Heatilator Fireplace Repair & Service

One of the oldest US fireplace brands, making gas, wood, and outdoor fireplaces widely used in new homes.

About Heatilator

Heatilator makes factory-built gas and wood-burning fireplaces, plus outdoor gas and wood fireplaces. It is a Hearth & Home Technologies brand under HNI Corporation and shares parts and the IntelliFire ignition system with Heat & Glo and Majestic.

Heatilator is a builder favorite and sits in the entry to mid range. Lines like the Novus, Caliber, and Heirloom are some of the most common gas fireplaces in tract homes, while the Crave series offers a modern linear look at a lower price than most premium brands. Because so many were installed in new construction, techs see Heatilator units constantly, and parts are widely stocked. Units are sold through builders, hearth dealers, and some online retailers, and most are installed by the dealer.

History

The first Heatilator fireplace was built in 1927 in Syracuse, New York. The company introduced factory-built systems that removed the need for masonry in 1946 and zero-clearance fireplaces in 1955. Manufacturing moved to Mount Pleasant, Iowa, in 1964. The Mark 123 (1968) and later E Series became top sellers, and HON Industries bought the business in 1981. In 1996 Heatilator merged with Heat-N-Glo to form what is now Hearth & Home Technologies. The Novus gas line launched in 1995.
