Installation, conversion, service, repair — we handle every part of your gas fireplace system from valve to vent.
Gas fireplaces are the fastest-growing category in Quincy homes — converted from wood-burning units, installed new in renovations, or replaced when the original direct-vent unit ages out. Done right, a gas fireplace is the most reliable heat source in the house. Done wrong, it's a slow-running CO problem behind a beautiful glass front.
We do conversions from wood-burning to gas log sets, direct-vent installations in finished walls, B-vent service, annual maintenance and tune-ups, gas valve and igniter service, and full gas-line work. Licensed gas fitter on staff, fully insured, every job passes municipal inspection where required.
Recent gas fireplace work across Quincy and the South Shore — gas log installs, inserts, and service done safely and to code.
Every chimney we touch in Quincy gets the same diagnostic discipline — find the actual cause, fix it properly, and document the work. Here's a closer look at the gas fireplace services problems we run into most.
Adding a gas log set to an existing wood-burning fireplace is the fastest, cheapest gas conversion. We run a new gas line, install the manufacturer-spec log set with proper damper clamps, leak-test, and demo the operation. Total time: usually one day.
Direct-vent inserts vent horizontally through an exterior wall — no chimney required. Common in finished basements, primary bedrooms, and additions across Quincy. Installation includes the appliance, vent run, gas line, switch or remote wiring, and trim surround.
Annual maintenance on existing gas units: pilot & valve cleaning, igniter check, glass cleaning and re-gasketing, log set repositioning, venting inspection, combustion verification. Most no-heat emergencies are prevented by annual service.
Pilot won't stay lit (thermocouple), yellow flames (combustion air), igniter won't spark (failed module), sooting on glass (improper venting) — all common and all fixable. We carry common replacement parts on the truck.
Replacing an old direct-vent unit with a modern high-efficiency model often requires updated venting, new gas line sizing, and electrical connections for blowers. We handle the full removal-install with municipal inspection sign-off where required.
Every gas service we perform is performed by or supervised by a Massachusetts-licensed gas fitter. Pressure testing, leak detection, combustion analyzer readings, and municipal inspection sign-off are all part of the standard process — never optional add-ons.
Four clear steps — no vague pricing, no surprise add-ons, no rushed work.
Full inspection of the appliance, venting, gas line, and valve. Flat-rate quote covering exactly what's needed.

Licensed gas fitter on every job. Proper leak testing, draft testing, combustion verification. Glass and log set cleaned and reset for proper appearance.
Municipal inspection coordinated where required, manufacturer warranty registered, photo-documented service file emailed same day.
Gas log set conversion: $1,400–$3,200 including new line run. Direct-vent insert install: $3,500–$6,800 typical. Annual gas service: $189–$329. Pilot/valve/igniter repair: $199–$549 plus parts. Full direct-vent system replacement: $4,800–$9,500.
Gas fireplaces need annual service — not because they produce creosote (they don't) but because pilots, valves, igniters, and venting all benefit from yearly inspection. Schedule before October. Pair with a Level 1 venting inspection if your gas appliance uses a chimney flue.
