Why Fireside?

Easy. Experts. Best Brands.

We each have a unique experience with fire. It’s an element that is a part of all our stories, but appears in distinct ways. For some, those flickering flames mean warmth and comfort; to others they represent strength and illumination; but for all, a nostalgic fireside memory or two is conjured. At Fireside Hearth & Home, our Hearth Experts recognize that every experience is different and so are the fireplaces, inserts and stoves that will find a place in your story.

As the top fireplace suppliers in Michigan, our method is simple: We listen to you. Our qualified professionals guide you from beginning to end through the hearth selection process, discovering the details to match you with the perfect product for your home and lifestyle. The showroom brings your vision alive, giving you a glimpse of the ways your choice could unfold. And just as carefully as you handpicked your new fireplace, insert or stove, our Hearth Experts meticulously handle every aspect of the installation process.

It all starts with a visit to see our Hearth Experts at one of our four Metro Detroit locations.

Professional Installation

After you’ve chosen the perfect hearth product for your home, we work closely with you to manage the installation process. Our installers specialize in fireplace, insert and stove installations, it’s all they do. They are professionals who treat your home with respect, including protecting your floors with drop cloths and minimizing disruption by working in a tidy manner and thoroughly cleaning up when the job is complete.

A typical installation involves the following steps:

(1). Installation verification visit. Prior to installing your new fireplace, insert or stove, we visit your home to assess the location for the hearth product, evaluate venting and/or chimney requirements, verify electrical or gas sources, and confirm measurements to ensure a smooth installation. This step also includes obtaining building permits on your behalf.

(2). Installation. We professionally install your fireplace, insert or stove with related mechanics and surrounding features.

(3). Inspection. A representative from your local municipal or county inspector’s office visits your home to inspect the installation. Depending on the type of installation and location requirements, additional inspections may be required.

(4). Start up. Our installers perform the start-up process with you. This includes prepping and lighting the unit, demonstrating how it operates, reviewing features and benefits, and providing maintenance tips.
