FIREPLACE GALLERY can help you

Save Thousands of Dollars on Your Heating Bill Ask our Professionals Which is Right for You The Fireplace Gallery sells and fully services stoves, fireplaces, furnaces, boilers and chimneys of all kinds. We have been saving economically conscious homeowners thousands of dollars throughout the years by providing energy smart supplemental and main source heating systems to help with, or totally eliminate, their expensive electric, propane or oil heating bills.

EASY TO INSTALL FIREPLACES

Enjoy the beauty of a heat producing fireplace. Have Fireplace Gallery install an efficient wood or gas burning fireplace finished in brick, stone or tile in as little as one day.

BOILERS & FURNACES

One of the most efficient ways to minimize your heating bill is to switch your existing oil, propane or natural gas to an effective low cost coal fired furnace or boiler.

FIREPLACE INSERTS

If you have an older fireplace it may have an efficiency rating of just 5-10% due to the open combustion design that allows the heated room air to be drawn into the fire, wasting energy and cooling down the house. A fireplace insert is an insulated, sealed system with a high efficiency that translates into more heat output in your house to help save money.

STOVES

Now Selling Reading Coal Bagged & Bulk

If you don’t have a fireplace and don’t want to change your existing central heat system, Fireplace Gallery can add a freestanding stove whether it is wood, coal, gas or wood pellet with or without chimney depending on fuel to help cut cost in heating bills.

Why wait... Rates are good, the view is breathtaking, the terms are very, very flexible.

These seven Jenkins Township lots just south of Pittston are the nicest you’ll find. Buy a lot or a lot home package or a “Double Ranch” home great for retirement or downsizing. Very reasonably priced with $25,000 construction incentive. Brokers welcome. Spec Home available for viewing.
