Introducing Gas Inserts – A Smart, Stylish Solution for Montreal Homes

If you live on the island of Montreal, you likely know that traditional masonry wood-burning fireplaces are no longer permitted—except during power outages lasting three hours or more. But that doesn’t mean giving up the cozy charm of a fire.

At Melrose, we proudly offer gas fireplace inserts—a modern, efficient, and regulation-compliant way to enjoy beautiful, reliable heat in your home. Whether you’re upgrading an existing fireplace or planning a renovation, a gas insert is a clean, smart, and hassle-free investment in year-round comfort.

Why Choose a Gas Insert?

Built for Montreal’s Regulations
Gas fireplace inserts are fully compliant with current bylaws and eliminate the emissions associated with wood burning. They offer an environmentally responsible way to keep your fireplace functional and beautiful.

Natural Gas & Propane Options
We offer units that run on either natural gas or propane, giving you flexibility depending on
your home’s setup. Both fuel types offer clean, efficient, and cost-effective heating.

Efficient, Reliable Heat When You Need It
Gas inserts convert up to 99% of the fuel into usable heat—perfect for zone heating your
main living areas while reducing your central heating use. Plus, many models come with a
battery backup, so your fireplace works even during power outages.

Control at Your Fingertips
With a remote or thermostat, you can easily control the flame height, temperature, fan
speed, and even set timers or schedules—all with a simple click. It’s instant ambiance and
warmth, no wood required.

Low Maintenance, Minimal Effort
There’s no chopping, hauling, or ash cleanup—just a clean flame behind a sealed glass front.
Best of all, maintenance is only required every 12 to 18 months, depending on usage. That’s it.

Stylish & Seamless Integration
Choose from a range of styles—from rustic log sets to sleek modern designs. Inserts are installed
directly into your existing wood-burning fireplace, giving it new life while preserving its character.
