Kozy Heat is a leading manufacturer of quality wood, gas and electric fireplaces.
Company philosophy is that if four bolts will hold it, eight will hold it forever. If 1/8-inch metal is thick enough, then 1/4-inch is better.
With gas fireplaces, each burner is tested to ensure that the flame is a realistic yellow-orange color.
Clear, glass doors create an airtight seal, and outside air is used for combustion to provide the greatest heat and efficiency.
Along with fireplaces of every variety, the Kozy Heat retail outlet at 13080 U.S. 71 in Bentonville offers inserts and a full line of accessories, including cut-to-order ceramic glass for fireplace doors and gasketing for wood stoves.
Kozy Heat can service, install and educate homeowners about alternative heating methods. Its trained installers are certified by the National Fireplace Institute.
“We take pride in being able to service and repair most brands of products we don’t sell,” owner Ron Gaudian said.
A low turnover rate among staff contributes to quality customer service.
“Our technicians, Chris Michaels and Randy Gaudian, have been with Kozy Heat for over 38 years between them,” Ron Gaudian said.
Fireplaces should be professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year,and the Kozy Heat technicians also can service gas, wood or pellet stoves to ensure safety and efficiency.
Kozy Heat also carries top-quality charcoal, pellet or gas grills.
“Saturday is a good day to check out our grills,” Gaudian said. “We areusually grilling, so you can taste for yourself.”
Free estimates for service and repair are available in Benton County and McDonald County, Mo. More information is available by calling (479) 464-0098 or online at kozy-heat.net.
