There’s a story behind AES Hearth & Patio, and this podcast episode is a great way to hear about our roots in this community.
Rick, the owner of AES Hearth & Patio, recently sat down with The Red Carpet Podcast for an easy, honest conversation about how AES got started, what keeps him motivated, and why the people behind the business matter just as much as the products.
It’s a simple, genuine listen that gives you a better sense of who Rick is and the heart behind AES.
How AES Hearth & Patio Got Started
In the episode, Rick talks about the early days of AES and what led him to start the company in the first place.
Like many small businesses, it didn’t begin with a big plan or fancy ideas. It started with a desire to do good work, treat people right, and build something he could be proud of. Over time, that approach helped AES grow into a trusted local business serving families across Central Pennsylvania.
The Heart Behind the Business
One thing that comes through clearly in the conversation is how much Rick cares about the people he serves.
He shares how important it is to take the time to listen, answer questions, and help customers feel confident about what they’re choosing for their homes. Whether someone is looking for a new fireplace, stove, or outdoor feature, the goal has always been to make the process feel comfortable, not rushed.
That mindset has shaped the culture at AES from day one.
