Fireplace Insert Benefits

While wood and pellet-burning fireplace inserts have been around for a long time, today’s high tech units offer great heating efficiency and enhanced design options so they will look attractive in your home; matching that country, modern or other decorating style you’ve gone to great lengths to give your home! Wood fireplace insert benefits include:

  • Enhanced fireplace efficiency
  • Clean burning and easy operation
  • Cuts home heating costs
  • Improved fuel efficiency and fuel options
  • Lower combustion air emissions, environmentally friendly
  • Helps heat a home during power outages
  • Depending on the existing chimney and fireplace vent design, most fireplace inserts are easy to install and have a fan to help move warm air into the living space. Inserts are generally made of steel or cast iron, with insulated glass doors for enhanced performance.

    A well-designed insert is very efficient. These units are made to heat the house; not just provide a pretty flame in the fireplace! Fireplace inserts can be retrofitted to fit almost any existing masonry or factory-made fireplace. Inserts may burn gas, wood or wood pellets made of wood by-products.

    While they are generically referred to as “wood fireplace inserts”, these heating units are available for a variety of fireplace fuels including coal, oil, natural gas, liquid propane, wood and wood by-products or pellets. This makes fireplace inserts quite versatile in an uncertain time of increasing fuel prices and regional fuel availability.

    An EPA-certified insert can reduce the emissions from a wood burning fireplace to nearly zero, making them more eco-friendly than a traditional wood fireplace.

    The insulated glass doors on a fireplace insert are designed to slow the fire and increase the temperatures for more complete combustion inside the combustion area. This can cut heating costs and helps the home feel warmer, since inserts are also designed as heaters, optimized to maximize radiant heat flowing into the living space.
