There are several options to choose from when starting from scratch or doing a conversion on a fireplace installation. When we say the term fireplace, we are referring to the installation of a “firebox” in front of an existing wall, or building the box into a newly constructed wall. It is important to consider the amount of heat produced (or BTU output) of each unit for the size of your room. From contemporary to traditional, the possibilities are endless!

Below are all of the possible fuel options available and information that you will find helpful during your design process. Click the Gas, Wood or Electric tabs. We no longer sell Pellet or Corn Stoves. We DO NOT sell Gas Fireplace Cash and Carry. However, we DO sell Electric Fireplaces Cash and Carry. Click the blue names below Gas Fireplace Suppliers to explore options.

Gas fireplaces offer several venting configurations:

  • Direct Vent: This is the most popular in our area. It uses a concentric pipe that can be rear vented straight out the back of the unit, up off the top and out the wall or straight out the top of the roof.
  • Vent-Free: This uses no chimney and is 99.9% efficient. This is not code to install in most counties in our area.
  • B-Vent: B-Vent takes its combustion air from the home and has to vent through the roof. These units run approximately 50-60% efficient and ar not as popular in our climate.

Gas fireplaces add ambiance and warmth to any room of the home - all from the touch of a button. Some of these units include a full function remote which controls the flame height (BTU output), Fan speed, Interior light and thermostat. Enjoy the comfort of a gas fireplace in your home with benefits that include low maintenance, cleanliness and efficiency.

Today’s wood burning fireplaces allow homeowners to enjoy a wood fire and still benefit from innovative technology in heating and efficiency. Our available units are all 2020 EPA certified and offer catalytic combustors or hybrid options. We offer a variety of sizes and styles.

You have choices in efficiency from:

  • Standard Decorative Fireplace: These fireplaces use air cooled pipe and run about 40% efficient with doors that open to enjoy the natural smell and crackling sound of a wood fire.
  • Mid-Efficiency Fireplace: These units also have doors that open to enjoy the fire, but also have features to help make them 50-60% efficient and can use air cooled or solid-pak class a chimney pipe for higher efficiency.
  • Hi-Efficiency Fireplace: High-efficiency fireplaces are air tight and control the combustion air that the fire uses to create efficiencies of up to 75%. These units use air cooled pipe or solid-pak to increase efficiency and ease of operation.
