Gas Stoves & Gas Fireplace Inserts
It’s hard to beat gas for sheer convenience. City dwellers without easy access to cordwood, those living in condominiums or a home with little storage space, and busy people who don’t have time to fuss with the maintenance of a woodstove all appreciate the ease of using gas.
Gas stoves are certified to one of two standards: "decorative appliance" or "room heater." (This rating is clearly labeled on the stove.) Decorative appliances are attractive but they are not designed to heat a room, nor are they efficient. Room heaters, are serious heating units, subject to stringent efficiency standards. At Porters, our goal is to provide you with both aesthetics and efficiency!
Aside from its convenience, gas is also a reliable choice for areas where power outages are common. Most gas stoves are equipped with a pilot light (a constant, tiny flame used to ignite the main burner) and require no household current for operation and so remain a working heat source during a power failure. If the pilot light ever goes out, a safety switch automatically shuts off the gas supply.
Stoves and fireplaces cannot be sold over the internet due to manufacturer restrictions. We invite everyone to visit either of our two locations to purchase and pick up any item from our extensive inventory. Local delivery and installation available
*When making the decision where to purchase your gas stove, fireplace, or insert, remember "post sale" service is of vital importance. Since 1978, Porter's has lived by the motto - "We Service What We Sell". When you purchase from Porter's, our certified technicians will be there when warranty or service issues arise.
