ABOUT US

A Proud History

When Ron Shimek went out to the garage to build his bride a free-standing fireplace for their home back in 1975, he had no idea that he was on the path to building the largest fireplace manufacturer in the world. His first-ever Heat-N-Glo fireplace was a labor of love, and then it became a family affair. Ron’s brother Dan would join him and they opened the Heat-N-Glo Fireplace manufacturing business. Eventually, the company revolutionized the industry by inventing the world’s first Direct Vent Gas Fireplace, allowing fireplaces to be installed in virtually any room in a home. All along, Ron’s sons, including son Tim joined him in the summers. Tim began working at 9 years old.

Glowing Hearth

In 2002 Tim & Renee Shimek ventured out to start their own company, Glowing Hearth & Home. They quickly changed the fireplace industry in their own way by creating an innovative intimate customer experience. The Shimek’s focused on customer relationships, trained sales staff, and a comfortable atmosphere. They also wanted to make the fireplace buying experience as simple as possible and were the first company to offer free in home consultations.

“I am writing to inform you of the wonderful service I received from your company and your employees. I went to 2 other fireplace stores before I went to yours. I was more confused than ever until I met Mickey. I knew more in 10 minutes with Mickey than I learned anywhere else. After my free preview with Dave, I signed the proposal and made a down payment. Everyone was easy to deal with and your team kept me in the loop every step of the way. The inspector came out and as soon as he saw my paper work, told me that I did my homework by hiring Glowing Hearth & Home. He signed off immediately and told me they are the best company for the job…and I agree completely.”
