MY STORY
My journey with fireplaces began at a young age, deeply rooted in my family's rich history in the hearth business. Growing up, I spent countless moments with my dad, from tending to the wood stove late into the night to accompanying him on deliveries and sales calls, immersing myself in the industry firsthand. It all started in our family garage with "Nestleton Stove Works," a small shop that my dad opened in 1981.
Transitioning from his factory job to dedicating himself full-time to the hearth business, my dad relocated the store to Port Perry, crafting a new identity for the company - Overridge Fireplace. Over the course of the next decade, he expanded his brand to encompass three retail locations and a robust distribution network for the flourishing Napoleon brand.
My entire life has been intertwined with fireplaces. From the age of 14, I worked in the shop, progressing from cleaning old wood stoves to assisting customers in the showrooms. As I delved deeper into the business, I helped with installations, learning the intricacies firsthand alongside our dedicated crews. Over six years of working side by side with my dad, I seized opportunities for growth - from collaborating with store managers to spearheading the opening of additional locations. These experiences instilled in me the confidence to establish Fire Away in 2004.
Driven by a profound passion for this industry, I extend a heartfelt invitation to join me in continuing our story. Explore our showrooms in Bowmanville, Cobourg, Port Perry and Uxbridge to experience firsthand the dedication and expertise that defines Fire Away. Let our team of experts assist you in finding the perfect solution for your project or home.

The two guys that came and installed it were professional and very nice people. They did a neat and tidy job and very quickly also. Thanks for coming to the house and helping us decide on which fireplace to install and also for the follow-up advice on how to finish the exterior decor. We will gladly recommend your business in the future. Oh, by the way everyone we come across who has done business with your company feel the same as far as customer satisfaction is concerned.

This wasn't my first time asking Fireaway for their help. Over the last 10 years they have installed 3 fireplaces for me and each time I've been very pleased with their work. Most recently my old chimney created obstacles that required extra work and extra patience from the installers who were hard working young professionals in my opinion. My in office experience with Fireaway has been equally pleasant. I'd be happy to recommend them to anyone. I'm confident that you will be happy with their work, top to bottom.

What a fantastic experience I had from beginning to completion of installation of propane insert. From the moment I walked into the shop in Bowmanville I received exceptional care. Great communication with Nick. He came to our home in Hastings and was more than pleasant to deal with. Appointment for install was right on date and time and the fellows were very respectful and completed the job in a timely manner. Oh and I must not forget his beautiful receptionist at the shop. You are a beautiful wonderful lady to be your first point of contact. Thank you to all!! Choose these guys and their fabulous company they will not disappoint.

We’re very satisfied with the value and customer service provided by Nick and his team at Fire Away in Bowmanville. We recently arranged with Fire Away for the removal of our old gas fireplace and replacement with a Napoleon gas fireplace. We had previously bought a Big Green Egg barbecue from them and returned because we were pleased with that earlier experience. We’re very happy with this recent experience, as well. Nick and his team are committed to ensuring complete customer satisfaction, and we strongly recommend their services.
