About Us
Jim and Ken Adkisson opened Autumn Glo Fireplace Supply in 1995. They sold and installed pre-fabricated fireplaces for eight years in the new construction market and used this knowledge to create a retail showroom that was dedicated to fireplaces. The first location was a small showroom in a mini-mall. The endeavor was so successful and grew so quickly that Autumn Glo moved to a 2000 square foot location on Embury Rd. The business continued to grow and is now located in a 3500 square foot showroom at Holly and Baldwin Rd.
Autumn Glo’s spacious, unique selection center is more than a typical fireplace supply store. Each display is carefully crafted to represent one of the many ways that a fireplace can enhance your home. Full vignettes that include all finishing materials, decorations and even furniture allow customers to easily imagine each unit in their home.
The selection center also features Quadrafire Pellet stoves and inserts as well as high-efficiency wood stoves and inserts. Having three fuel choices and countless styles guarantees that Autumn Glo will have something to suit your needs.
Eighteen years of experience and expansion, combined with thousands of fireplace installations drew the attention of Heat & Glo, the nation’s largest and most innovative fireplace manufacturer. Autumn Glo has been Genesee County’s exclusive Heat & Glo dealer for over three years.
Autumn Glo’s gorgeous selection center and knowledgeable staff is committed solely to fireplace sales and installation, which sets them apart from the competition. Employees are experienced and well informed about all the products that Autumn Glo carries. Their installation staff is factory trained and licensed, ensuring your peace of mind and safety. Fireplaces, stoves and inserts are also available for cash and carry purchase if homeowners choose to do the installation themselves.
Heat & Glo has many fireplace styles and designs from traditional to contemporary. Their line of mantels, marble granite and cast stone surrounds can provide finishing material for nearly any décor. Today’s homeowners want and need to be involved in the selection process. Jim Adkisson stresses the importance of the customer’s participation and recommends that they come to the studio to choose a fireplace that is both attractive and beneficial. A fireplace is a major focal point in your home as well as being the least replaceable appliance. Customers need to see the units burn before choosing one. There are many fireplace manufacturers and a distinct difference between all of them. Pictures from a brochure cannot convey the true look of the fireplace. Once a fireplace is installed and covered in stone, marble or granite, it’s an enormous and expensive endeavor to replace it if you’re unhappy. It pays to spend some time choosing the right fireplace.
