Erb’s Stove Center cozy stop in Ohio’s Amish Country
By Jennifer Kneuss
Humans have used fire to stay warm since the beginning of time, but the folks at Erb’s Stove Center have perfected the technique. Step into their showroom just east of Berlin, and you will immediately be struck by the warmth and coziness generated by the dozens of fireplaces and stoves throughout the store.
Duane Erb has carried on the business begun by his father, Edward Erb. More than a quarter century worth of knowledge and expertise is priceless to Erb’s Stove Center customers. The difficulty in visiting Erb’s is not in finding a fireplace or stove that you like, but rather in finding one that you don’t. Whether you are searching for traditional wood burning, gas, pellet, or electric models, the center’s dazzling display of the very best in brand names and varieties is sure to please even the most discriminating customer.
With industry leader names like Napoleon Quality Fireplaces and Vermont Casting Stoves, Erb’s Stove Center assures its customers that they are purchasing quality, dependable units to last for years to come. The designer options are limitless, too. Features may include arched double doors or even 24-karat gold-plated upper decorative surrounds and grills, keystones, and more, so each customer can find the exact fireplace for their home décor needs. Fireplaces are earth-friendly, too, as they use renewable resources. High-tech features eliminate heating problems of yesteryear, and assure the highest in energy efficiency.
The fireplaces at Erb’s are nestled in cozy, home-like settings. Mantel and wood choices are plentiful. One featured fireplace is made of maple, and has a build-in mantel with a full entertainment center and bookcases. Still others feature intricate laser wood engraving, decorative tiles, hewn beams, slate tile, and color and finish choices like cream, black, sage, oak, rust, satin chrome, wrought iron, or even a natural pine with bark still attached. There are aged iron, bronzed, brick, stone, and marble fireplaces and mantels, often with beautiful and uniquely styled beveled surrounds.
Erb’s Stove Center specializes in meeting the individualized needs of their customers. With the facilities to manufacture their own mantels, they can offer homeowners almost countless options, and will work closely with them to match existing woodwork or to design a fresh, new look for living spaces. Those shopping for the perfect stove or fireplace can even bring in a picture that they may particularly like, and the staff at Erb’s will work with them to recreate that look. Staff members provide the materials, information, and education to complement the customer’s own creative ideas.
Nostalgic and functional cook stoves are an important part of the center’s offerings, too. Erb’s also carries a line of non-electric kitchen appliances, including refrigerators and freezers.
When visiting Erb’s Stove Center, don’t forget to check out the extensive line of grills, chimenea stoves, and firepits, and fireplace and grill accessories. These make great gifts all year round.
Erb’s isn’t just a winter warmth store. In addition to grills, they also carry quality Coleman camping supplies, cornhole game sets, birdhouses, rockers, and other outdoor furnishings, play equipment, and décor. Warm weather visitors can enjoy relaxing in their outdoor display areas as they take a break from a hectic day.
Regardless of the season – winter, spring, summer, or fall – be sure to include a memorable visit to Erb’s Stove Center in your trip through Ohio’s Amish Country.
The store is located 1.5 miles east of Berlin, on SR 39, and is open Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact Erb’s Stove Center at 330-893-3903 for all of your home fireplace and stove needs.
