Services
Direct Vent Inserts
Direct vent inserts provide efficient heating by drawing combustion air from outdoors while expelling exhaust through existing chimneys. These systems maintain indoor air quality by preventing heat loss through open dampers. Valor brand inserts offer realistic flames with remote-controlled temperature settings.
Gas Log Installations
We install vented and vent-free gas log sets with hand-painted ceramic fiber logs for natural aesthetics. Systems include safety features like ember beds and clean-burning burners. Professional installation ensures proper sizing and compliance with flue requirements.
Custom Glass Enclosures
Portland Willamette glass enclosures enhance fireplace efficiency while maintaining visual appeal. These made-in-Montana doors allow safe operation with closed doors, reducing heat loss by 250 cubic feet per minute. Available in 18 models and 26 finishes for masonry or prefabricated fireplaces.
Vent-Free Heating Systems
Empire Comfort Systems' vent-free fireplaces achieve 99.9% efficiency by eliminating chimney heat loss. These systems heat 780-1,125 sq ft spaces using 24" gas logs. Professional installation ensures safe operation without requiring chimney modifications.
Outdoor Fire Solutions
We offer propane and natural gas fire pits with customizable glass bead fillers. Products include Terra Flame lanterns and Desert Steel tiki torches for landscape enhancement. Outdoor gas systems provide controlled ambiance without wood-burning maintenance.
