About Us

Louisiana Fireplace was started in 1977 by Bill and Wanda Allison. The Miller Family bought the business in 2015.

We have always been locally owned and operated. We are a family, and we care about your family.

Our mission is to serve our customers and our community.

Each customer’s home is as unique as the family inside it.  We understand that; and we know that it is where you gather the people that you love.  So our staff will work hard to find creative solutions to the challenges of maintaining your fireplace and your home.

Our goal is to find solutions for your home.  We want your home to be your happy place.

At Louisiana Fireplace, we carry a full line of products for your fireplace.

Whether you prefer the roar and crackle of a wood burning fireplace or stove, the ease of a gas fireplace, or the simplicity of an electric fireplace, we have something for you. Our trained staff will work hard to ensure that your fireplace and your home is safe, beautiful, and affordable.

James Keihl
