Great service and we are so happy with our Simplifire electric fireplace insert! The insert panel was on back order for months so they gave us the part from their floor model so we didnt have to wait. Thanks!

Great experience from start to finish. Owner was knowledgeable and not at all pushy when we picked out our fireplace insert. But when John and Thomas came to install it I was blown away by their service. Very friendly and kind. They went out of their way to explain everything to me and were VERY conscious and thoughtful to not interrupt my kids' naps as much as possible. Just an all around good experience and now my fireplace looks beautiful!
