Use supplemental heating
Save up to 30% on your utility bill by warming the room you're in - not the whole house. EcoSmart Fire features built-in and portable ethanol fireplaces that deliver both warmth and ambiance. With a smart integration system, HEATSCOPE Heaters allow you to operate multiple units with a different temperature for each zone.
Choose a ventless fireplace
A traditional wood-burning fireplace loses about 80-90% of its heat by sending warm air up the chimney and out of your home. EcoSmart Fire has a vast range of ventless indoor fireplaces that keep the heat in.

1. Save up to 40% on your heating bill
A central heating system cycles on and off several times an hour and wastes money by heating your entire home, even unoccupied rooms. Install a fireplace into commonly used areas of your home for warmth where and when you need it. A fireplace helps conserve energy, saving you up to 40% on your utility bill and adds ambiance and beauty to your space.

2. Keep the heat inside
Vented fireplaces release smoke and other harmful emissions outdoors through a chimney or flue, allowing heat to escape. Using our all-new fireplace grates, convert your traditional system into a clean-burning, ventless fireplace and keep the heat inside for improved warmth and energy savings.

Firepits create a welcoming retreat to gather around and enjoy the outdoors. During colder winter months, a warm flame may not be enough to enjoy your space pleasantly. Adding an overhead heater delivers total comfort with a warm, sunlike feel. Radiant heaters directly reach the people and surfaces below for the perfect temperature in any season.
Turn your home into a peaceful retreat

Your outdoor space can be as luxurious as the inside of your home. Bring together natural elements and a glowing fire for a tranquil setting to be enjoyed with your loved ones.
