Heat N Glo is one of the most recognized names in the gas fireplace industry. Founded in 1975, the company pioneered direct vent gas fireplace technology and has continued to lead in design and engineering. At Hearth and Home Specialties, Heat N Glo is one of our most recommended brands, and we carry a full selection of their models in our Las Vegas showroom.
Company Background
Heat N Glo was started by Ron Shimek and his wife in their Minnesota garage. Their key innovation was the direct vent system, which allowed a gas fireplace to draw combustion air from outside and exhaust fumes back outside through a single sealed vent. This made it possible to install gas fireplaces in homes without traditional chimneys, opening up the market significantly. Today, Heat N Glo is part of Hearth and Home Technologies, the largest hearth products manufacturer in North America.
Full Product Line
Heat N Glo offers gas fireplaces in nearly every configuration a homeowner or builder could need:
- Linear models like the Mezzo and Cosmo series, which feature wide, frameless viewing areas for a modern look.
- Traditional models like the Foundation series, designed to fit in standard fireplace openings with classic log sets.
- See-through and multi-sided models that serve as room dividers and architectural features.
- Outdoor models built to withstand the elements while providing heat and ambiance on your patio.
- Fireplace inserts that retrofit into existing masonry fireplaces, converting wood-burning units to gas.
Technology and Features
Across their product line, Heat N Glo incorporates several technologies that set their fireplaces apart. The IntelliFire ignition system eliminates the standing pilot light, saving gas when the unit is off. Their Power Vent option allows installation in locations where traditional venting would be difficult, such as interior walls far from an exterior surface. Many models also offer smart home integration through Wi-Fi-enabled controls.
