Rod Poplarchick is a highly respected and influential figure in the hearth industries with over three decades of hands-on experience. His career began in 1990 when he co-founded the family business, Climate Control Systems, in Oakhurst, CA, alongside his parents, James and Jean Poplarchick. After securing his California heating and air contractor's license in 1993, Rod established himself as a tec

His online presence is a cornerstone of his influence.

Finally killed off that 15-year-old hearthtools.com layout and stopped the Facebook redirect loop. It only took a few grey hairs and some quality time with GoDaddy, but the new site is actually doing its job.

Go take a look at thestovedoc.com—it’s got the new video background and isn't a total embarrassment anymore.

Also, keep an eye out for my future Telehearth tech remote tech support services. I’m working on a way to help you guys troubleshoot your stoves via video/chat so you don't have to wait for a service call or get over-Charge by nonsense. It’s real tech for real stove owners.

Why I never liked over priced nest thermostat.

I use Home Assistant and my pellet stove thermostat control is a custom esp32 board directly to the stove .
