The Same Crew—from Sale to Service—Since 1991

Whatever brought you here, the want is the same—a fireplace that holds heat when the temperature drops, runs reliably year after year, and gives your family somewhere to gather on cold nights.

The problem isn’t finding a fireplace. The problem is finding one that actually performs in southwest Wisconsin, installed by someone who’ll still be in business when it needs service two winters from now. Outdated units don’t hold the room. Cut-corner installs get red-tagged when the inspector finds them. And the installer who promised to come back for service often turns out to be hard to reach by the time you actually need him.

Every family should have heat they can count on—reliable, beautiful, and ready when winter sets in. That’s the bar you should hold any installer to.

You don’t want a salesperson—you want someone who’s actually used the unit you’re considering. We heat our own homes with wood stoves and gas fireplaces, so when you ask us how a unit holds up in cold weather, you’re asking people who use these same units in their own houses.

Hiring someone to install it right—and stand behind the work for years—is harder than the install itself. Center Stove & Fireplace started as a service business back in 1991. We swept chimneys, fixed gas inserts, and learned how all of it actually breaks. Sales came later. Now, 35 years in, we still handle everything in-house—sales, installation, and service—with NFI- and CSIA-certified work and 4.9 stars on Google. We don’t subcontract a single install or service call.

When the install goes in, the burn looks right, and the inspector signs off on a code-compliant job, you don’t have to think about your hearth again—until next fall, when it’s time for service. And we’ll be the ones who pick up the phone.

We can help you, too.
