According to survey results published in the June 27 issue of Home Builder Executive, leading home builders use Heatilator® and Heat & Glo™ brand gas fireplaces from Hearth & Home Technologies more than any other brand.
Conducted and funded by Home Builder Executive, results from the fifth-annual category survey indicate that 70% of the surveyed leading home builders offer gas fireplaces from Hearth & Home Technologies for their homes.
“This survey affirms that leading builders continue to rely on our Heatilator and Heat & Glo brand gas fireplaces to deliver the hearth experience homebuyers seek,” said Roger Oxford, Senior Vice President, New Construction Channel, Hearth & Home Technologies.
“In addition to our strong brands, builders forge relationships with us because we offer a fully integrated and aligned national distribution network that ensures on-time installations and professional hearth service.”
The magazine’s research staff surveyed purchasing executives from the nation's top builders such as Lennar, Pulte Homes and D.R. Horton to determine which suppliers/brands they are currently offering in their homes. Responses were weighted based on the builders' purchasing power.
