We Install Built-In Fireplaces

A built-in fireplace is more than a stylish focal point—it’s a reliable, energy-efficient heat source that adds warmth and comfort to your home. At Barron Heating AC Electrical & Plumbing, we specialize in the expert installation of built-in fireplaces throughout Bellingham, WA, and Northwestern Washington, offering homeowners both function and timeless beauty through our Firelight by Barron division.

Built-in fireplaces are designed to be seamlessly integrated into a wall or custom enclosure, creating a clean, finished look that enhances any room’s aesthetic. These units can be powered by natural gas, propane, or electricity, and are ideal for both new construction and remodels. With sleek, modern designs and traditional styles available, our selection includes top-quality models from trusted brands known for performance, efficiency, and safety.

Our process begins with a personalized consultation at one of our Firelight by Barron showrooms, where our Hearth Experts help you explore the many options available. From there, we’ll provide an in-home layout consultation to ensure the fireplace you choose will work well within the structural and aesthetic needs of your space. Whether you’re upgrading an outdated wood-burning unit or planning a new feature wall in your living area, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Our team handles all aspects of the installation, including venting, gas or electrical hookups, and ensuring your fireplace complies with local safety codes and manufacturer specifications. We take care of the details so you can enjoy a flawless installation and reliable, long-term operation. We also offer options for remote control operation, fan kits, and decorative surrounds to personalize your built-in fireplace experience.

Other Fireplace Options: Inserts and Stoves

When it comes to enhancing your home’s comfort and ambiance, built-in fireplaces aren’t the only solution. Our Firelight by Barron division offers a range of fireplace alternatives, including inserts and freestanding stoves, that deliver exceptional warmth, efficiency, and design flexibility. Whether you want to update an existing fireplace or add a cozy heat source in a new location, these options provide powerful performance with timeless appeal.

Fireplace Inserts are ideal for upgrading old, inefficient wood-burning fireplaces. These self-contained units are designed to slide directly into your existing fireplace opening and are available in wood, gas, or electric models. Inserts significantly improve heating efficiency by reducing heat loss through the chimney and providing more controlled, even warmth. We guide you through the selection process and ensure a proper fit, venting, and safe installation so you can enjoy the benefits of a cleaner, more efficient fireplace.

Stoves, on the other hand, offer flexible placement since they don’t require a traditional fireplace structure. These freestanding heating units can be installed almost anywhere in your home and come in a variety of styles, including cast iron, steel, and enamel finishes. Stoves are available in wood-burning, gas, and pellet fuel options—each providing its own unique heating advantages. They’re an excellent choice for homeowners who want both efficient heating and a touch of rustic charm or classic design. Plus, modern stoves incorporate advanced technology for cleaner combustion and easier operation.

Choosing between an insert or stove depends on your home’s layout, existing features, and heating goals. Our knowledgeable Hearth Experts at Firelight by Barron will help you determine the best solution based on your space and lifestyle. We’ll take care of every detail—from helping you choose the right model to completing the installation with precision and care.

Chimney Sweeping: Yes, Your Chimney Needs It!

When it comes to fireplace safety and performance, chimney sweeping isn’t optional—it’s essential. Through our Firelight by Barron division, we provide professional chimney sweeping services to ensure your fireplace and chimney operate safely and efficiently throughout the year. Neglecting chimney maintenance can lead to serious issues, including fire hazards, poor indoor air quality, and compromised heating performance.

Over time, creosote—a highly flammable byproduct of wood combustion—builds up inside the walls of your chimney. Even gas fireplaces can accumulate debris or suffer from blocked ventilation. If not removed, these deposits can ignite and cause a dangerous chimney fire. Regular sweeping clears out this buildup, along with soot, ash, and any obstructions such as bird nests or leaves that could restrict airflow.

Routine chimney maintenance doesn’t just prevent fires; it also protects your home from carbon monoxide exposure. A blocked or dirty flue can hinder proper ventilation, allowing harmful gases to seep back into your living space. Our certified chimney sweeps use professional-grade tools and proven techniques to thoroughly inspect and clean every part of your chimney system. We’ll also look for structural issues, moisture damage, or signs of deterioration to keep your fireplace operating at peak safety and performance.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends at least one chimney inspection and cleaning per year, especially if you use your fireplace frequently during colder months. The start of the heating season is the best time to have this service done, ensuring your system is clean and ready when you need it most. Whether you rely on a wood-burning stove, a gas insert, or a traditional masonry fireplace, we tailor our chimney sweeping approach to match your exact setup.
