Derek (the manager) took the time to figure out the details, even went to Google streetview to look at the venting on our building.

One of the best customer experiences ever.

We were in desperate need of inexpensive fireplace for our townhouse (our old one died…read moreunexpectedly, right in the middle of cold winter), and this was a place in Richmond, not far from us. Communication was great - quick e-mails, always available on the phone (never on hold), they have a great showroom opened on Saturdays, which was very convenient. The price was about twice cheaper than other places quoted us, installation was quick and very professional, done very quickly (it took a guy about 2 hours to remove old fireplace and install a new one).He even managed to remove only 1 ceramic tile above this fireplace, so we don't need to replace all tiles, just to put back this one. They also arranged a visit of Richmond City inspector (included in the total price) the next week after installation. And we were not charged until the work had been finished. All in all we were very happy and can highly recommend this place.

IMO when dealing with ANYTHING related to fire and gas pipelines and venting and construction and…read moreelectricity in one's house or condo, one does NOT mess around. One does NOT go with the bargain basement lowest priced contractor or company. One does NOT try to do this oneself. One does one's research and goes to a reputable place that is knowledgable, professional, been around a while, has a great reputation, has licensed and bonded professionals, has ample products to choose from, offers a guarantee of their products and service, and has a portfolio and/or references. Vancouver Gas Fireplaces (VGF) is such a company. The gas fireplace in my Yaletown condo never worked well since I moved here, and it ceased working altogether a few years ago. I decided this was the year to get a new and improved model. A few neighbors in my building have done extensive renovations in their units in the past few years, and they all got their fireplaces from VGF. And they all spoke highly of them. When I called the company, I got connected to Martes who was fantastic. I booked an appointment with her to check out all the fireplace models. I was impressed with the showroom, so I was able to see all the different models, and Martes was able to direct me to those models that would fit in my existing condo space and utilize the same venting pipes. (I wanted to minimize the construction, and get my strata's approval for the project without any issues). Martes was super familiar with the models in question and she totally understood what features and aesthetic I was going for. What was extra cool was the fact that I was able to choose any type of hearth and/or mantle I wanted, and any kind of wall treatment, too. I hadn't anticipated being able to re-do the wall the fireplace was on! I like clean and uncluttered styles, so I opted to have my existing hearth pained a glossy black, and to have a mantle made (I always wanted a mantle!), simple and deep, also glossy black. And the wall to remain the same white. The project involved 4 or 5 visits: once, by the installers; the other times, by Vlad, the construction guy. And all I can say is, wow. I've never had a more professional or courteous crew of workers here, ever. From the care in which they took down my tv and sound bar and later re-installed it (even better, without all the pesky wires exposed, as they had been before!), and did all the work so efficiently, in such an organized and co-ordinated manner, as quietly as possible, and so cleanly. Vlad was meticulous, how he daily laid out a huge cover on top of my carpet, so as not to dirty it at all, and he vacuumed at least twice each time he came (and, yes, he came with his own vacuum! I swear, my place was cleaner after Vlad let than before, every time! He was amazing). And I'm attaching photos of my new fireplace wall, with a fabulous, heat-producing fireplace (I also got a special vent installed on top of my tv, to better direct heat below AND above the tv), and my new hearth and new mantle! Vlad did a fantastic job. Shout-outs also go out to Samantha who visited after the project was completed, to adjust some settings on my fireplace remote and for a quick tutorial on how to actually use the fireplace remote.

I had two gas fireplaces installed by Vaglio last year. The one in the basement operated…read morebrilliantly. The remote control of the one on the main floor worked intermittently. Various solutions were attempted including replacing the remote. Nothing solved my problem. It didn't help my credibility that everything worked whenever the Vaglio people visited. Fortunately for me, Vaglio took me seriously. After trying everything else, they changed the type of remote control I had. Since then, all has worked perfectly. :-) The best explanation of my problem is that there is probably some intermittent radio signal that interfered with my original remote and that operated mostly out of business hours. The new remote uses a different system and thus manages to get through. Through all this the Vaglio people continued to work with me. I really want to thank Jeff F, Angus, and everyone else involved for their perseverance. It would have been very easy for them to just label me as a "problem customer". I really appreciate their effort and highly recommend Vaglio to anyone wanting a very nice gas fireplace. Thank-you! ... (another) angus

Sadly this would have been a 5 star review for this company. The showroom has many products on…read moredisplay, very good fireplace items, and the sales person was very knowledgeable with any of the questions we asked. We selected the Valor insert model that we wanted, and when we received the cost estimate, we gave the go ahead thinking that the overly high installation cost would be reduced once the installers completed the install. Such was not the case. Everything was cleared and wide open, ready to go. The two installers were at our place for 1 hour 40 minutes, and the installation fee was $1350. We were then told that the charge is the same whether the installers were on site for 1 hour or 8 hours. That's outrageous. Had I known, I would have let them tear the drywall out and remove the existing framing.

They won't sell you something you don't need, but also won't just band aid a solution. They will recommend what is necessary to do now with an eye down the road as to what will be your best choice long term. In our case, they could have replaced the blower and other parts on the old furnace for about half the price of a new one (which comes with a 10 year warranty), so the decision was easy to replace the entire unit.
