He used the name <em>La maison du foyer<\/em> for its operations in Quebec. In 1978, he broke away from HF and launched<em> La Maison D.F. inc<\/em>. In the early 80s, the concept of a heating specialist did not exist. However, the founder firmly believed in it and used his vast experience in sales and marketing to help retailers become true specialists. His slogan \u201cThe expert serving specialists\u201d is still used today.<\/p>\n<p>In 1983, he founded the <em>Association des professionnels du chauffage \u00e0 combustible solide (APCCS)<\/em> with other industry members to provide an independent voice for heating professionals before governmental bodies. This organization became the <em>Association des professionnels du chauffage (APC)<\/em>, the oldest association of heating professionals in America.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, La Maison D.F. became a major distributor of heating products when Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Fauteux, the founder\u2019s son, joined the family business. Jean-Fran\u00e7ois repositioned the company to take advantage of new trends in design and fuels, particularly gas and pellets. He also implemented a computerized business process. These changes accelerated the growth of La Maison D.F.<\/p>\n<p>In 2016, the company acquired JADE heating products and began merging its operations. Some years later, in 2023, the expansion took an interprovincial form with the acquisition of Urban Hearth, an Ontarian distributor.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing its development under its new identity, Coval is positioned as one of the most important distributors of high-end heating and barbecue products in the east of Canada.<\/p>\n<p>The products we offer have generated strong emotions and comfort for the consumer over the years. It is a significant source of recognition and profitability for our retail network. Our role is important in many people\u2019s lives. Your experience with Coval is at the core of our actions and we want to make that you enjoy our products as much as we do. Our ability to consistently deliver excellence in our work demonstrates that our success didn&#8217;t happen by chance, but with a lot of work and dedication.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">OUR MISSION<\/h2>\n<p>Our mission is to enhance the value of our specialized retailers.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, SMEs are the core of the North American economy.
