With its excellent schools, convenient access to higher education, and abundant recreational areas, the affluent town of Shrewsbury has consistently been ranked as one of the most desirable places to live in Central Massachusetts. From horseback riding in spring and swimming in summer to skiing in winter, there's an outdoor adventure waiting at every turn. Surrounded by lush forest greenery, the town's stunning seasonal colors are on full display. After a day on the slopes, there is nothing quite like relaxing by a warm, cozy fire. Horizon Chimney Services helps Shrewsbury homeowners enjoy the perfect blend of warmth and ambiance, offering the largest selection of high-efficiency fireplaces and expert installation services.
Why Upgrade Your Fireplace
Older, traditional masonry fireplaces are often inefficient, allowing much of the heat they generate to escape up the chimney. Modern, manufactured fireplaces offer superior performance, enhanced safety, and increased heating efficiency without compromising the ambiance you enjoy.
A manufactured fireplace (sometimes called a factory-built or zero-clearance fireplace) is delivered on-site as a self-contained unit. It is fully insulated for professional installation virtually anywhere in your home, even in areas where a traditional hearth is impractical. They offer several advantages:
- Higher Efficiency: Modern designs maximize heat output in your home, reducing energy waste and ultimately saving you money on your heating bills.
- Flexible Installation: It features a metal flue, allowing for quick installation in new construction or as an addition in existing homes without the extensive construction required for a masonry chimney.
- Safety: They are built to strict safety standards and tested for performance.
- Design Variety: Select from a diverse range of styles and finishes to complement your décor.
From Wood to Electric Fireplaces
Horizon Chimney Services offers a range of heating solutions to fit every homeowner's preference and heating needs:
Au Natural Wood-Burning Fireplaces
When you desire the authentic sight, sound, and smell of a real fire, nothing compares to a high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace. These units combine the classic, au natural experience with modern engineering to deliver impressive heat output. They are an excellent option for heating your home, especially during winter power outages.
Dazzling Electric Fireplaces
Do you prefer the instant ambiance of a fire without the upkeep? An electric fireplace is an excellent choice. They offer easy installation virtually anywhere, requiring only a standard electrical outlet. An electric fireplace produces no smoke or fumes and offers realistic flame effects with or without heat, making them ideal for ambient lighting or supplemental zone heating.
The Benefits of a Fireplace Insert
Do you have an existing masonry fireplace that needs work or fails to keep your room warm? A fireplace insert is a closed combustion system, essentially a firebox enclosed in steel or cast iron, that fits directly into your existing fireplace opening, giving your fireplace an instant makeover. Unlike a traditional fireplace, which may send up to 85 percent of its heat straight up the flue, an insert can distribute over 90 percent of its generated heat directly into your living space.
We offer two popular options for inserts:
- Wood-Burning Inserts: Experience the classic comfort of burning wood with significantly enhanced efficiency in a sealed combustion system, ensuring cleaner and safer operation.
- Pellet Inserts: For maximum convenience, pellet inserts use an automated hopper to feed renewable wood pellets into the burner, offering continuous heat for hours with adjustable temperature control, minimal emissions, and virtually no waste, making them an environmentally friendly heating solution.
