Licensed, CSIA-certified technicians providing expert fireplace insert installation to homeowners across Malibu and the coastal Santa Monica Mountains.
An open fireplace sends up to 90 percent of its heat up the chimney. Malibu homeowners can dramatically improve heating efficiency by installing a fireplace insert. Eco Grizzly installs gas, wood-burning, pellet, and electric inserts throughout Malibu Beach, Point Dume, Malibu Colony, Malibu Park, Topanga Canyon, Latigo Canyon, Las Virgenes Canyon. Every installation includes a new stainless steel flue liner, trim kit, and full testing to ensure safe, efficient operation.
We are a local, licensed, and insured contractor with deep knowledge of Malibu and the coastal Santa Monica Mountains. Our technicians understand the unique needs of oceanfront estates, canyon homes, ranch properties, and modern architectural residences and the specific building code requirements for each municipality. Every job starts with a thorough assessment, includes a written estimate with photos, and ends with a clean jobsite. We arrive on time, communicate clearly, and stand behind our work with a written guarantee.
The oceanfront estates, canyon homes, ranch properties, and modern architectural residences in Malibu feature a wide range of fireplace types, from original masonry fireplaces to modern factory-built systems. We service all types and carry parts for major brands including Heat & Glo, Heatilator, Napoleon, Majestic, and Regency. Whether your home needs a routine cleaning or a complete fireplace transformation, we have the expertise and materials to deliver results that match your home's character.
An outdated or poorly maintained fireplace wastes energy and drives up heating costs. Our fireplace insert installation service for Malibu homeowners focuses on sealing air leaks, improving combustion efficiency, and maximizing heat output. For open masonry fireplaces, we can install glass doors, damper-top caps, or fireplace inserts that capture heat that would otherwise escape up the chimney.
