Before and After Job – Kozy Heat Princeton

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

 

The entire staff at Energy Products and Design was courteous and addressed all concerns and questions my wife and I had regarding not only the products but the installation process.

Willie O’Neil walked us through the options and units that would best accommodate our needs.  He was prompt and provided ample information and explanations to assist us in making informed decisions and even educated us on the original wood burning unit we replaced.  Willie aided in coordination of the necessary subcontractors to simplify the installation and consulted with the contractor we had selected to complete the stone work on the facade of the new fireplace.  He was professional, honest and worked around our schedule.  Willie followed through with us from planning stage to completion.

We would highly recommend Willie and Energy Products and Design to anyone considering updating an old fireplace or adding a new unit in their home.

It’s time for Spring Cleaning

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

With warmer weather arriving, and the snow quickly melting, spring cleaning is making it’s way on to many of our to-do lists.  Despite the departure of old man winter, we Minnesotans still have plenty of cool spring and summer nights ahead and with them, the opportunity to enjoy our wood and gas fireplaces.

Let's Clean Up!

Since we can and do use our fireplaces almost all year (except the dog days of summer), I am often asked “When is the best time to clean and service my fireplace”?  The Answer – “In the Spring!”, and here is why:

  • Our lead times are shorter.  In the fall, our schedule is busy with service responses to fireplaces that need repair.  Perhaps there are problems that occurred last season (maybe in the spring), and homeowners have a tendency to put off the repair since “winter is almost over”.
  • Your fireplace will feel fresh and clean all summer long.  After a long winter, when your fireplace has been working hard, the glass and other critical components could use a thorough cleaning.  Giving it a good cleaning at the end of the season means that it will be ready to go in the fall (while your friends and neighbors may be facing a 2-3 week wait time to get on the schedule for repairs).
  • We often run specials to encourage you to plan ahead.  Since our schedule is lighter, we  invite you to plan ahead with a service in the spring (and help relieve the congested schedule we face in the fall).  Check here to see if there is a promotion that may save you money!

Rest assured that we are trained and experience in taking good care of your fireplace and we are more than happy to do it any time of year.  But it’s often in your best interest, for both time and money, to plan ahead with prevention instead of responding to a failure.

Spotlight – Renaissance Rumford

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

“Count Rumford knew his stuff: classic Rumford firebox proportions produced a vertical fire which concentrated hot combustion gasses while at the same time radiated heat back through the firebox for a hotter fire. Renaissance Rumford 1000

Renaissance Fireplaces, a division of the Industrial Chimney Company, also knows their stuff.  As a recognized leader in both chimney and fireplace design, they broke new ground in with the unveiling of their new fireplace – the Rumford 1000.  It all started with an industry challenge (more…)

Clean Doesn’t Mean Compromise

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

With over 1000 square inches of viewing area, the award winning Rumford Renaissance fireplace combines classic open hearth styling with state of the art technology.  The result is an ultra-low emissions fireplace that doesn’t require you to tolerate the smaller viewing area typically reserved for wood-stoves and high efficiency fireplaces.

Traditionally, the pursuit of selecting a wood fireplace led to the crossroads of selecting style versus performance with the dichotomy lying in between a large viewing area and clean burning.  In the 1980′s the EPA began enforcing emissions (more…)
