Business highlights
52 years of trusted experience
Services we offer
Gas fireplaces ,wood fireplaces,gas logs and inserts for fireplaces, wood burning stoves & inserts, Glass enclosures for fireplaces, mantels.
After we were denied services, we left to investigate further options. The C grade is related to the kindness of the employee delivering the "company policy". Otherwise, the grade would have been lower.
Description of Work: We are looking for a reputable fireplace service for two fireplaces in our home. Customers Note: Obviously, this company does not need any business, as we were told they do not provide service for anyone during the fall and winter seasons for persons who did not purchase their fireplace unit from them. Since we purchased our home with the existing fireplaces, we did not choose our fireplace vendor. I am sure other customers may fall into the same category. We were given the name of a fireman, "who services units on side". If you are looking for a service company, this company is not an open facility to everyone, but they are selective in their clients.

They are very nice, answered all my questions, came out in a timely manner and cleaned up after themselves. They even offer a chimney service as well. I have had a very good experience with them.

Description of Work: The Fireplace Center was great with price, installation and follow up. The men where on time, did an excellent job of installation and clean up. I had a question on the stove piping and thought there might be a problem and asked to have it checked out. The men who did the installation where out the next day and put my concerns to rest. There had been some shinning area on the stove piping and thought the pipe joint had moved, but in fact some of the black paint had just been missed on installation. A little touch up and all was good. A very nice job and done well.

Description of Work: We purchased a wood stove for our home and arranged installation through The Fireplace Center. They worked with our carpenters to assure a safe and beautiful project. Their installer, John, came by afterwards to help us understand the bells and whistles that came with our stove so we could get the most heat from our wood. He helped us to adjust it to keep a fire overnight too. Did you know a stove can come with side shelves to keep stuff warm without being too hot? Or that some can come with mitten warmers/ sock dryers? Too Cool! Visit their shop to see what can happen for you. (I know, it sounds like an advertisement, but my wife and I now spend a lot of time sitting and talking in front of the fire instead of silently waiting for the TV to entertain us.)

They were very good. They are fairly close, they had a unit that we liked, they had a competitive price, and they did a really good job.
Description of Work: We converted a wood burning fireplace to a gas log fireplace last year with The Fireplace Center. We also moved a unit from one place to another.

They did a good job, and the quality of work was good. However, when I called them initially, they were not interested in coming out and servicing it because it did not necessarily come from them, and my general contractor had to convince them to come out. I would use them again in the future if necessary.
Description of Work: I used The Fireplace Center to check if the existing gas fireplace in the house was in proper working order and make any repairs that were needed.

They were very punctual and knowledgeable. They follow through what they say they're going to do. The prices did not change from the quote. They are overall excellent and if I ever needed anything to do with fireplace, they are the only one I'd go.
Description of Work: I used The Fireplace Center for removal of our old fireplace insert and install a new one about nine months ago.

It went well. These folks are very helpful in the store. The chimney cap they put on didn't hold, so they came out and put a different one on. About 6 months after installation, the blower fan on our stove acted up, and they replaced it no charge.
Description of Work: Installed Lopi Freedom Fireplace Insert, with brass door and stove pipe up through chimney.

We went into the store in Bloomington. The sales staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the products available and willing to help us since we wanted to install the unit ourselves. My husband went back the next morning and they had everything ready to be picked up along with everything we needed to install it ourselves. It was a joy to work with people who understand do-it-yourselfers.

I am very happy with their work, they were absolutely flawless. They have an extensive inventory in their showroom, so you can select exactly what you want. They are very knowledgeable about their products specifically, and about fireplaces in general. Their installers were obviously very qualified and took a lot of extra time and care to not damage the door frames as they brought it in. Their original quote is exactly what the final cost was, they didn't tack on any extra fees. They traveled from Bloomington to Monrovia to do an estimate at no cost. The owner's name is Terry MacMorran. I also worked a lot with Brad King in the showroom. Greg and Dick were the installers, and they all did an amazing job. I highly recommend them, if you are looking for this kind of service, you should absolutely use these people!
Description of Work: They removed an old fireplace insert and hauled it away. They installed a new fireplace insert. They also installed a new chimney pipe.

The Fireplace Center had the unit in stock and scheduled the installation for us. The installers called ahead to let us know they were on schedule, and worked for three days to complete the installation. The unit was large, heavy, and complex, with air intakes and a remote blower. The workers were punctual, polite, professional, and neat. They were also prepared with parts and tools, and the installation went smoothly. They reinstalled vinyl siding on the exterior, with new pieces to frame the new vents. Their work was very good, and they worked with us to install custom framing for a corner fireplace installation, with additional blocking where heavy mantels would be attached to the new wall. We were very pleased with the quality of the work and the overall professionalism of the workers.
Description of Work: We had a zero-clearance wood burning fireplace unit installed. This included installation of a metal flue and chimney and air intakes installed on the exterior, as well as interior framing for a stone facade.
