Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose a gas or electric fireplace insert?
Gas inserts deliver strong, efficient heat and keep working during power outages, making them ideal as a primary heat source. Electric inserts install almost anywhere with no gas line or venting, run clean, and may qualify for local Heat Clean rebates. We’ll help you compare both during your free in-home visit.

Yes — we serve all of Santa Barbara County, from Goleta and Isla Vista through Montecito, Summerland, and Carpinteria.
How much does a fireplace upgrade cost?
Cost depends on the unit, finishes, and any venting or gas work needed. We provide clear, written pricing with options at different budgets, and many homeowners lower the cost through the Santa Barbara County Heat Clean rebate.
