Gas fireplaces are the perfect option when an open fireplace is just not possible, such applications would be see-thru and multi-sided installations, steep roof or complex venting. Also gas fireplaces can now be put in places only dreamed of by architects and designers just 25 years ago.

Some Like It Hot! has installed gas fireplaces under windows and televisions, in tight corners or as room dividers between master bedroom and master bath.

Gas inserts are installed into existing wood fireplaces. Ranging from contemporary to traditional, modern gas inserts are a great alternative to open hearth applications. Gas inserts have grown in popularity because they are easy to use, have less wear and tear as they are not subject to sparks and embers and are warmer as they produce both convective heat and radiant heat, filling an entire room with warmth and not just the area near the fireplace.

Some Like It Hot! can either replace your existing system or perform a complete new installation. We provide this service with minimal disruption to your routine and with very little alteration of the space around the fireplace.Gas Logs are installed in existing wood-burning fireplaces that have been converted to gas and are the simplest and easiest way to get the same effect as a gas fireplace with the least amount of accommodation.

All of the existing infrastructure within your current fireplace is used, we install the gas line, gas logs, and any gas log set accessories you choose.

Gas logs are vented using the existing chimney system although they do produce some radiant heat they are mainly used for decoration.

Free standing gas stoves are a great way to get that rustic wood stove look you want when you just don’t have the space. By combining the timeless, enchanting appeal of a wood fire with the convenience and ease of gas and integrating seamlessly into your existing home décor.

Some Like It Hot! has a size to meet all types of square footage and a style to complement your home, our free standing gas stoves come in a variety of materials, steel, cast iron or enameled cast iron.

They burn cleaner and use less natural resources, no need to stockpile wood, and these gas fire pits are also low maintenance, in many instances can be operated with a mere flip of a switch.

Tired of losing heat up the chimney of your home due to an old masonry fireplace? Let Some Like It Hot! install a wood-burning insert giving you the efficiency of an air-tight wood stove in your existing fireplace.

Or maybe you are trying to preserve the look of your antique fireplace without losing its functionality, either way, installing an insert is a practical and cost-effective way of converting an existing, inefficient, steel or masonry open fireplace into an attractive, efficient heat source.

Wood Burning Stoves are the same as wood inserts but have no masonry and are less expensive than an airtight fireplace. Although they may take a little extra work to run, the new “EPA” stoves are a much more energy efficient appliance that will save fuel, money and protect you and your family’s health. Newer stoves (which are up to 50% more efficient than older stoves) can reduce smoke and dust, as well as cut heating expenses with no need for electricity or propane.

Some of the energy efficiency benefits of replacing old wood stoves and fireplaces are:

Saves money, fuel, time and resources.
50% more energy efficient.
Uses 1/3 less wood for the same heat.
Cuts creosote build-up in chimneys that helps reduce the risk of fire.
Produces 70% less particle pollution indoors and out.
Some of the environmental benefits of replacing old wood stoves and fireplaces with new appliances are:

Reduces indoor and outdoor wood smoke pollution which has been linked to cancer, asthma and other serious health conditions.
Improved combustion efficiency reduces CO2, methane and black carbon emissions.
Saves billions in health benefits each year.

Some Like It Hot! installs insulated stainless steel, high-temperature chimney systems for both fireplaces and woodstoves. Stainless steel is the material of choice for its resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, less creosote and lends outstanding durability for your venting needs.

Some points on insulated stainless steel, high-temperature chimney systems:
All the chimney products SLIH use within our installations are tested to ULC Standards (approved for use in Canada).
We use prefabricated units to speed up construction and to facilitate consistent quality standards.
High-temperature insulated stainless steel chimney systems are better than a Standard Masonry as it is round (not square or rectangle), this allows smoke to draw in a circular motion providing proper venting for your woodstove or fireplace.
The PRE-HEATING of a Stainless chimney is a lot quicker as it doesn’t have to heat up a couple of tons of masonry, allowing a quicker draft and less creosote.
Remember that a well-built chimney system keeps you and your family safe from smoke, carbon and flames produced by your fireplace or woodstove.
