Wood Fireplaces for Central New York Winters

Why Families Choose Wood Fireplaces

A wood-burning fireplace brings the robust, steady fire that only real wood delivers—and today’s units are nothing like the open masonry fireplaces in the old farmhouses around here. A modern wood fireplace is a sealed steel firebox with a glass door and its own chimney system, built into a new wall or a remodel, that heats the home instead of the chimney. Expect robust, steady fires. Our wood products deliver powerful heating performance and efficiency.

Think of it as a wood stove that lives inside the wall: air-controlled burns, long burn times, and heat you can feel across the room—plus, when an ice storm takes the power out, a fire that needs nothing from the utility. Wood is natural and available, and it can supplement furnace usage and reduce heating costs up to 30%. Shapes run from traditional arched fronts to tall contemporary glass.

A wood fireplace is a construction project: framing, a chimney system, clearances, and finish work, all done to code. Our trained in-house team builds it from the framing out, and we service what we sell—including the annual cleaning that keeps a wood fireplace safe. Price any unit below, then come see wood fire burning in the showroom.

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 wood fireplace cost installed?

It’s the biggest project on this site—framing, a chimney system, and finish work ride on the room as much as on the unit. Every wood fireplace on this page carries a price tier, and the instant estimate narrows it to your project. Your in-home evaluation makes it exact before anything is ordered.

How is this different from the open fireplace in an old house?

An open masonry fireplace sends most of its heat up the chimney. A modern wood fireplace is a sealed firebox with a glass door and controlled air, so the heat comes into the room and the fire burns longer on less wood. Same crackle, very different heating bill.

How much firewood will I need?

Dry storage is important. A cord of wood is stacked 4'x4'x8'. On average, a 1,500 sq. ft. home will require 2-4 cords per season. Paper, kindling, and a fire-starting log are effective.

Does it work when the power is out?

Yes. A wood fireplace needs nothing from the utility to burn—only the optional blower needs power, and the fire heats the room with or without it. That’s the whole appeal in a Central New York winter.

Who builds it, and who cleans it 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. We schedule annual cleanings April through August.
