Higgins Energy Alternatives – Barre, MA

Higgins Energy Alternatives is one of the oldest & largest fireplace shops in the United States. We are a family owned & operated business that launched in 1975. Ron & Sue Higgins originally opened the business as an antique shop which then diversified into wood stoves & chain saws during the energy crisis in 1979. Since then, Higgins Energy Alternatives has grown and expanded both the facility and the product line to include fireplaces, inserts, and solar energy systems. Our staff has decades of combined experience and many of our employees have been with the company for over 20 years. Even though we’ve expanded, we still remain a local small town favorite that focuses on friendly customer service and quality products.
