Find your fireplace built for a Manitoba winter.
Winnipeg runs cold enough that gas fireplaces are standard in city homes, Manitoba Hydro's low electricity rates make electric units an easy add anywhere, and wood heat still carries the load at Whiteshell and Interlake cabins. Tell us your postal code and we'll connect you with a trusted local dealer and a free Project Guide & Parts List for your home.
Every Project Starts From One of These Five Situations
Manitoba's cold splits into three heating patterns.
Manitoba's winters are among the coldest of any major-city climate on Earth—Red River Valley cold snaps push well below -30°C in Winnipeg, while the western parkland runs a touch milder and conditions turn genuinely subarctic heading north toward Thompson. That range shapes what people install. In the city, gas fireplaces dominate for their reliable heat through a stretch of winter that can rival Regina or Saskatoon for sheer duration. Everywhere in the province, Manitoba Hydro's inexpensive electricity makes electric fireplaces an easy, low-fuss addition. And out at the cabins around Whiteshell Provincial Park, Riding Mountain, and the Interlake, wood heat remains the practical default when the power's not the main event.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many BTUs do I need in a fireplace?
Wrong question—and the industry's favorite way to confuse you. More BTUs isn't better if the fireplace cooks you out of the room you spent thousands to enjoy. Think in terms you can verify: how many square feet the unit heats, whether it's primary or backup heat, and whether you want it running overnight. Those three answers size a fireplace correctly every time.
Will we actually use a fireplace once we have one?
In my own home, the room with the fireplace has never been the same—it became the social hub. Game nights, holidays, date nights after the kids are down: the fire is where the house gathers. There's a reason people in this industry joke that we're really in the romance and entertainment business. You won't wonder whether you'll use it; you'll wonder how the room worked before.
Can a fireplace actually lower my heating bill?
Yes—by creating a comfort zone. A furnace heats every square foot of the house just to warm the one room you're in; a gas fireplace on low burns roughly a sixth of the gas a typical furnace does. Set the furnace around 55–60 degrees as a baseline, then heat the rooms your family actually uses. Families who heat this way commonly save $20–$60 a month.
Does a fireplace add value to my home?
On average, a fireplace adds back to the home about the same amount you spent installing it. Add the monthly savings from heating the rooms you actually use instead of the whole house—often hundreds of dollars a year—and the value case is strong before you even count what a fire does for how your family uses the room.
