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 Inserts

A fireplace gas insert is a great way to turn your existing masonry fireplace into a zone heater. An open fireplace that burns wood is about 12% efficient.  Putting in a vented gas log set brings the efficiency to about 25% – 30%.  With a direct-vent gas insert installed into the same fireplace the efficiency is increased to 70% to 85%!

All direct vent gas inserts have a fixed piece of glass in front of the fire in order for them to function and provide additional radiant heat. Blowers come standard on all units to help move the heated air out into your room. In the case of a power outage, or if you choose to not run the blower, the insert will still supply you with plenty of warmth.

The chimney venting system consists of two 3” pipes that run from the insert to the top of your chimney. Fresh air comes in to feed the unit through one pipe, while the second pipe carries the exhaust 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.

Modern or traditional looking, the choices for a heating fireplace gas insert are many.

The NFI Certified Specialists at Nordic Stove and Fireplace Center can help you turn your fireplace into an efficient zone heater.
