Sunken Fire Pits & Above Ground Fire Pits

Our team can design and build both sunken firepits, also known as in-ground fire pits, and above-ground fire pits. Both offer custom designs and materials to create a cozy and inviting space to hang out with friends and family late into the night.

Installing sunken fire pits is a slightly more complex project, the need to excavate and build out the seating can make it slightly more invasive. However, the results are amazing! Above-ground fit pits are easier to install, and they provide you with a lot more flexibility when it comes to placement. Fire pits that are built above ground can be built on decks, patios, under a pergola, or anywhere else you like.

Quality Materials for Your Outdoor Fireplace

Outdoor fireplaces for Toronto homes are available in a broad range of styles and materials. Each type of material has a unique set of advantages and limitations. Our team has extensive experience transforming outdoor spaces with premium materials, building and repairing outdoor fireplaces. Here are some of the top materials for outdoor fireplaces.

Concrete Outdoor Fireplaces

Concrete fireplaces and fire pits are incredibly durable and designed to withstand harsh weather conditions year-round. At Action Home Services, we recommend using 100% concrete during construction to ensure long-lasting results. Let our team help design and build a fireplace that lets you entertain your loved ones and make every experience memorable.

Cast Iron Fireplaces

Cast iron fireplaces (outdoor) are the most common in Toronto homes, and for a good reason. They’re highly durable and have better visual appeal than most types of outdoor fireplaces. However, they also have some drawbacks. For instance, cast iron is highly susceptible to rust and requires routine maintenance to prevent that.

Copper Outdoor Fireplaces

Copper outdoor fireplaces are durable and don’t rust like cast-iron fire pits. However, copper discolours quickly. That means after installation and use, your copper fireplace might lose its glistering golden sheen and turn into dull green. If you don’t mind this change, copper fireplaces are durable and ideal for outdoor installation.

Stainless Steel Fireplaces

If you need a perfect fireplace for your outdoor area, stainless steel is a good option. It’s incredibly durable and resistant to various forms of corrosion, including rust. However, stainless fireplaces are expensive and heavy. The latter makes the fireplace installation process more challenging, which could slightly increase the labour cost.

Cast Aluminum Fireplaces

Cast aluminum fireplaces aren’t as common as cast iron ones. However, cast aluminum is one of the best-suited materials for outdoor fireplaces or fire pits in Toronto. It is resistant to rust and corrosion and requires minimal maintenance. Cast aluminum is relatively lighter than stainless steel and cast iron, which makes the entire installation process easier.

The AHS team helps homeowners compare different fireplace materials and make informed decisions. We’re here to help you bring warmth to your backyard in a way that meets industry safety standards and enhances the aesthetic appeal of your dream home.

Fireplace Installation: Gas or Electric Fireplace?

While there’s a wide selection of fireplace designs and materials, only two fuel options are available to Toronto property owners – electricity and gas. Work closely with our technicians to compare the two fuel types and select the one that best meets your needs. Here are the factors our team will help you assess so you can choose the right fireplace for your house’s exterior.

Heat Output & Efficiency

When comparing gas fireplaces and electric fireplaces, consider heat output and overall efficiency. Gas fireplaces (both vented and ventless) have a higher British Thermal Units (BTU) than electric fireplaces. Gas fireplaces generate BTU between 20,000 and 40,000 per hour. More power equals consistent heat and steady flames.

On the other hand, electric fireplaces’ BUTs generate 3,000 to 10,000 per hour. This implies a lower heat output. Therefore, a gas fireplace is a better choice if you prefer a higher heat output for your backyard or rooms (if installed inside your home).

Fireplace Installation

Gas fireplaces require complex installations and often cost more than an electric fireplace unit. However, once installed, you will have a long-term heating solution in your backyard. On the other hand, electric fireplaces are easy to install. Our technicians will assess your property’s electrical load and voltage before installation.

Maintenance & Safety

From our experience, gas fireplaces require a higher level of maintenance than electric ones. You must schedule routine cleaning and annual inspection to ensure your fireplace is energy-efficient and safe. On the other hand, electric fireplaces require minimal to no maintenance. Once in a while, you will need to call an expert to clean the unit and remove any accumulated dust.

Appearance & Ambience

A natural gas fireplace produces flickering flames, creating a warm and comfortable feeling in your outdoor area. You can customize the flame height in some units to create the unique appearance of a traditional wood-burning fireplace. You can also customize the fireplace’s log sets, finish options, and match its style with your home’s trim.

Electric fireplaces come in different styles and designs, which means Toronto homeowners have a variety to choose from. You can customize the heat and lighting of your electric fireplace using a thermostat or a remote control. These fireplaces also let you turn the LED on or off to set different moods in your outdoor area.

Cost

The cost of gas and electric fireplaces differs significantly. Gas fireplaces cost range from $3,500 to $15,000 or higher. The cost of operating the fireplace usually depends on the local gas costs and how often you need it.

An electric fireplace, on the other hand, does not require gas. However, the frequency of use may increase the cost of the electricity bill. It costs between $300 $7,500, depending on the size and other factors. These fireplaces are easier to install.

Fire Features for Any Space

By installing one of these fire features in your home, you can create an inviting atmosphere that will make your home stand out from others in the neighborhood. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot to relax on cool evenings or a place to entertain guests, an outdoor fireplace or fire feature from Action Home Services is sure to impress.

Our fire features are fully customizable to suit your space, style, and needs—whether it’s a sleek gas fire bowl for a modern patio or a classic stone fireplace as the focal point of your backyard. They pair beautifully with seating areas, outdoor kitchens, or pergolas, offering warmth, ambiance, and an extra layer of comfort that extends your outdoor living season well into the fall.
