How we act today protects how we live tomorrow
Heat & Glo has been revolutionizing fireplaces for generations, and we continue to focus on improving product performance, efficiency and operational sustainability. Our commitment to reducing the environmental impacts associated with our operations and designing products through thoughtful engineering, efficient manufacturing and responsible resource management, is part of our insatiable pursuit of better.
More than cozy: our fireplaces are designed for comfort and efficient heat delivery
That deep, relaxing sigh that comes from unwinding in front of a Heat & Glo fireplace? That’s not just the stress falling away, but also the peace of mind you have knowing your fireplace was responsibly crafted —from initial design concept to the moment you enjoy that warming glow — with thoughtful engineering, performance and efficiency in mind.
By delivering focused, efficient heat to the spaces you use most, our fireplaces help reduce unnecessary energy use. It’s a more intentional way to create comfort — using less while getting more from every moment.
Protecting the comforts of home
Because what matters most deserves the greatest care, we are guided by three key goals.
1. Make better fireplaces for the home, and the planet
Every Heat & Glo fireplace is thoughtfully engineered to provide beautiful warmth and reliable performance — while supporting efficient energy use in your home. Some of the ways we achieve this are:
- Intermittent pilot ignition (IPI): 98% of our gas fireplaces feature IPI. Unlike traditional “always on” standing pilots, an IPI comes on and goes off with the fireplace, thereby reducing fuel consumption associated with the pilot operation and saving money and energy.
- Heat management/zone heating: Our fireplaces and heat management solutions let you warm only the rooms you’re in most. When used as part of a zone-heating strategy, targeted heating helps reduce overall household energy use while keeping your space cozy and inviting — exactly when, and where, you need it.
- Improving product efficiency: We are continuing to improve product performance and efficiency through innovations that reduce fuel consumption, utilizing longer lasting LED bulbs to minimize waste, and expanding our selection of electric fireplace products which have nearly 100% efficient heat generation, low emissions and can provide ambiance all year long, with or without heat.
2. Reduce energy intensity by 50% by 2035*
By using energy more efficiently in our operations, we help reduce emissions and resource consumption — small changes that make a meaningful difference. A few ways we are reducing energy use are:
- Purchasing certified renewable electricity certificates that match 100% of our annual electricity consumption.
- Installing LED lighting and new energy-efficient air compressors and equipment modifications.
- Implementing an air leak minimization program throughout our manufacturing facilities.
3. Achieve zero waste to landfill for all Heat & Glo manufacturing facilities and distribution centers by 2030*
We’re committed to using less, recycling more, and making a meaningful impact. Five of our facilities have already achieved zero waste to landfill, and two more are close behind. Among the ways we are reducing our landfill burden are:
- Utilizing reclamation methods like recycling wood pallets and crates, and repurposing refractory waste for use in road construction.
- Eliminating expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam in fireplace product packaging.
- Incorporating recycled content, renewable and low-emitting materials where appropriate and available.

An efficient fireplace refresh
Looking for a simple, yet elegant, way to instantly change the entire tone of a room? By easily upgrading an outdated, drafty fireplace with a more efficient gas fireplace insert, not only is your living space transformed, but you can improve heating efficiency compared with older fireplace systems to save energy and money. Consider our new SupremeX gas insert which delivers better performance and reduced energy use than its predecessor. Meticulously designed to the last detail, it also features long-lasting LED lighting that significantly outlast traditional halogen bulbs, remaining operable for years and minimizing associated waste.
A fireplace at the touch of a button
Our growing portfolio of electric fireplaces offers the charm of a fireplace with the convenience and flexibility of electric, making them an optimal choice for homeowners. With nearly 100% efficient heat generation, low emissions and the option to operate with or without heat, electric fireplaces can go just about anywhere and be used at any time, for a cozy, at-home feeling all year long.
More home, less impact
Heat & Glo partnered with ICONIC LIFE magazine in the Net Zero ICONIC Home, the nation’s first-ever sustainable showhouse, built in Cave Creek, Arizona. The elegant custom home featured Heat & Glo’s fireplaces along with a variety of sustainable and innovative products all working together to support the home’s net-zero energy design objective. The home, which is so airtight and efficient that it produces as much energy as it consumes, includes the Heat & Glo Mezzo, Scion and Lanai fireplaces.
Fireplace industry innovators
We were proud to participate in CBS News’ Innovation and Disruption Leaders series, where we talked about our dedication to innovation and environmental performance improvements in the fireplace industry. We continue to actively innovate to adapt to a changing world and a desire for more efficient and thoughtfully designed fire features. With a dedicated focus on integrating sustainable initiatives into every aspect of our business—from product conception to consumer use—we are evolving fireplace products, and fireplace manufacturing, for a new age.
