Are you looking to have a fireplace installation in Orangeville? Are you in need of fireplace maintenance or repair? The heating and cooling experts at Hyde Whipp can install, maintain, repair or replace your natural gas, propane & electric fireplaces.

Propane fireplaces offer the same type of safety and convenience over the traditional wood fireplace, that all other gas fireplaces do. But if you do not want to use natural gas to run your fireplace, then a propane fireplace is one of your best alternatives. Propane burns cleaner and is more friendly to the environment than wood, and can be designed to turn off and on easily by switch or remote control. Many people simply do not have access to natural gas, and therefore opt to purchase a propane fireplace that has a sealed combustion chamber, which reduces the amount of heat that escapes when in operation.

Natural gas fireplaces, on the other hand can take advantage of houses that do have natural gas; and since the price of propane is on the rise, they have a distinct economic advantage over the aforementioned version of the fireplace. Natural gas fireplaces can come with a venting system if you have a chimney, and they can come without a venting system if either you don't have a chimney or you simply don't want to use it. Fireplace inserts are also available that are custom made to fit directly into your existing fireplace if you have one, and transform your inefficient, messy wood fireplace into a clean burning natural gas fireplace.

Propane & Gas Fireplace Installation

"Contact us for a Free In-Home Installation quote"

Propane fireplace installation and gas fireplace installation is a very careful and painstaking procedure. There are a wide variety of propane and gas fireplaces that we carry in our show room.

In order for fireplace installation to be safe, either natural gas or propane, you must adhere to local building codes of proper installation. This, and the fact that propane and natural gas is highly dangerous to work with, is exactly the reason why it is a job best left to the professionals at Hyde-Whipp.

For direct vent pipe installation, we will install an approved direct vent pipe with a non-combustible insulation enshrouding them. Before installing the propane insert, the chimney will be inspected to ensure that the chimney flue is in good condition.

Many times, in gas fireplace installation, the chimney flew must be replaced, as they are often too large, and reduce the efficiency of the gas or propane fireplace. A chimney flew that is too large can severely reduce the efficiency of an otherwise good fireplace. Also, if a vent pipe needs to be installed, then to ensure the safety of our customers by also installing a fire stop for the vent pipe. Fire stops are primarily used for the prevention of fires. They can also be used, however, to protect wood and other materials that are prone to ignite, from heated pipes, such as the vent pipe.

Fireplace installation is one of the most important aspects of introducing one of our propane or gas fireplaces into your cozy home, and it is definitely not one of those areas to cut corners on.
