Superior Fireplaces

What a Superior fireplace offers

Superior is made in the USA by Innovative Hearth Products in Russellville, Alabama. The range covers wood, gas and electric hearth products, with choices for a remodel or a new home. For built-in units, a builder frames a wall around it and finishes the opening in stone, tile, or brick.

Gas choices include natural gas or propane. Direct vent models offer electronic ignition with battery backup, while some offer millivolt controls with a standing pilot. To compare brands, visit our fireplaces collection or browse indoor fireplaces.

Explore the eight Superior lines

Choose a Superior gas fireplace for a built-in gas fire. A Superior direct vent fireplace uses a sealed pipe to bring outside air in and carry exhaust out, like the other direct vent fireplaces we carry. A Superior vent free fireplace needs no chimney at all, and our ventless gas fireplaces page shows every brand, with local code the thing to check first. B-vent gives you an open front with a pipe through the roof. Compare gas fireplaces from every brand, linear fireplaces (Superior's run up to 84 inches wide) or double sided fireplaces that share one fire between two rooms. Many built-in units also suit corner fireplace layouts.

A Superior wood burning fireplace is a factory built unit that burns real logs in a framed wall. Choose an open fire with brick panels or kiln fired brick in stacked or herringbone patterns. Clean face designs keep the opening plain. EPA certified heater models have a sealed, insulated firebox and a blower for warmth. Compare the wood-burning fireplaces we carry from other brands.

A Superior electric fireplace plugs into a normal outlet without a gas line or vent. Choose traditional logs or contemporary crystals and color lights. A heater and remote come with it, and flames can run without heat. Browse all electric fireplaces for more styles.

A Superior outdoor fireplace uses stainless steel for outdoor living in a contractor-built patio wall. Choose gas logs, linear glass flames or an open wood fire for your backyard. Compare the wider outdoor fireplaces range, including outdoor gas fireplaces and outdoor wood burning fireplaces.

The Superior fireplace insert slides into an existing wood fireplace and vents up its chimney. Choose 27 or 32 inches, with ceramic fiber logs, a blower and battery backup. Our fireplace inserts collection covers several fuels, while gas fireplace inserts narrow the choice.

Superior gas logs include concrete logs and ceramic fiber choices, with burner and control options on the page. Match the set to your firebox and venting. Compare all gas fireplace log sets, ventless gas logs with the damper closed, or vented gas logs with a working chimney and open damper.

The Superior wood burning stove stands on a pedestal without wall framing. This EPA certified stove needs a hearth pad and chimney and has a large glass door.

The Superior wood stove page details that same stove. It takes 16 inch logs, with a larger size available by request. A blower and outside air kit are add-ons. Compare other wood stoves here.

How to choose your fireplace

Start with the type of fuel, wood, gas or electric, then decide whether the unit belongs indoors or outdoors. For gas, check whether direct vent, vent free or B-vent suits the project. A new wall needs a built-in unit, while an existing fireplace may suit an insert or compatible log set.

Measure the opening and depth before you pick the size on the page. A bedroom or condo may need a smaller unit than a living room. For vent free units, check your local code. Required chimney or vent pipe is sold separately. Ask us to quote the run.

Frequently asked questions

Is Superior a good fireplace brand?

Superior has made fireplaces in the USA for decades, with wood, gas, electric and outdoor choices. Its wood heater fireplaces and stove are EPA certified. Its built-in units are framed in by a builder like any factory built fireplace, and one brand can fill a whole house. We are an authorized dealer, and every unit carries the full manufacturer warranty.

Who makes Superior fireplaces?

Innovative Hearth Products, or IHP, makes them at its factory in Russellville, Alabama. Superior was part of Lennox Hearth Products until 2012, when that company merged with FMI Products to form IHP. IHP also owns the Astria and IronStrike hearth brands.

Is Superior Fireplaces still in business?

Yes. The brand continues under Innovative Hearth Products, which makes the current range in Russellville, Alabama. We carry its wood, gas, electric and outdoor fireplaces, gas logs, insert and stove. An older Lennox unit belongs to the same family, since Lennox Hearth Products became IHP in 2012.

How do I turn on my Superior fireplace?

Electronic ignition uses a button or remote, with battery backup. Millivolt units use a standing pilot lit once a season, then a valve, remote or wall switch. Electric units use the included remote. Wood fires are lit by hand. EPA heater fireplaces have an air boost. Call us with your model.

We sell the units and listed add-ons, including fronts, liners, blowers, glass doors, remotes, wall switches, outside air kits, conversion kits, surrounds and log sets. For a repair part for an older unit, call us with the model number and we will find out what is available.
