Every Project Starts From One of These Five Situations
One state, two very different heating seasons.
Missouri sits mostly in IECC climate zone 4A, with the Bootheel dipping into milder zone 3A and the northern counties bordering Iowa pushing into zone 5A. Heating degree days reflect that spread—around 4,000 in Cape Girardeau and the southeast lowlands, climbing past 5,600 in Kirksville and other northern towns that see winters closer to Madison, Wisconsin than to Memphis. The Ozark Plateau across the southern half of the state still supports a strong wood-heating tradition, with oak and hickory cordwood cut from the same forests that draw hunters and campers every fall.
That range means the right fireplace or stove in Joplin isn't necessarily the right one in Hannibal. This page is the starting point, not the answer. Enter your zip and fuel above to get routed to local resources, or browse by county or city below. Either way, you end up matched with a trusted local dealer—someone who pulls the actual permit, sizes the vent correctly, and knows what Ameren Missouri, Evergy, or Spire customers in your area are actually installing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wood, gas, pellet, or electric—how do I choose?
Match the fuel to your life, not the other way around. Wood: lowest fuel cost and total power-outage independence, but you're hauling and stacking. Gas: press a button, set a thermostat, no maintenance to speak of. Pellet: wood economics with automatic feeding, in exchange for weekly cleaning and a need for electricity. Electric: plugs in anywhere with honest supplemental heat. Nobody regrets the fuel that fits how they actually live.
Can a fireplace actually lower my heating bill?
Yes—by creating a comfort zone. A furnace heats every square foot of the house just to warm the one room you're in; a gas fireplace on low burns roughly a sixth of the gas a typical furnace does. Set the furnace around 55–60 degrees as a baseline, then heat the rooms your family actually uses. Families who heat this way commonly save $20–$60 a month.
What is an in-home preview and do I need one?
It's a visit where a hearth professional measures your space, confirms the model you picked actually works in your home, and walks the specs—framing, gas line, venting, finish work—before anything is ordered. Some details you just can't know until you see the house. Never make a down payment without one; it's the single most-skipped step that burns buyers.
I know I want a fireplace—where do I actually start?
Do two things today: snap a photo of the wall or fireplace you want to transform, and take a tape measure to the space—width, height, depth. Those two artifacts answer most of a hearth professional's first questions. Then settle fuel (wood, gas, pellet, or electric) and set a realistic budget: $3,900–$5,500 covers fireplace, vent, and basic install for most homes.
