Jeremy is the best..a trusted expert in all types of natural gas fireplaces, indoor and out, BBQ connections, stove hook ups, pool etc. He takes pride in his specialized field and takes the time to clearly explain things upfront. Honest, reliable, reasonable prices, friendly and excellent service. I would definitely recommend Natural Gas Technicians to anyone that needs a job done right and above all, safety first. Don't look any further..you have the best that really cares!

Fireplace repair

When I explained the problem I was having with my tenant’s fireplace, Jeremy responded quickly. He determined that the problem could be repaired (whereas two other gas places told me I needed to replace the whole unit). He booked an appointment promptly, showed up on time and fixed the unit for the price quoted. My tenant was totally impressed with Jeremy’s professionalism and I couldn’t agree more.

Expert Knowledge, Professionalism, Fast and Met all of our Needs

From the first call to The Fireplace Doctor, through booking to have Jeremy come to our home and solve our problem with our fireplace ~ the whole team was polite, fast, exuded in professionalism and efficient.

Jeremy is an expert in his field, a professional and someone who takes pride in his work. He was such a pleasure to work with and explained everything to us. The results - our fireplace looks brand new and we are thrilled.

We would recommend Jeremy to any one who requires help from an expert Natural Gas Technician ~ that's Jeremy!

Relaced corroded gas line into house.

Jeremy was great, started the job the next day, it only took a few hours, & it looks great. Enbridge had shut-off our BBQ gas-line for some reason, so he even installed a line for us at no-charge so we could use it(& he even helped me move the BBQ). Top-rated for a reason.

Gas stove replacement

Very satisfied with Jeremy doing our gas stove disconnect and reconnect. Jeremy was prompt in responding to our request for quote, prompt in responding to subsequent questions, and punctual. Jeremy is knowledgeable, has many years experience in the industry, explained what he was doing and provided some helpful tips for the future. He was efficient and neat and tidy. He covered the floor with a blanket, wore soft gloves to protect his hands but also to avoid scratching our new stove, and cleaned up his work area before he left. It was obvious Jeremy takes great pride in doing a job well! Will definitely use Jeremy again for gas work.

The price we paid for the service we thought was quite reasonable. Parts and taxes were extra, as expected. Jeremy asked us in advance for the model number of our stove so he could come prepared with all the necessary parts.

Finding a good gas tech though was a bit of work. We bought a new gas stove at a great price to replace our old one but the retailer doesn't do installations. Neither Enbridge/Union Gas nor Reliance (who maintains our gas furnace) do gas stove installations. Union Gas does provide a list of companies that do gas work but we found many of them listed only do installs and not appliance repair or disconnect/reconnect. Conducted an internet search for gas techs in the area who listed appliance disconnect/connect as a service but reviews were either absent or contained some very negative comments. We jumped on connecting with Jeremy when we read all the positive reviews of him on Homestars.com. Jeremy lived up to his reviews.

Wow, thanks for the great review Mike!
I do have a standard operating procedure that helps things run smoothly. My biggest challenge is often scheduling, with this being the busiest time of the year.
Let me know if you need assistance in the future. Best regards, Jeremy

Maintenance of 2 gas fireplaces

Very pleased with Jeremy's service and professionalism. He is very honest and went above and beyond by replacing, free of charge, a defective on/off switch for one of the fireplaces. I will use his services in the future and will certainly recommend him.

Hi Jorge, thanks for the kind words and highlighting my service. I do everything I can to stick to my quoted prices. I appreciate your trust and allowing me to work unsupervised in your home. It just made sense to make the repair and absorb the small cost, rather than bugging you at work.
cheers!
Jeremy

Gas Fireplace Repair

We have a 20 year old Napoleon gas fireplace and a couple of years ago the pilot started going out intermitmently. We called in another company the technician cleaned the fireplace and got it running but told us that our fireplace was old and parts were no longer available and we would probably need to replace it in the next few years. I was told a new fireplace would cost in the order of $6,000.

Within a year the pilot started going out again and this fall we called Natural Gas Technicians. Jeremy came out and did a diagnostic and it didn't take him too long to determine that the mercury switch was not working properly. He advised that Napoleon had a retrofit kit for the inner works of this particular fireplace that replaced the mercury switch with a thermopile. We advised Jeremy to go ahead and order this part and within a couple of weeks he was back to install it. The igniter on the new unit was faulty but Jeremy had a part in his truck to replace it and within a couple of hours we had an operational fireplace again.

We highly recommend Jeremy. He is prompt, professional, courteous and honest. When he was tallying up the bill for this work he deducted the time it took him to replace the faulty igniter which was not his fault or ours. He is also very tidy and leaves the work area as clean or cleaner than he found it.

I found it interesting that the previous company that serviced our fireplace told us that it would need to be replaced and yet Jeremy immediately advised that there was a retrofit kit for this fireplace. I guess the difference is that the other company sells and installs fireplaces and may have wanted to sell me a new fireplace rather than keep the existing one running.

Jeremy has given us hope that there are still some honest and reliable business people out there !
Jeremy has since breathed new life into our neighbours fireplace as well.

Thanks David!
It is very rewarding to have great review from someone with a strong technical background! You saw how many tools and steps it took to take it apart, then do the exact opposite to put it together and complete the repair.

Your service call touched on many common themes I hear everyday.

Firstly, that a "reputable" fireplace company had come out and said, "sorry there are no parts available for this old fireplace, but we would be happy to quote a new one". It is sad to say that many of these "reputable companies" have NO INTENTION ON FIXING YOUR FIREPLACE (YES I SAID IT!)!
If anyone would like to know about their fireplace, just call, email or text me your model and I can tell you all about it.

Secondly, I don't have clients complain about my billing because I am very reasonable and explain everything I can upfront. Indeed the cracked ignitor was not your fault or mine, but it is my responsibilty and I take care of the incidentals when required-often unbeknonwst. Also I don't charge extra for "call backs" if it is related to the original issue.
I'm glad to have a replacement ignitor in the van to save a rescheduling for both of us!

Thirdly and very important, I take extreme care in eliminating the possibility of any potential damage to property. Everytime I enter a home I am looking for obstacles, consciously preventing wall scuffs and floor scratches. Most effective in scuff/scratch prevention is always using a good quality drop sheet and using a tool bag instead of a tool box. I use a top quality ash vacuum-never a air compressor. Shoe covers and cotton gloves are also commomly used.

Thanks again for the referral to your neighbours and let me know if I can be of assistance in the future!
