Shipping will be determined by the job. All of our units are custom made, so we do not have an off the shelf unit.

How can I see your Product?

Do you have Vent Free Fireplaces?

NO! Please understand, as safe as some manufacturers claim, there is no such thing as a vent free gas unit. If you see ANY yellow flame, that is Carbon Monoxide and Soot. Gas that burnes Blue is combusted fuel ( But not all of it ) Do not take chances with your life.

Why are your Units so Expensive?

Two Reasons, Either Made in Europe and Imported to the USA ( Euro vs.Dollar ) or Made in CONNECTICUT by Americans, Not China.

What is Direct Vent and B-Vent?

Direct vent is a Co-Axial vent pipe. It must be used with Direct vent units. The pipe has a pipe within the pipe, one for fresh air in and one for exhaust. It can vent Vertical or Horizontally.
B-Vent is a Gas vent only, Not to be confused with double wall chimney pipe. This pipe is for gas appliances only and not for solid fuel.  Most of our units will be B-Vent. This uses inside air to combust and with a power vent can run up, down, sideways. The B-vent is not intended for heating. The DIrect Vent is rated as a heater.

I want to Install your gas burner with my fireplace doors closed, OK?

NOT OK, Any Burner that goes into a pre-existing fireplace, Must be used with Damper Fully open and Doors Fully open. Closing the doors ( despite the fresh air intake ) will not be enough oxygen to burn the fuel.

We are the Only company that is forcing the Europeans to use Catalytic combustors in their wood stoves, Designed by Us.  All of the Gas product does not leave our facility till tested for gas leaks with an open flame. If there is a leak, we will find it, not our customers!
