“They put a mini-split in the workshop above our drive shed. Keeps it warm enough to work in January and cool through harvest. Clean install start to finish.”
Fireplace Installation and Replacement, Handled Start to Finish
There is a reason the hearth anchored farm kitchens across Perth County for generations, and a direct-vent gas fireplace brings that gathering spot back without the woodpile. Mitchell HVAC Pros installs inserts that freshen up an existing century-home fireplace and free-standing stoves for rooms that never had one. We run the gas line, leak-test every joint, vent the unit to code, and leave the mantel dusted. And when an ice storm knocks the power out, that one room stays warm and lit.
Want one warm room when the power fails?
Direct-vent inserts for century-home fireplaces and free-standing gas stoves for any room. We run the gas line and venting to code so the flame is safe as well as cozy.
Inserts and Stoves for Any Room
A century home near downtown often has a beautiful old fireplace that drafts badly; a direct-vent insert turns it into a clean, efficient heater. For post-war bungalows and new builds without a chimney, a free-standing gas stove adds the glow without construction.
Gas and Venting Done to Code
Every fireplace we install gets a properly sized gas line, a documented leak test on each joint, and venting that meets Ontario code before we light the first fire. Your family gets the warmth, and none of the worry that comes with amateur gas work.
Backup Warmth Through Outages
Ice storms and high-wind events can put West Perth hydro out for hours at a stretch. A gas fireplace keeps the living room warm and usable through those outages, the same role the hearth played for farming families here for over a century.
Fireplace Installation in Mitchell: Common Questions
How much does fireplace installation cost in Ontario?
It depends on the unit and the venting. Electric installs stay simple and affordable, while direct-vent gas adds line and venting work. A free quote gives real numbers.
How long does a fireplace installation take?
The physical work is rarely the slow part. Hauling, setup, and connection take a day, but venting approvals and back-ordered models can stretch the calendar. We flag delays early.
Should I repair my old fireplace or replace it?
An old wood fireplace is often better converted than repaired. A sealed gas insert drops into the existing opening, upgrades efficiency dramatically, and skips the rebuild. Worth pricing out.
What Mitchell Homeowners Say
Real feedback from neighbours we've helped stay comfortable year-round.
“Our AC died in the first humid stretch of July. The tech found a burnt capacitor, replaced it the same visit, and never once pushed a new unit on us.”
“Our furnace quit the night a snowsquall came off the fields. They answered right away and had the heat back on before the kids woke up. Fair price, no runaround.”
