Born in the late 1970’s from the
vision of two masons trying to stay warm during the energy
crisis, Sebastian Vecchione and Joe Visconti opened the House of
Warmth V&V WoodStoves Inc. In the
beginning, it was a side business during the evenings while they
preformed masonry work during the day, but the demand was so
great that they soon decided to sell heating appliances full
time and keep masonry as their side business.
During the first year, they sold over 1,400 Kero Sun
kerosene heaters. (They still have
the very first Kero Sun heater ever exported to the USA on
display in the show room; no, it’s not for sale.)

Since the humble beginnings of the House of Warmth, it has grown to include pellet stoves, woodstoves, coal stoves, gas stoves, fireplace inserts, fireplaces, wood pellets, propane, kerosene, hearth accessories, spas, grills, and just about anything else you might use to stay warm (except electricity and firewood.) You will find brand names such as Lopi, Hearthstone, Avalon, Majestic, Fireplace Xtrordinair, Waterford, Mission, Enviro-Fire, Hydro Spa, plus many others. Mr. Vecchione is now the sole owner and runs the store with his long time friend Robert Ferriss.
When you walk through the doors of the House of
warmth, you will find hundreds of stoves and heaters to select from
during the heating season and lots of backyard fun stuff like spas,
grills, awnings, and chimeneas during the spring and summer months.
Of course, you may purchase any item, any time of the year, even
if it is not on display. Just ask Sebastian
or Bob.
