Traditional Open-Hearth Wood Burning Fireplaces
A traditional open-hearth fireplace delivers the full wood-fire experience — the crackling sound, the natural scent, and the visual warmth of an open flame. It is the closest thing to an indoor campfire and creates a striking focal point in any living space.
These units require the most hands-on care: regular chimney cleaning, annual inspections, and proper hardwood selection are all essential to safe operation. They draw combustion air from inside the room, so an outside air kit is required in most new construction. Henry’s can advise on the right installation approach for your home.
High-Efficiency EPA-Certified Wood Burning Fireplaces
High-efficiency wood burning fireplaces are sealed, airtight units that draw combustion air directly from outside — keeping your indoor air clean and reducing heat loss. The burn rate is controlled via an adjustable air shutter, and these units must be operated with the doors closed.
Also known as EPA-certified zero clearance fireplaces, they produce significantly more usable heat than open-hearth models. Optional blower kits are available, and select models can integrate directly with your home’s central HVAC ductwork — making them a practical whole-home or zone heating solution.
