Covid-19

As the on-going global pandemic Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to unfold, we want you to know that the well-being of our customers and Nordic team members is our top priority. Following the lead of the town and state we’ve made the decision to temporarily close our storefront business effective Tuesday March 17th at 5pm.
During this time service work and installations will be on hold but you may email us with questions — Martha and I will be monitoring emails and will respond to them as quickly as possible.
If you need any of our products (fireplace or barbeque items) please email us. We will take the order over the phone and set up a time for curbside pickup.
We have decided to be proactive in this role in an effort to keep our customers, our staff and our community safe. Precautionary measures hopefully make a difference to the current situation.
The coronavirus pandemic has brought on a lot of stress, anxiety, uncertainty, opinions and misinformation. Businesses are struggling and some won’t make it. People will lose their jobs and many already have. Many are sick, will get sick, or worse. And right now, many are feeling isolated.
We are all put on this earth to help each other out. Keep that in mind. Be kind to each other and try to understand what others are dealing with. We will make it through this together.
Stay healthy. Be safe.
Scott & Martha

Gas Fireplaces

Today the most efficient way to add a fireplace to a home is by utilizing gas as the fuel, and the technology called “direct vent.” With today’s direct vent technology you do not need a full chimney system going up to the top of the building; instead, it can be vented out a side wall and stop.

The chimney vent pipe is a co-axial (pipe within a pipe) system, where the outer walled pipe brings in fresh air to feed the fire and the exhaust goes out the inner wall of the same pipe. Everything comes in from the outside and everything goes back out to the outside. You do not use or lose any room air to feed the fire and there is no exhaust coming into the home because all direct vent gas units have a fixed piece of glass in front of the fire in order for them to function and provide additional radiant heat. With this fixed piece of glass and the two-way vent pipe, no room air is used for combustion which greatly increases the efficiency... up to 88%! Direct vent units are tested to a furnace standard for heating and are often used in zone heat applications. They can even be hooked up to a thermostat which would turn the fireplace on and off when the room requires heat!

Gas fireplaces are available for natural gas as well as propane / LP gas. There are many different options that can be had when designing your particular look. Brushed steel, metallic black, brass are some of the color options along with brick panels, bay windows, blowers, screen doors and remote controls. Besides great looks, the beauty of these heaters is also the fact that with a battery back-up, they do not require electricity to work. Power or no power you still can have a fire and feel the warmth!
