Choose Your Next Fireplace | Gas, Wood & Electric Fireplaces

Have you been thinking about a new fireplace for your home? Since 2007, American Chimney & Fireplace of Louisville, KY, has been helping homeowners just like you connect with the fireplace of their dreams.

Zero-Clearance Fireplaces Highlights

There’s a lot to love about sturdy zero-clearance (ZC) fireplaces that run on either gas or wood. All models meet EPA emissions standards and bring a range of important benefits:

Strong and Safe

“Zero-clearance” means the appliance can be safely installed close to walls and other home building materials. Heavy-duty insulation keeps everything safe and code-compliant.

A Lot of Heat

Gas and wood ZC fireplaces are designed to hold on to most of the heat they produce. Depending on the model, your new fireplace will retain 70% or more of its heat and make it available for your room. (Compare this with a traditional masonry fireplace that might retain 20% of its heat, if you’re lucky.)

Versatile Placement

Modern fireplaces can be installed in virtually any wall in your home as long as there’s a way to run the vent pipe into the drafting chase on the outside of the house. This means you can enjoy a beautiful fireplace in main rooms, kitchens, bedrooms and even larger bathrooms.

Beauty and Elegance

Fireplaces on the market today aren’t just great heat producers; they’re also wonderful to look at. With a variety of styles, designs, sizes and finishes, accenting your home’s current décor will be easy and exciting.

4 Reasons People Shop for a New Zero-Clearance Fireplace

Homeowners shop for new fireplaces for several different reasons. Here are four of them:

Masonry fireplace is too inefficient: Open masonry fireplaces are notorious for producing low levels of heat and high levels of draftiness.
Wish to upgrade an older manufactured fireplace: Age takes its toll, and at one point even the best-made fireplace will need to be replaced.
A first fireplace: For many people, a home without a fireplace simply isn’t complete. A new zero-clearance gas or wood fireplace makes the perfect first fireplace.
Want a second fireplace for zone heating: As noted above, a new fireplace can be installed in smaller rooms to quickly heat up those spaces.

Electric Fireplaces

An electric fireplace will give your home a beautiful amenity that’s easy to operate and can be safely installed anywhere. A range of heat outputs is available, making these units great supplements to a home’s main heating system.

We carry electric fireplaces from Valor, Modern Flames, Kozy Heat, British Fires and other leading manufacturers.
