Warmer Rooms, Better Patios, Safer Gas Work

Lake Country gas work spans a wide range of lifestyles. New Woodsdale and Lakes District homes featuring modern gas fireplaces as a design centerpiece. Original Winfield bungalows where owners are tired of chopping and hauling wood and want a clean gas-insert conversion. Carr's Landing and Okanagan Centre lakefront entertaining properties with outdoor kitchens, patio heaters, and fire features needing real gas plumbing. Orchard acreages toward the airport running on propane, needing tank-fed appliances sized correctly.

Stevenson Mechanical's BC-certified gas fitters handle every gas job a Lake Country home needs. Fireplace installs and conversions, BBQ and patio heater hookups, outdoor kitchen plumbing, furnace and appliance connections, and new line installs for suites and additions. Every job permitted, inspected, and signed off — because gas is the one place corners can't be cut without real consequences.

What We Handle

Gas Services for Lake Country Homeowners

  1. Gas Fireplaces

    Zero-clearance fireplaces, masonry inserts, and freestanding stoves — installed across Lake Country from Winfield retrofits to Woodsdale new builds.

  2. Wood-to-Gas Conversions

    Convert existing wood-burning fireplaces in older Lake Country homes to clean gas inserts. No more chopping, stacking, or sweeping chimneys — same ambiance.

  3. Outdoor Kitchens & BBQs

    Dedicated natural gas lines for BBQs, fire pits, patio heaters, and outdoor kitchens — perfect for Carr's Landing and Okanagan Centre entertaining properties.

  4. New Gas Line Installs

    New lines for suites, additions, shops, and appliance relocations. We plan, permit, and run cleanly from the meter out, sized right the first time.

  5. Appliance Hookups

    Gas range, dryer, water heater, furnace — certified connections that pass inspection and keep manufacturer warranties valid.

  6. Propane Systems

    Orchard and airport-belt Lake Country often runs on propane. We handle tank-fed systems with the same certification as natural gas work.

How It Works

Gas Work, Done the Right Way

  1. Call or Book Online

    Tell us what you need — fireplace, hookup, line install, or repair. Lake Country calls get scheduled without runaround.

  2. On-Site Assessment

    A certified gas fitter inspects the job in person and confirms everything needed — permits, venting, framing, line sizing. Real conditions, not phone guesses.

  3. Clear Quote

    Written quote covering labor, materials, unit cost (for fireplaces), and permits. No pressure to decide on the spot.

  4. Permitted Installation

    We pull permits and complete work to BC code. Gas is never the place to cut corners — the permit is cheap insurance against a worse conversation later.

  5. Inspection & Sign-Off

    Once inspected, we walk you through operation, leave paperwork for records and insurance, and register the manufacturer warranty.

Why Stevenson

Why Lake Country Trusts Us with Fireplaces & Gas

Fireplace Design Help

We help pick the right unit for the room — size, style, venting, framing — before you commit to equipment that doesn't fit the space properly.

BC-Certified Fitters Only

Every gas line handled by a licensed gas fitter. No apprentices left alone on gas work, ever, across any Lake Country community.

Fully Permitted Work

Permits pulled, inspections booked. Paper trail that protects your home, your family, and any insurance claim down the road.

Natural Gas + Propane

Urban Lake Country runs on natural gas; rural orchard and airport belt often on propane. We're certified for both, service both identically.

Common Questions

Gas Fireplace & Gas Fitting FAQ — Lake Country, BC

Yes. All gas fireplace installs in BC require a gas permit and final inspection. We pull the permit and book inspection — you don't coordinate with Technical Safety BC directly.

Yes. We handle conversions from existing masonry wood-burning fireplaces to sealed gas inserts, including gas line, venting, and commissioning. Most conversions finish in a day.

The rotten-egg smell added to natural gas is the most common sign. Suspect a leak? Leave immediately, avoid switches or flames, and call us or FortisBC from outside.

Absolutely. Carr's Landing lakefront entertaining properties are routine work — dedicated lines for BBQs, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and patio heaters.

Yes. Rural Lake Country — orchard properties toward the airport, acreages beyond the natural gas service boundary — often runs propane. Our fitters are certified for both.

Insert retrofit or freestanding stove: often one day. New zero-clearance fireplace with framing, drywall, and trim: two to three days depending on finishing scope.

Shadd and his team are absolutely wonderful and did a great job. I needed a basement sink plumbed and new washer dryer hookups and they were able to get it done in short order, kept everything tidy and were super easy to deal with. They knew my budget and worked with me to stay within it and gave me everything I needed. They are very professional, skilled and their prices are more than reasonable. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY US! 4 weeks ago, our hot water and air conditioning quit working on the same day! I called and spoke with the AMAZING Denise, she had Alex out at our shop within the day and he had everything diagnosed and parts ordered, not long after the first appointment, he had our hot water back in working order and then our A/C was repaired after that! Anytime we have had any issues, they have been very prompt to show up on the same day and Alex fixed it all! Such amazing and friendly services! You all have a forever client with Integra Tire and our team moving forward! Thank You!

Plumbing problems are never fun, but we appreciated how Stevenson Mechanical handled the replacement of our sump pump --from booking the appointment to the on-time arrival of our plumber and his friendly, competent service (which included persevering through some unexpected issues). Thank you for your expertise and excellent service!

Called just before noon, on a Friday, at 1:40 plumber arrived and fixed problem in 15 minutes. Very nice young man. I will be calling back soon for some quotes on other needs. Thank you so much to the receptionist for reaching out to staff and arranging such prompt service. Today had old gas fireplace removed. Yet again outstanding service, owner came to assist very quickly. Answered all my questions. Thanks guys.

This company is great! We needed to have our air conditioning unit disconnected and moved temporarily as we were getting our backyard patio redone. They were able to accommodate our last minute request, they completed the work quickly and got our unit reconnected just in time to beat the heat ! I would highly recommend them!
