Find the right hearth for your Island home.
From North Shore to West Prince, PEI homes heat without mains gas—oil, electricity, wood, and pellet carry the load through damp, windy Gulf of St. Lawrence winters. Tell us your postal code and we'll help you find a trusted local dealer and a free Project Guide & Parts List for your project.
Every Project Starts From One of These Five Situations
There's no mains gas on the Island, so wood and pellet do the work oil used to do.
Prince Edward Island's winters are shaped by water on every side—windy, snowy, and damp rather than dry-cold like the Prairies, with average lows that settle into the minus teens on the harder nights. It reads milder on paper than a Winnipeg or Regina winter, but the wind coming off the Gulf of St. Lawrence cuts through in a way the thermometer doesn't capture. Because there's no natural gas distribution network on the Island, PEI homes have always heated differently than most of the country: oil furnaces, electric baseboard, and a long tradition of wood heat. As oil prices and availability have pushed homeowners to switch, wood stoves and pellet appliances have become two of the busiest hearth categories in Atlantic Canada, from the North Shore down through Charlottetown Harbour, along Points East Coastal Drive, and out into West Prince.
This page is a starting point, not a storefront—Find My Fireplace doesn't sell or ship hearth equipment, and we don't take manufacturer money to steer you toward a brand. We help Island homeowners find a trusted local dealer who knows what's actually available, permitted, and ventable on PEI, then hand you a free planning packet for the project. Browse by region or city below, or use the fuel selector to jump straight to what fits your home.

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.
What's the best fireplace for power outages?
Wood wins outright—no electricity, no moving parts, just fuel and a match, and a radiant stove keeps heating with the grid down for weeks. Gas is a close second: battery-backup ignition runs the fireplace fine without power (the blower stops, but radiant heat keeps coming). Pellet is the one to check carefully—most models need electricity for the auger and fans, so ask about battery backup.
I know I want a fireplace—where do I actually start?
Do two things today: snap a photo of the wall or fireplace you want to transform, and take a tape measure to the space—width, height, depth. Those two artifacts answer most of a hearth professional's first questions. Then settle fuel (wood, gas, pellet, or electric) and set a realistic budget: $3,900–$5,500 covers fireplace, vent, and basic install for most homes.
