    Types of Fireplaces

    We carry all types of fireplaces from the top names in the industry, including Napoleon, Marquis, and Astria. Here’s an overview of our products:

    Gas, propane, and wood inserts

    Inserts are retrofit fireplace units that fit into masonry fireplaces, creating clean-burning heat sources. Gas inserts use natural or propane gas; wood inserts provide a wood fire charm with better efficiency.

    Electric fireplaces

    Electric fireplaces are convenient and low-maintenance heating solutions that mimic the look and feel of real flames. Electric fireplaces come in wall-mounted, freestanding, and built-in models without the need for venting or storing fuel.

    Gas stoves

    Gas stoves are freestanding heating appliances that use natural gas or propane to provide efficient and even heat distribution. Gas stoves come in a range of styles, from traditional to contemporary, and often feature realistic flame patterns.

    Direct vent fireplaces

    Direct vent fireplaces are highly efficient and versatile. Direct vent fireplaces draw in outside air for combustion and expel exhaust gases directly outdoors through a sealed vent system.

    Wood-burning stoves

    Wood-burning stoves use wood as fuel to produce radiant heat. They’re known for their rustic charm and can efficiently heat large spaces while adding a cozy and traditional atmosphere to your home.

    Tips for Selecting the Right Fireplace

    Before booking a fireplace installation or fireplace replacement, consider these factors when choosing your new fireplace:

    Determine your heating needs

    Consider the size of the space you want to heat and your preferred level of warmth. Gas and wood-burning fireplaces tend to provide more substantial heat output, making them suitable for larger areas, while electric fireplaces are better suited for zone heating or smaller spaces.

    Select the fuel type

    Fireplaces come in various fuel options. Gas fireplaces offer convenience and clean-burning flames while wood-burning fireplaces provide a traditional and cozy experience. Electric fireplaces are low-maintenance and versatile. Choose the fuel type that aligns with your heating needs and lifestyle.

    Consider installation and venting

    The type of fireplace you select will determine the fireplaces installation and venting requirements. Wood-burning fireplaces need a chimney, while gas fireplaces may require direct venting. Electric fireplaces are the most flexible, as they often don’t require any venting.

    Style and design

    Fireplaces can be a focal point of your home’s décor. Consider the style and design that best suits your interior. Traditional, modern and contemporary fireplaces options are available, along with various finishes and materials.

    Energy efficiency

    Energy efficiency is a crucial consideration, especially if you plan to use your fireplace as a primary heat source. Look for fireplaces models with high-efficiency ratings to minimize heat loss and reduce energy costs.
