Pellet Fireplaces

Why Families Choose Pellet Fireplaces

A pellet fireplace is built into the wall like a gas or wood fireplace, but it burns clean, affordable pellets you control from a thermostat. It’s a small category, and an honest one: for the new build or the remodel where you want pellet heat without a freestanding stove on the floor, this is the unit. Pellets burn clean and consistent, and they are affordable, available, and renewable.

Harman builds the ones we carry, and the sizing works like a stove’s—match the heating-area figure on the product page to the rooms you live in. The fire is active and robust—a small fire can burn an inch high, while a powerful 10-inch blaze is bright and intense. Automatic thermostats and temperature controls do the work for you—just keep your hopper filled.

A pellet fireplace needs framing, a vent to the outside, and an outlet, all planned before the wall closes up. Pellets are normally available in 40 lb. bags. A 1,500 sq. ft. home will use 2-4 tons per season, on average. Our trained in-house team handles the framing, the vent, and a safe, code-compliant installation, and we service what we sell. Price a unit below—and if a pellet stove or a pellet insert would serve the room better, we’ll say so.

We purchased a propane fireplace from Hearths A'Fire and had little to no experience with installation or maintenance. The customer service here is exceptional. I cant say enough about a gentleman by the name of Brian. He has gone far above and beyond for me in any time of need. He's about as professional and personable as anyone I've encountered and has truly shown he cares. He recently came with another very helpful gentleman by the name of Luke, even when their schedules are packed, to help me resolve a maintenance issue. Im truly thankful for the customer service I've received from these folks. Highly recommended!

More questions & answers

How much does a pellet fireplace cost installed?

It depends on the unit and on what your room actually needs. Every unit on this page carries a price tier ($ to $$$$), and the instant estimate narrows it to your project in about two minutes—the unit, the venting it needs, and the installation together. Your in-home evaluation makes it exact before anything is ordered.

Pellet fireplace, pellet stove, or pellet insert—which do I want?

A fireplace is built into a new wall; an insert goes into an existing masonry fireplace; a stove stands on the floor. If you have an open fireplace, start with the insert. If you have a blank wall and want the built-in look, this page. If you want the simplest installation, the stove.

Does it need electricity?

Yes—the auger and the fans run on power. Ask us about backup options if outages are part of your winter.

How many pellets will I burn?

Pellets are normally available in 40 lb. bags. A 1,500 sq. ft. home will use 2-4 tons per season, on average.

Who installs it, and what about service afterward?

We install what we sell—our trained in-house team handles a safe, code-compliant installation with attention to detail—and we service what we sell, so we’ll be here long after installation to make sure everything works the way it should.
