About this service
A wood burning stove is a standalone heating unit that radiates warmth into a room more efficiently than an open hearth. These stoves are great if you want to add a heating source to a space that doesn't have a traditional fireplace. You need one if you are looking for a reliable backup heat source or a primary way to warm up a living area. We help you determine the right placement and ensure the venting is installed correctly for fire safety.
Summer might seem like an odd time to think about fire, but it is actually the smartest window to plan your installation. Contractors often have more flexibility in their schedules, which can make the process smoother for you. Getting your fireplace project finished during the warmer months means you are completely prepared to enjoy those first cozy nights of fall.
