FIREPLACES FOR EVERY HOME & STYLE

GAS FIREPLACES

Gas fireplaces offer consistent, controllable heat with the look of a real flame. They're efficient, easy to use, and available in a wide range of styles to match any home design. Many models provide strong supplemental heat while maintaining clean, low-maitenance operation.

ELECTRIC FIREPLACES

Electric fireplaces are a flexible, low maitenance option that can be installed in almost any space. They offer adjustable heat and flame effects, making them perfect for year-round ambiance. With no venting required, they're a great choice for convenience and modern living.

MANTELS AND EXTRAS

In addition to fireplaces, we offer pellet stoves, pellets, mantels, and a variety of accessories to complete your setup. From classic to contemporary mantels, these finishing touches enhance both the function and appearance of your fireplace. We make it easy to find everything you need to keep your hearth looking great and performing at its best. 


OUR STORY

The company was founded in 1971 by Lyle Dudgeon, with his brother, Brent, joining in 1975. What started as a one-man, one-truck operation based out of Newark, Ohio has now grown to eight locations across three states. In 1981 Brent moved company headquarters to Bellville, Ohio, where it is still located today. in 1997, NCI added their Fireplace Division, expanding to offer more than just insulation.
In 1998, the business began to expand, adding a location in Wooster, followed by a new building with a fireplace showroom in Newark in 2001, and another showroom location in Lewis Center in 2004.
Recently, they have expanded beyond Ohio, adding Latrobe, Pennsylvania in 2017 and Eminence, Kentucky in 2018. In 2019, the company branch moved from Eminence to Shelbyville. In 2024, they added a location in Washington Courthouse, Ohio and in 2025 they acquired Kousma Insulation, located in Willard, Ohio.
