In 1980, Dan Binzer started a company called Canadian Heating to provide design, engineering and manufacturing of gas fireplaces, under the brand name Montigo. The mid 1980’s were a pivotal time for fireplace manufacturers with the discovery of new technology allowing fireplaces to be “directly vented“. Montigo took advantage of this new technology and by the 1990’s was exclusively manufacturing gas fireplaces.
Today Montigo manufactures more than 70 direct vent gas fireplace models, in addition to offering completely custom fireplace design for both residential and commercial spaces.
