We have walked countless customers through the installation process, so stop on in; we'll keep a fire burning for you.

Company History

Grass Roots Energy Inc., born out of the late 70's energy crisis, was opened as an alternative energy destination store. In the early days, the main focus was to supply our customers with wood stoves and fireplace inserts. Our first location was in Hampshire, Illinois. As the business grew, a second location was established in Wauconda, Illinois. The Wauconda location turned out to be central to the northern Chicago-land growth center. The Hampshire location was sold off in the early eighties and allowed us to focus on the growing market from one central location. After all these years, we still serve the needs of our Hampshire customers who travel over thirty miles to see us. They reminisce about the Hampshire store and share fond memories of warm gatherings around the wood stove they purchased from Grass Roots Energy Inc.

Over the years, we've have come to be known as the wood burning experts of the Northern Chicago-land area. While we embrace this distinction, we have grown our product selection. We are a leader in the sales and installation of gas fireplaces, gas burning fireplace inserts, wood burning fireplace, and anything heath related. We are eager to help our customer continue the tradition of creating fond memories around a safe warm hearth. We are here to serve your needs as a destination store for many years to come.
