What’s on your home improvement wish list this year? Is it to get that fireplace repaired or give it a facelift so you can finally enjoy it this winter? What about exploring alternative heating options or buying a new wood stove to save money? Or perhaps it’s always been your dream to create your own personal custom sanctuary in your back yard with an outdoor living room, hearth or kitchen. Maybe it’s something as simple as having your chimney maintained before the winter months arrive. Whatever your home renovation goals are, and no matter how large or small in scale, Linwood Stove & Fireplace is your one-stop-shop for all your consulting, retail, and maintenance needs. Located at 965 Washington Street in Hanover, this family-owned and operated business offers unsurpassed expertise and guarantees customer satisfaction.

A spin-off company of Linwood Stone Masonry, which has served both commercial and residential markets for over twenty years, Linwood Stove & Fireplace was founded in 2008 by husband and wife team ——- Linwood and Allison Stone. The business was born out of the increasing demand in today’s market for alternative, innovative heating options and creative outdoor living spaces. Moving into this next phase seemed like a logical step as Allison explains, “We were asked so often while working on masonry jobs about products like stoves, hearths, and outdoor living and cooking areas it seemed like a natural next step to open a retail store where we could focus on offering these products and services to our customers. We take pride in our work and in the satisfaction of our customers.” Linwood Stove & Fireplace has all the expertise not only to retail the best products on the market but also to offer installation and maintenance to their customers. They provide the best options in alternative heating and really can do it all—from sweeping your chimney to helping you redesign your backyard or patio.

Options such as gas fireplaces and stoves, pellet stoves, wood stoves and inserts, child-safety screens, tool sets and accessories are available from the industry’s top manufacturers such as Jøtul, Enviro and Hearthstone (visit www.linwoodstove.com for a complete listing). Linwood’s friendly and knowledgeable sales staff is here to consult with you on the best options for your lifestyle and budget. In today’s economy, particularly in New England, the cost of heating during the winter months is on everyone’s mind. With long, and yet unpredictable winters, we never know what to expect but we all know we want to save money. Why not be environmentally friendly while doing so? The products offered by Linwood aren’t just a great way to control your heating cost; they are also a great way to reduce your environmental footprint!
