Napoleon Ascent B42 Gas Fireplace

We love our new Napoleon Gas Fireplace, especially with the cool spring weather we have been having. Robin, Conner and Dan were very professional and their customer service exceptional -even helping me out when I had a mishap with the tiles.

Our family room is where we hang out all the time and now it is more cozy/welcoming with the new fireplace.

We highly recommend Fireplace West.

Hi Kim. It's unusual for us to have a client keep working on the mantel finishes after we leave. Great client skill sets. We were happy to help out with a few broken tiles after the fact. Thx for the great review. Robin, Connor, Dan.

Napoleon Fireplace Insert

We have just had our fireplace insert installed. Having done online, in-store and telephone research, we contacted Robin via e-mail one week ago today. Received a reply within a matter of hours and set up an appointment for a quote on Tuesday. As luck would have it, he was available to install today. They arrived on time, worked steadily and cleanly. They were knowledgeable and pleasant. Robin took the time to answer questions to explain how it would work. From start to finish it was a great experience. We would highly recommend Robin and his team at Fireplace West.

Napolean Gas Fireplace with Stone Veneer Surround

Had the good fortune of reaching out to Robin Hetherington at Fireplace West in Ottawa, to install a Napoleon Gas Fireplace complete with stone surround. Will admit these guys really know their stuff, and are extremely qualified on the subject. Robin and his crew, did an awesome job from the initial contact point, to project completion. The end result is that we now have a family room focal point, that is totally inspiring to look at and enjoy, as well the ambiance created is beautiful. I can wholeheartedly recommend Robin and the team. Gary in Barrhaven

High quality and attention to detail, timely install, friendly service

We had an old brick wood burning fireplace in our living room, and Robin did a great job installing a gas insert fireplace (Valour G3). They even installed it right before Christmas. We found them to be very attentive to cosmetic details. The tiling job around our fireplace looks nice and clean. They cleaned up very well, and the unit is running smoothly. Robin and his crew were extremely pleasant to deal with, competitively priced, and we will be recommending them to our friends.

Love the insert!

We decided to paint our 1970 fireplace and since it came out well, we wanted a propane insert to complete it. We called Robin since he had installed our daughter's and he agreed to visit within a few days. He completed the job very professionally and always reassured me that I would love it. We couldn't be happier and there were no surprises, I would definitely recommend him.

Fireplace and installation

Robin helped pick the perfect fireplace for our basement, and the service was above and beyond, they were quick to get in and install the fireplace, it looked great installed, They even cleaned the other fireplace in our house while they were here. I wouldn't go anywhere else for another fireplace.

Gas Fireplace install

Robin & his team have transformed our basement TV room into a warm and inviting space to hang out. Robin came in and provided a quote to build in a gas fireplace in our basement finished space. The design was simple, clean and well executed. In just 3 days we went from a cool basement space to a wonderfully warm and appealing room we use regularly. The team was clean ,courteous and in and out quickly. The fireplace is the focal point of the room and everyone comments how beautiful it looks and the fact "it looks like it has always been there". That is a testament to the design and placement of the fireplace in the room. Working with Robin was a great experience. Highly recommend Robin and Fireplace West!

What an awesome review Steve. I've listened to my clients, Steve. Last year we consumed $700 less propane with the installation of a Vermont gas stove in our family room; warm and cozy where we spend most of our family time. Thx, Connor, Dan, Robin.

See the stove in my "New sheriff in town 2" site blog.

Valor G4 Gas Insert

We had been looking at gas fireplaces on and off for a number of months and had narrowed down the brand to the Valor, but we were still struggling on what to do with the existing 50 year old mantle & hearth.

Robin came in and reviewed what we wanted and he was able to provide us with a number of options that would suit our home. After spending a week or two bouncing idea's back and forth we settled on a design that worked. He managed to get the work done the following week, just in time for Christmas and we have been enjoying it every night since then.

Installed 2 Napoleon gas stove fireplaces

Hi Robin,

I would like to send holiday greetings and a great THANK YOU to both you and Connor for the wonderful job you did at our house.

We are now using the gas stove fireplaces and are enjoying the ambiance in our place.

While all other companies told us we would have to wait till the new year, you managed to complete the work in 3 days only a week after we spoke, ready way before Christmas day!

You have exceeded my expectations and cannot be happier with the new additions!

Here are pictures of our living room fireplace!

Thanks again!!!

Gas Fireplace

I just had a Regency gas fireplace installed by Fireplace West in my first home. Robin came out for an on-site evaluation and ended up also helping me out with an issue with my furnace. I was impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, and care Robin and Connor showed during the installation of my gas fireplace. They took care of everything and Robin took the time to explain how everything worked and to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied with the fireplace. Great work, the fireplace looks and works great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you again Robin and Connor for the housewarming gift!
