My wife and I have a fireplace that was purchased and installed 20 years ago and now in a bad way. It needed replacing or certainly repaired. The question facing us at that time was buy new or repair the old. The added challenge was finding someone that was knowledgeable enough and with fair pricing to complete the task. My research revealed to purchase a new fireplace with installation, would cost me somewhere in the vicinity of $5000. plus tax. (I spoke with three different fireplace installation companies and they were relatively the same regarding their quotes).
I researched HOMESTARS and found GAS FIREPLACE SERVICES &REPAIR. I placed a call to the sole proprietor of the company Mr. Imran EMAMDEE. He invited me to take a photo or two of the interior of the fireplace. I did so and emailed them off to him. He contacted me to arrange a visit. He attended at my home and I noticed that he respected our home. He took off his shoes at the door and brought a blanket to spread out in front of the fireplace. He dismantled the fireplace cleaning everything with his vacuum. He advised me that the fireplace was in need of sensors and valves and gave me an estimate of what the repair would cost if it was to work as it did when it was new. I told Inram I was prepared to pay for the additional parts if he could assure me that the fireplace would work like new when he completed his work. He gave me that assurance.
He took the fireplace chassis away with him to facilitate additional work on it in his shop. A few days later he returned with the chassis. I noticed that he had replaced essentially everything. New wires, valves, sensors, cleaned and painted. He performed many tasks that I doubt other larger installers would undertake. He cleaned out the gas line and touched up the interior with spray paint. During his time at my home he explained to me that he has been in the fireplace business both in Canada and abroad for over thirty years in all phases such as engineering, building, design, installation and repair. His knowledge of the operation of a fireplace was quite evident as I watched him repair my unit. When completed, he invited me to call my wife into the room to enable her the pleasure of viewing the repaired fireplace. He added a few things to the fireplace (that you will have to ask him about) that enhanced the operation of the flame. Quite simply, the fireplace worked better after 20 years that it did when it was new.
Inram is a rare individual. He is personable and qualified well beyond expectations. I am suggesting that there is quite simply no one in the field of fireplace service and repair as qualified and with as much experience and expertise as Mr. Inram Emamdee.
I must caution the reader however that this man is in high demand. He works long hours with current and potential customers calling him from all over Ontario. If you are fortunate enough to have this man attend at your home you will be amazed with the vast amount of knowledge he possesses in the field of fireplace service and repair. His pricing is fair and his service is exceptional. My wife and I are so pleased with his work and the finished product. Hopefully we can get him back to the house in a few years to service our unit.
Thank you Inram for a job well done and what you did was totally beyond our expectations.

I purchased a new home with a gas fireplace and wanted to have it properly inspected and repaired so that I would be sure it was safe to use. I submitted a quote request through homestars and Imran contacted me right away and came the next day even though he is extremely busy. Imran is very experienced and knowledgeable and likes to educate his clients about their product which I greatly appreciated. He walked me through his whole inspection process, gave me an honest recommendation and quote for repair and had it all completed in a couple of days. The fireplace was actually quite old and rusted and Imran had it looking and working like a brand new fireplace. I am so glad I chose to contact gas fireplace services and repairs and will definitely use this company again in future if needed.

Our 20 year old fireplace that we really never used because it gave off nasty smells is working like a charm thanks to Imran. He cleaned it up, set it up properly and was a delight to have in our home. We appreciated his honesty and professionalism. God bless you Imran. Thank you!

Imran came and checked the Gas fireplace. The fireplace is old and Imran had some ideas but he suggested we wait until we can't live with it the way it is. There are parts that will need a total replacement at a much higher cost. Very impressed with the honesty.

After doing extensive search, I decided to give Imran a call to see what could be done with my fireplace that would not turn on after the pilot light was turned off last year. The fireplace was 25 years old and I'm pretty certain that the previous home owners did 0 maintenance. Imran came out to see my fireplace and told me honestly what needed to be done. I decided to go with Imran because his prices were extremely competitive and he was just a nice, honest guy overall. You can't buy good character.

The job was actually larger than what Imran had initially thought - the extent of neglect on the fireplace was alarming. He did not cut corners and had to push back other jobs that were lined up on the day of to ensure that the fireplace was up to his standards. I could not believe the end result! It was amazing! It was as if I had a whole new fireplace. I am extremely happy with the end result and can now enjoy a nice warm fireplace in the family room. I highly recommend Imran for his services.

Imran is a very professional, friendly fellow, very knowledgeable and patient. His work speaks for itself. He has serviced four gas fireplaces at two homes for me, both were in serious need of repair and cleaning. Imran sized up at the work at a glance and delivered service even better than expected. The fireplaces hardly glowed red prior to cleaning. After a couple of hours they were radiant, glowing embers with a large flame. I look forward to hiring him again soon.

I called Imran in late 2018 to repair what another repair company could not do....I called him a Wizard then and now after two years, my pilot light would not stay lit...I call Imran to the rescue. He came when he said he would, completely cleaned and repaired what needed fixing and left my home as if he had never been there. A complete professional, knowledgeable, gets right to the problem, communicates thoroughly, and
all for an extremely reasonable cost. (far less than a new fireplace) Look no further than this man to repairs your gas fireplace.....He is a wizard!!!!

have 2 gas fireplaces; one needed cleaning and the other needed a repair. we were told we needed to buy a new insert (very expensive). had Gas fireplace services & repair come in and they found the problem and fixed it!!! excellent service. highly recommend.

Imran installed a new gas log set from RealFyre - Wow it looks amazing, I can't describe how much I appreciate his service. Imran was a pleasure to deal with. He provided the utmost quality service and went above and beyond my expectations. I'm thrilled with my gas log fireplace and would recommend Irma more than 10 stars ! I will defiantly recommend Imran to other with confidence ! Thank you so much Imran!

Thanks to a visit from Imran a few years ago (when our fireplace was acting up), we knew that our gas fireplace had an outdated mercury switch that would soon stop working entirely and need to be replaced. Once that happened we knew we wanted to have Imran back to do the job. He assured us that he would be able to do the repair which saved us thousands of dollars compared to replacing the entire unit.

Imran is an honest person who works diligently to do the very best job he can for his customers for a reasonable price. In under a week from my first call to him he had come once to inspect the unit and a second time to do the repair. In about 5 hours he had our fireplace working and looking as good as new. Imran is not just an excellent technician who does quality work, but also a wonderful person. You can trust him to do the very best for you.
