from the other service providers so they could match it instead—and they did!
Meanwhile, when they arrived at our place, we noticed that the repair guys thoroughly inspected the fireplace first.
You’ll surely love that this repair company doesn’t go straight to repair without doing a comprehensive diagnosis, even if it means that they need to postpone the repair to another day.
And if you’re at home during the repair, the technicians will even show you that they only use new replacement parts. These manufactured parts are even sealed, so you’re sure that they don’t recycle semi-used parts on your fireplace.
They’re also open 24/7, so if you suddenly encounter fireplace issues on the coldest time of the year, you know who to call!
Still accommodates minor repairs
“Daniel came out on an emergency call. I had had a quote of $700 from another company and they didn’t have parts or know what the problem was. Daniel came and fixed loose wiring and got it working in less than 10 minutes for just the price of a call out! Thank you for being honest and fast and efficient!! I highly recommend this company and Daniel in particular.”

When we called Eaton’s Gas Fireplace Repair Service to book an appointment, we loved how we spoke to a friendly and courteous staff. They immediately checked the calendar and booked us the following day.
We liked that the technicians arrived right on time. So if you’re in a rush, you’ll appreciate that these guys can fix minor issues in under an hour!
Soon after diagnosis, the technician made sure to align the solutions with us first. And while he walked us through the repair process, he also took the time to point out how to care for a newly repaired fireplace.
Meanwhile, when we noticed that some paint had chipped off from the back wall, we’re pleased that the repair guys voluntarily painted it black, making our fireplace look like it’s new!
Just a quick tip: before the technicians leave your place, make sure to ask them about their current maintenance promotion as they don’t normally share this upon booking.
While it varies from time to time, you can have them inspect, clean, and tune up your fireplace at a discounted rate, making your heating system less prone to repairs!
And if your gas consumption’s from FortisBC, you can also take advantage of their $25 rebate whenever you avail of a repair service. Just connect with Eaton’s Gas Fireplace Repair Service so they can directly assist you.
Provides quick repair solutions
“I contacted Eaton because my gas fireplace wasn’t working and they were highly rated on Google. Sean – the service person – arrived promptly (a bit early in fact which meant we still had most of our day free). The fireplace was quite a bit older so he recommended replacing the main components but when we said we couldn’t justify doing it at this time, he said “ok I want you to have a working fireplace” and he changed out the switch, cleaned the screen and it was up and running! Although we will have to do a more major replacement in the future we only spent $210 to have it up and running and can defer the major work until later. I really appreciated him providing us with options. I would definitely recommend Eaton, and specifically Sean.”
