Peirce-Phelps, Inc. entered the hearth business in 1998 with the distribution of Vermont Castings and Majestic fireplace products. The primary distribution area originally included Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. In 2004, the territory expanded to include Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.
Prior to 1998, the industry had been primarly a factory direct business. The industry moved to a two-step distribution strategy to better serve the hearth specialty retail outlets. The seasonality of the hearth business was a good fit for Peirce-Phelps, Inc. since the hearth season time frame complemented that of our core HVAC business units.
The long term strategy of the Home and Hearth Group is to become the “premier hearth supplier in the mid-Atlantic region.” Peirce-Phelps has continued to develop a strong portfolio of hearth products: Simpson Duravent pipe, Peterson logs, Golden Blount logs, Firemagic grills, the Big Greeen Egg, ICM surrounds, and the 10-Minute Chase. The Hearth Group continues to expand our offerings in response to the needs of our partners.
The Hearth Group has a logistical infrastructure of 40,000 square feet of warehouse and a network of 13 will call locations to serve our dealers. The selling organization is comprised of a professional outside sales force complemented by a well-trained inside sales team. Technical support and dealer training are also value-added offerings of the Hearth Group.
We thank you for your business and look forward to succeeding together in the future!
