Burning Log
With the best selection of wood, electric, and gas fireplaces in Ottawa-as well as inserts, and more-The Burning Log is your fireplace destination. Whether you're upgrading an existing installation or creating a whole new experience in your home, we're here to ignite the possibilities. Add a natural gas fireplace to your Ottawa home to enjoy warmth and comfort with total control.

We also carry gas inserts for your convenience. For unrivaled flexibility, you can count on an electric fireplace-whether to keep you warm or simply add ambiance to your favourite room is up to you. A wood pellet stove is a cost-effective, clean, and smoke-free way to heat your home through the fall and winter, keeping you cozy for less.

It started in 1978 as little more than an idea. Today we continue to serve the Ottawa area with experience and professionalism-from our family, to yours. There's nothing better than curling up by a roaring fireplace with your favourite book on a cold winter night, as the comforting smell of firewood and sound of crackling logs fill the air.
Services
The story of The Burning Log starts with a man named Lou Bourada. In 1965, Lou left his previous career at the Ottawa Fire Department to begin an exciting new venture: a swimming pool company. From a humble beginning on Churchill Avenue in Ottawa's historic Westboro neighbourhood, Poolarama was born-but that was just the beginning.
When you picture yourself curled up next to a crackling fire, reading a good book and perhaps sipping a cup of cocoa, chances are, you're picturing a beautiful wood stove or wood-burning fireplace. At Burning Log, we know that for many, nothing compares to the smell and sound of a real wood fire, and over the years we have provided countless customers with stunning wood-burning heating options to suit their unique needs.
If you want the flames, but don't want the messy cleanup associated with a traditional wood fireplace, then a natural gas fireplace, insert, or stove is the perfect fit for your home. Natural gas is a safe, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly way to add warmth and comfort to your home.
Electric fireplaces are an inexpensive, low-maintenance, and no-fuss alternative to wood-burning or gas fireplaces. They are also completely safe and environmentally friendly! The Burning Log carries models by Dynasty Fireplaces, a premier manufacturer of energy-efficient and flexible electric fireplaces.
We don't just sell fireplaces! At The Burning Log, we're dedicated to the entire experience that fireplace ownership brings with it. For this reason, we also carry products for your home such as new and replacement fireplace doors, screens, and sets of beautifully-crafted fireplace tools.

Burning Log was great to deal with. Very responsive to call and emails.
Adam is very knowledgeable in both sales and on the technical side.
Installation crew were polite and clean.
I would definitely recommend the Burning Log.

7 phonecalls, 3 voicemails and 2 emails. We spoke to an agent twice and both times we were promised calls back and brochures. This never happened. Like other reviews here, it's like they don't want your money and are beyond rude. So disappointing.
Avoid.

We recently purchased a fireplace from Burning Log and had a positive experience! Despite the fact that we couldn’t visit the store in person due to Covid restrictions, Adam was very responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable on the product that would be best suited for our home. Adam answered our numerous questions through email and phone, and made sure we had everything we required for installation. We made a mistake in measuring our space and originally purchased a fireplace that was one size too big. We contacted Adam and he exchanged our fireplace for a smaller unit with no questions asked,

Steve was very knowledgeable and helpful. I really appreciated his assistance with my fireplace. I had a lot of questions and he took the time to answer them all. He went the extra mile with his service.
Thank You Very Much ❤️🔥

Hi, This is in response to your reply below:
I was actually unable to get a quote in-store despite being the only customer - I was told to send an email after I left, and I never did get a response. Please see the attached photo. The reason I am replying to this is to give you an opportunity to improve for future clients. I have since purchased 3 fireplaces from Clean Sweep in Perth. Thanks.
No interest in selling me a product. Would not give quotes in person - told to send email and still haven't heard back (so obviously not a same-day quote which is advertised on the website)

I called because I just broke my fireplace glass door. The gentleman that answered, a Friday night at past 5 O'clock, told me that he could order one, but to call a local glass shop would probably be cheaper. I REALLY appreciated his tip. When money is a result, not the goal, people give the right answer. Sir, you have all my respect.

We were looking at Gas Fireplaces. Adam was helpful and informative and gave us some good advice. He visited our home and gave us a quote. We ordered a fireplace and it was delivered to their store. Then we regrettably changed our mind and asked if we could cancel the order. Adam was most gracious and cancelled it with no penalty. We felt badly and asked him to to take a penalty payment but he did not.

I'd prefer to give no start, but that's not an option... My issue: a cheminey flashing ordered on Wednesday, expected on Thursday but not later then Friday. But on Saturday, still not delivered in the store... As a result, our contractor can't finish his job on the roof. The issue seemed to be the least of the Burning Log rep's concern... The guy didn't propose any solution order then an empty "oh well"... 😤
