Just this week we finished and installation that gives a great idea of how our gas inserts fit into a home décor. In addition, these units provide tremendous warmth on cold mornings and in the evening when the family gathers together. Our key installation team does a spectacular job in installing the equipment and we always get favorable reviews when the job is done.
In this case, the homeowner had the granite cut by an expert in that business and had it placed upon the fireplace prior to our install. The granite was a single slab and was cut to specs with design help from the homeowner.
Here is the fireplace before the installation:

Here is a picture of the fireplace after installation:

It’s that time of year. It’s starting to have chill in the air when the sun goes down and before the sun comes out. If you have a masonry fireplace you know how much time it takes to get the wood fire burning and heat the room to acceptable temperature. Also, you get discouraged with how much heat just goes up the chimney and not into the room.
Now you can turn your old fireplace into an efficient heat source with instant warmth!
Our fireplace inserts are designed to transform virtually any metal or masonry fireplace into an efficient source of heat. Traditional open fireplaces can have efficiency ratings as low as 15% and can let valuable heat disappear up the chimney. Our gas inserts achieve efficiency ratings as high as 86% and our EPA certified wood inserts as high as 71% with log size up to 24”. Wood inserts emit as little as 1.9 grams of particulates per hour, thus reducing pollutants by over 95%.
Both wood and gas inserts can work when there is a power outage and you can be warm and snuggly while your neighbors are in the dark and cold.
With our gas inserts we provide a wide range of beautiful faces and Architectural double doors to enhance your fireplace experience. These options, combined with reversible brick fireback, give your fireplace a look that is both appealing and modern.
The FireplaceXtrordinair award-winning Ember-Fyre combustion system is so realistic that many people mistake it for a real wood fire. Coupled with a modulating remote control, you can regulate the temperature, fan speed, and flame height from anywhere in the room.
Now is the time to come into our showroom and have one of our trained consultants help you to choose a system that is right for you. We have lots of options and will be sure that your choice is one that is right for your family and your pocketbook.

Many of our customers come to us and tell us that they are tired of sitting in front of that old masonry fireplace watching all that heat go up the chimney. Traditional open fireplaces can have an efficiency rating as low as 15% and, other than the enjoyment of the fire, they can draw heat out of the house.
We have a great selection of gas or wood inserts that are designed to turn almost any open metal or masonry fireplace into a very efficient source of heat and enjoyment. Our gas inserts achieve efficiency ratings as high as 86% and, in some cases, can heat a major portion of the house.
In addition to the efficiency of these inserts, you can customize the look and feel of the fireplace. We offer a large selection of attractive faces, clean looking surround panels and optional firebrick selections. In most cases you and your guests will think that the fireplace was designed to be that complementary to your home.
A big plus in our gas inserts is our patented Ember-Fyre combustion burner system whick delivers both efficient heat and and an appearance similar to a real wood fire. Our customers also love the ease of use of the remote control and the dynamic fan system which keeps the heat coming.
Many of our rural customers love the convenience of wood inserts. A wood burning insert can keep you warm and self-sufficient in the event of bad weather or an electrical outage. Wood inserts heat evenly utilizing our new combustion chambers. Smokeless start-up and reloading are a unique part of our product offering. With our wood inserts fires burn longer and with greater efficiency and they are EPA approved.
We have extensive displays of both wood and gas inserts in our Gilroy showroom at 6205 Engle Way (408-842-6570) and our showroom in San Carlos at 1300 Industrial Road, #17 (650-593-1496. Come on in and get out of the cold!
