Penguin Fire Place

A fireplace is a fireplace is a fireplace. Unless, of course, that fireplace happens to be a Mendota gas fireplace or gas fireplace insert. Every Mendota fire burns with the quiet confidence of a century-old tradition of craftsmanship and gas technology. Look closely, and you'll find details such as true full-seam welding, heavy-gauge steel and careful hand assembly that deliver on the promise of a lifetime of comfort. Choosing a Mendota luxury fireplace feels like an indulgence as you gaze at the incredible, authentic fire or browse the array of designer fronts and doors.

Mendota's award-winning gas fireplaces, gas fireplace inserts and gas stoves are designed and built by the Mendota® Hearth division of Johnson Gas Appliance Co. For more than 110 years, Johnson Gas has been a leader in gas technologies. Founded in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1901, that's where the headquarters of our family-owned company remain today. In addition to quality hearth products, Johnson Gas designs and manufactures a diverse range of gas-powered appliances. Fortune 500 companies such as Ford, Boeing and General Electric use our line of heat treating furnaces to make everything from automobiles to appliances better and safer.

Purchasing a fireplace is an important decision, and information is a powerful ally. The right fireplace will complement your dcor, supplement your heating appliances and maintain safe air quality throughout your house. Find all that you're looking for and more right here, or contact your Authorized Mendota® Dealer. Direct vent fireplaces draw combustion air from the outdoors and exhaust their combustion products to the outdoors-eliminating the need for a chimney. The combustion system should be sealed from the living area to assure high air quality, maximum efficiency and trouble-free operation in today's tightly insulated homes.
