Fireplaces, Propane, and Outdoor Gas for Isthmus Living

Gas fitting in Oyama means understanding propane as well as natural gas and understanding that the two come with different regulator, line sizing, and venting considerations. Many Oyama orchard homes run on propane tanks, and a gas fireplace, stove, or BBQ hookup on propane needs an installer who actually knows the difference. Wood-to-gas conversions are popular here too and orchard homeowners are tired of splitting and stacking cord after cord for heritage wood stoves that smoke more than they heat.

Stevenson Mechanical's BC-certified gas fitters handle every gas job in Oyama. Freestanding gas stoves and fireplace inserts in orchard farmhouses, BBQ and fire-pit lines for Wood Lake and Kalamalka lakefront entertaining, appliance hookups, furnace gas connections, new line installs for additions and suites, and leak detection. Propane or natural gas! We carry same certification, same code compliance, same paper trail for your insurer.

Why Stevenson

Why Oyama Trusts Us with Fireplaces & Gas

Propane + Natural Gas Certified

Most Oyama properties run propane — which has different regulator, line sizing, and venting considerations. We're certified and experienced in both, not just the urban natural gas side.

Fireplace Design Help

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

Fully Permitted Work

Permits pulled, inspections booked, paper trail complete. Insurance and resale on rural properties depend on it.

Small-Community Priority

Oyama gets the same scheduling and follow-up as any larger community. We don't treat rural addresses as afterthoughts.

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!

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!
