Start with our 12,000 plus square foot showroom with nearly 60 burning displays shown in a variety of styles. With our wide selection of hearth and patio appliances and accessories, we can help you get the perfect product for your home.

When you visit us, just tell us what you’re looking for and we will suggest the best products to meet your needs. Our entire staff, from sales to installation and service, receive factory and industry approved training and certifications. This ensures that we have the most knowledgeable staff around. Something that’s just not found in a Big Box Store.

When you make a purchase from Pennwood, our relationship with you is just getting started. We offer complete installation services, whether it’s a standard install or completely custom, Pennwood can handle it. We can help from first sketch to the final coat of paint and everything in between. But our relationship still doesn’t end there. While we make every effort to provide our customers with the most reliable products, eventually every unit is going to require some type of service. Whether it’s just an annual cleaning or a part wears out, we have a full time service department to take care of your needs. Pennwood also has a chimney sweep division called Sootslayer Chimney Sweeps. Their CSIA certified sweeps can inspect, clean, and repair your fireplace and flue. Every cleaning and inspection includes a video scan of the flue.

Company History

Pennwood Home and Hearth was founded in 1975 as a pallet manufacturer. Over time, power equipment and stove sales and service were added to the business. Due to market conditions and consumer demand, Pennwood has evolved into central Pennsylvania's leading hearth and patio retailer and installer.

Facilities & Showroom

Over 12,000 square feet of showroom with more than 60 burning displays. Burn units display many different styles of finish. We have a design center for displaying various mantel styles and finishes as well as different tile, stone, marble, and granite options. We have a well large parts room stocked with the most popular replacement parts. We have a shop for in house repairs and reconditioning. We have a wood shop and fabrication shop for building custom made mantels and heath pads. We have lots of area for storing wood pellets so we are able to keep them in stock year round.

Services We Provide

We have a complete service department with five full time employees. We service what we sell as well as most vented gas fireplaces and stoves. Unfortunately we are only able to service vent-free gas and wood pellet products we sell. Whether you just need an annual cleaning or every component on your unit needs replaced because your basement flooded, our techs can handle it. All of our techs receive factory and industry approved training regularly. Just give our service manager a call and he will take care of getting everything scheduled.
