One advisor for the whole home
Three things,
one purpose
Hearthbeats started with fireplaces and grew into outdoor kitchens and home audio — because all three do the same job: they make a home the place people want to gather. You talk to one person about all of it. We look at the space, recommend two or three options that genuinely fit, put the quote in writing, and coordinate delivery and installation with partners who do it every day.
Start here
Start from what you have
Most people arrive with a room and a problem, not with a product in mind. Find the line that sounds like yours.
- An open masonry fireplace that looks fine and heats nothingFireplace inserts
- A gas fireplace that lights on the third try, or not at allWhat to check first
- A blank wall — no chimney, no gas line, and no way to add oneElectric fireplaces
- A house being built or opened up, with the wall still unfinishedGas fireplaces For builders and architects
- A patio nobody uses once October comesOutdoor fireplaces Outdoor kitchens
- A room where music or a film should actually sound rightHome theater and audio
None of these quite it? Send a photo of the space and a rough measurement — that is usually enough for us to tell you what the options are.
Hearth
Fireplaces, inserts, and stoves
Gas, wood, and electric — for new construction, remodels, and the builder-grade fireplace that never really heated the room. We look at the space, the venting, and how you’ll use it, then recommend the units that fit.
- Gas fireplaces — direct-vent, linear, see-through
- Wood-burning fireplaces and inserts that turn an existing opening into a real heater
- Electric where there is no flue and no gas line
- Outdoor fireplaces and gas log sets

Outdoor kitchens, sized before the stone is cut
Built-in grills and everything around them, plus griddles, pizza ovens, and fire pits. We give your contractor or landscaper the cut-out dimensions before the countertop is ordered.

- Griddles, pizza ovens, and fire pits
- Outdoor refrigeration, access doors, and drawers
- Cut-out dimensions for your contractor
Home audio
Home theater and audio that fits the room
Speakers, subwoofers, and the electronics to drive them — chosen for the room you have, not the biggest box on the shelf. For a serious purchase we can arrange a private listening session by appointment.
- Floorstanding, bookshelf, center, and surround speakers
- Subwoofers
- In-wall and in-ceiling speakers
- Amplifiers and processors that match the speakers

From a customer
What our customers say
I had an outstanding experience with Hearthbeats! I reached out looking for a solution for my vent-free fireplace, and Jesse’s knowledge and expertise were immediately clear. He walked me through the options and recommended replacing it with a Twilight indoor/outdoor fireplace that vents safely outside — the perfect upgrade I didn’t even know existed. The new fireplace is absolutely beautiful and adds a luxury feel to both our living room and our deck area.

Common questions
Where are you based, and which areas do you serve?
Boyds, Maryland. We serve Montgomery County — Potomac, North Potomac, Bethesda, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Clarksburg, Poolesville, Darnestown and nearby communities. Hours are Mon–Fri 9–6, Saturday and Sunday by appointment. Not sure you’re in range? Ask — we’ll tell you straight.
Can you help with more than one of these — say, a fireplace and the audio in the same room?
Yes, and that’s where one advisor helps most: the fireplace, the TV above it, and the speakers around it get planned together, so nothing fights for the same wall or the same wiring run.
Do you have a showroom?
No. We work by appointment — at your home or remotely with photos and plans. For products you’d like to see in person, we can point you to nearby manufacturer displays.
Do you install? Who is responsible for the installation?
We don’t install — Jesse isn’t a licensed contractor, and hearth, gas, and audio work belongs with specialists. We line up an installer we’ve worked with, lock in their price before you order, then hand you the details. We take nothing for the installation: that contract is between you and them. We stay involved on specs, delivery, and hand-off.
What does a consultation cost?
Nothing. Reviewing your photos, measurements, and options is free. You pay only when you order a product.
How do I get started?
Send a few photos and rough measurements through the form on this page, or call 240-988-9177. We’ll come back with options — usually within one business day, and we can normally meet within about 72 hours.
