Wood burning units have a long established history and continue the timeless tradition of bringing warmth and light to any home. Families still enjoy the nostalgic feel provided by the crackling sound, the dim scent of burning wood and the unique look of the flames.

Today’s wood fireplaces are built using the latest design technologies and are an efficient and and environmentally friendly heating option for any home.

These units, like the Napoleon® High Country, exceed the standards set by strict air-quality regulations set by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and use state-of-the-art technology to ensure lasting efficiency.

Gas burning units are one of the most flexible options available for home owners today. From zero-clearance design which simplifies installation to the direct venting technology that expels 100% of unwelcome moisture and combustion odors through the nearest outside wall or roof—these units have become some of the most efficient and cost effective solutions offered by today’s fireplace dealers.

Direct vent gas technology eliminates the need for an expensive chimney by venting directly through a wall or roof.

Wood Pellet inserts can convert your existing, drafty, masonry fireplace into an efficient, reliable heating source and the freestanding stoves provide zone heating furnace performance in practically any location in your home.

Made from of recycled sawdust and fiber byproducts, wood pellets are a renewable energy source that is environmentally friendly, economical and convenient to use. The stoves can be easily vented through the nearest wall or roof.

In 2008, over 800,000 American homeowners use wood pellets as an efficient heating source.

Electric units offer the ambiance of a real fireplace without the cost of gas or wood products. Most units simply plug into a 120V electrical outlet and are operational in just minutes. With a 99% maintenance-free design, an electric fireplace is a perfect solution if you live in a residential building, like an apartment or condominium, and do not have the ability to vent to the outside wall.

Another advantage of electric fireplaces is their portability. If you decide you want it in your bedroom rather then the family room—it is generally as easy as unplugging it from the outlet and moving it to the new location.

There are also other fuel options available in the market, such as:

• Corn
• Coal
• Gel Fuel

Depending on where you live and the availability of these fuels, they may be more cost effective heating options for your home.

Fireplace Warehouse can usually special order alternative fuel burning appliances.  Unfortunatley, we do not usually have these units on display.  If you have some questions about alternative fuels please send us an email and we may be able to help you.
