Ventless Fireplaces
Our ventless fireplaces use patented alcohol gel fuel technology to provide safe, smoke-free ambiance without requiring chimneys or gas lines. These units meet UL 1370 safety standards and are NYC-approved for installation in apartments, high-rises, and commercial spaces. The clean-burning system produces no ash or embers while maintaining full room heat efficiency.
Custom Models
We create fully customized fireplaces tailored to specific dimensions and design requirements. Options include unique sizes, metal finishes, interior tile patterns, and decorative elements like stacking logs or river stones. Our Brooklyn artisans collaborate with designers to ensure seamless integration with any architectural style while maintaining safety certifications.
Outdoor Models
Designed for durability in outdoor environments, these stainless steel or powder-coated units withstand weather exposure while providing safe ambiance. Features include drainage systems, stone tops, and rust-resistant materials. Installation requires no gas connections, making them ideal for patios, rooftops, and commercial outdoor spaces needing code-compliant heating solutions.
Alcohol Gel Fuel
Our pre-filled aluminum cartridges use isopropyl alcohol gel for safe, consistent burning. Each 2.5-hour cartridge produces 5,000 BTUs of heat with no smoke or debris. The system eliminates fuel handling risks through single-use design, and empty cartridges are recyclable. This technology enables fireplace installation in locations where traditional fuel sources are prohibited.
Complementary Products
We offer curated accessories including mantels, mirror TVs, and decorative tiles from trusted partners. These products enhance fireplace installations with functional design elements like custom surrounds, hidden entertainment centers, and artistic tilework. All complementary products are selected to maintain safety standards while maximizing aesthetic flexibility for residential and commercial projects.
Questions
Are HearthCabinet fireplaces safe for indoor use?
Yes, our fireplaces meet UL 1370 safety standards and are the only ventless fireplaces approved for NYC apartments. The alcohol gel fuel burns cleanly with no smoke or embers, and safety screens prevent accidental contact with flames.
How do I install a HearthCabinet fireplace?
No gas, electricity, or venting required. Most units install with basic tools in under an hour. Custom models include detailed instructions, and our design team provides support throughout the installation process for both residential and commercial applications.
What fuel do these fireplaces use?
We use patented single-use alcohol gel cartridges containing isopropyl alcohol and water. The clean-burning fuel produces water vapor and no toxic emissions, with each cartridge lasting 2-2.5 hours before safe disposal in standard recycling bins.
Can I customize the fireplace design?
Yes, we offer full customization including dimensions, metal finishes (black steel, stainless steel, bronze, brass), interior tiles, and decorative elements like stacking logs or river stones to match any architectural style.
Are these fireplaces approved for NYC buildings?
Yes, HearthCabinet is the only ventless fireplace system approved by NYC Fire Department regulations. Our alcohol gel technology complies with strict urban safety codes that prohibit traditional gas or wood-burning fireplaces in many high-rise applications.
How much heat do these fireplaces produce?
Each gel fuel cartridge provides 5,000 BTUs, with larger models using two cartridges for 10,000 BTUs. While not intended as primary heating sources, they efficiently warm immediate areas without requiring venting systems.

First and foremost, the Hearth fireplace is super dope. Its even better than we imagined we love it. In fact, we just ordered a second one. But there is one issue.
Heres our background. We live in a 120 year old Brooklyn row house that had multiple fireplaces that were closed up. And we always dreamed of having a working fireplace, a luxury in NYC. We considered renovating our living room fireplace with gas but that wasnt a possibility, for practical reasons and cost. Our contractor recommended we look at Hearth as an alternative and he was spot on. It looks great and creates a

Sara and her team were a pleasure to work with and the finished product is even better. They were able to custom design a cabinet to fit in a tight space we had that also fit with the decor of our prewar apartment. We couldnt be happier with it!

We recently bought and had a Hearth Cabinet installed and love it. Its such an ideal fix when you cant have ventilation or run a gas line. It looks amazing, the fire is perfect and even crackle like real wood. Sarah and the team at HC were great and we worked with a great carpenter Robert Benes of Carpistry who did the instillation...

Due to Covid, I never needed to go to the showroom to order my fireplace. It was very easy to work with the sales professionals with HearthCabinet and I received my fireplace within two weeks. It was installed it in two days. We couldn't be more pleased with the result, very easy it is to maintain, beautiful, and have been enjoying using the fireplace all winter long!
