NFI Certified Staff
Harnessing the beauty and warmth of fire for the home is not a do-it-yourself project or something you should necessarily trust to the lowest bidder. Both for safety and performance, hearth products require considerable technical knowledge and skill in the designing and installation of them.
An excellent indication of competence is an individual’s training and testing. In the hearth products industry, the National Fireplace Institute® is the independent, nonprofit certification agency that produces professional training materials and conducts nationwide testing of technical knowledge and skills.
NFI Certification means that an individual has passed a rigorous examination based on a training manual that has been reviewed by industry experts. Certification may be earned by hearth industry professionals in three hearth specialties:
• NFI Gas Specialist
• NFI Woodburning Specialist
• NFI Pellet Specialist
Here are Hearth & Home, we believe it is important for our installation team as well as our sales staff and management to continue their education in the hearth industry. Today we are proud to have the most NFI Certified Hearth Specialists on staff in all of Illinois!
