Northeastern Fireplace & Design: Your Fireplace Store & Showroom in Bethlehem, NY
At Northeastern Fireplace & Design, we believe home truly is where the hearth is. Since opening our full-service showroom in 2007, we’ve helped more than 17,000 customers in Bethlehem, Albany, and the greater Capital District region find the perfect heating solution for their homes. Whether you’re looking for a brand-new fireplace, want to upgrade an existing hearth with an insert, or are ready to add a freestanding stove for zone heating, we’ve got you covered.
Our founder, Joseph Shear, started Northeastern Fireplace & Design because he saw the need for a place where homeowners could shop, compare, and learn about the highest-quality fireplaces, stoves, and accessories all under one roof. Today, our showroom continues that mission, bringing trusted brands, professional installation, and friendly guidance together for an unmatched experience.
What’s the Difference Between a Fireplace, Insert, and Stove?
We know that shopping for a hearth appliance can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take time to walk you through the differences:
- Fireplaces: A built-in option that creates a stunning focal point and works with a specific chimney system. We carry everything from traditional wood-burning Rumford fireplaces to sleek gas and electric models.
- Fireplace Inserts: Perfect if you already have a fireplace but want greater efficiency, a new style, or a fuel switch. Inserts slide directly into your existing fireplace and can cut down heat loss dramatically.
- Stoves: Free-standing or retrofitted, stoves provide flexible placement and powerful zone heating. Available in wood, pellet, and gas/propane options, they’re both practical and charming.
No matter which route you’re leaning toward, our experts can help you choose the right size, style, and fuel type to match your lifestyle.

How Do I Know Which Fuel Type Is Best?
Choosing between wood, gas, pellet, or electric often comes down to your home and your habits:
- Wood-burning: Best for those who love tradition, the crackle of logs, and independence from utilities.
- Gas/propane: Ideal for homeowners who want heat at the push of a button with minimal cleanup.
- Pellet/corn: A great choice if you want renewable fuel with high efficiency and steady heat.
- Electric: Perfect for condos, apartments, or secondary heating where venting isn’t possible.
Our staff will ask the right questions about your heating needs, style preferences, and maintenance expectations, so you can feel confident in your choice.
