Fireplace conversions
Change the way your fireplace burns.
If your fireplace is more work than you want, or just isn't being used, it can be converted. We'll look at the fireplace and the chimney and tell you which options fit.
Gas to electric
An electric fireplace in place of an older gas unit. It needs no vent and no gas line, and it can run with or without heat.
- No venting needed
- Flame with or without heat
- Simple to live with
Keep it wood-burning
Nothing replaces a real wood fire. A high-efficiency wood insert and a properly sized liner give you far more heat from the same fireplace.
- Real wood fire
- Much more heat into the room
- Sized stainless liner

FAQ
Fireplace questions.
Anything else, ask us when you book.
01Can any wood-burning fireplace be converted to gas?
Most can. It depends on the size of the firebox, the condition of the chimney, and whether a gas line can reach the fireplace. We check all three before recommending it.
02Why does my fireplace smoke into the room?
The common causes are a dirty or blocked flue, a damper that isn't fully open, a cold flue that needs warming before the fire is lit, or a house that's sealed so tightly the chimney can't pull enough air. We check each one.
03Why does my fireplace smell, especially when it rains?
Creosote and soot in the flue smell stronger when they get damp, and air moving down the chimney carries the smell into the house. A sweep, a cap, and a tight-sealing damper usually solve it.
04Can I use my fireplace during a burn ban?
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency calls burn bans when air quality is poor, and they restrict the use of fireplaces and wood stoves unless wood is your only adequate source of heat. Check the agency's current status before lighting a fire.
05What should I burn?
Dry, seasoned firewood, split and stored under cover for at least six months to a year. Wet wood, trash, and treated lumber make more smoke and far more creosote.
