Key Considerations for Your New Fireplace Installation

Installing a new fireplace is an exciting home improvement project, but it requires careful planning to ensure you get the best results for your space. Beyond just the visual appeal, you need to think about how the unit will function within your home’s existing layout and your family’s lifestyle. Our team helps you evaluate these technical and practical factors to ensure your new hearth is safe, efficient, and beautiful.

  • The primary purpose of the unit, such as providing supplemental heat or serving mainly as a decorative focal point.
  • The best fuel source for your needs, including the convenience of natural gas or the traditional experience of wood.
  • Available space and the structural requirements for proper venting and chimney placement.
  • Local building codes and safety regulations specific to the Greater Montana area.
  • The long-term maintenance requirements associated with different fireplace styles and models.
  • Your home’s existing insulation and how a new heat source will affect your overall energy efficiency.

Abe the service technician and the lady who scheduled the repair are very efficient and a pleasant company to deal with. We called 4:50 pm Thursday and they came approximately 10 pm am Friday morning (believe they’re plenty busy) it’s a well ordered company. Abe diagnosed the issue he is a very knowledgeable repair technician who has a delightful personality. The gas valve was replaced that rarely fails; we have our heat back! It’s expensive to have a boiler repaired. We do recommend Hellgate Plumbing, heating, and cooling for all your plumbing needs. Thanks

Honestly, consistently impressed with Hellgate Plumbing. Always able to book immediate appointments, they're super responsive, and let you know who your tech will be ahead of time. Henry fixed my broken garbage disposal and knocked out another random problem while he was here, and was super friendly and considerate of my home. I'll send my friends here, for sure. If you've got a home in their area, seriously consider their membership club, it's saved me a few times, completely worth it.

Our technician, Sinjun, was very thorough in inspecting our AC system. He took the time afterwards to go over his findings and suggestions on repairs to keep it running great. We really appreciate the "no pressure" approach. He left us with valuable information and we will certainly use them for our heating/AC/plumbing needs in the future.
