What is a Fireplace Insert?
A fireplace insert can burn gas, wood, pellets or even electricity, and is inserted into an existing masonry fireplace; just like a stove can be. If you have a masonry fireplace that needs a facelift, an insert is there to fill the gap and rejuvenate your room. This means that it will exclusively take the place of your masonry fireplace, by connecting the insert to the chimney and flue leading outside. Sure this looks very similar to a fireplace, but it is definitely not the same thing. While you may not see the difference at first glance, there are many styles that make inserts and mason fireplace look very similar. Inserts are a low cost option compared to a complete renovation to install a gas fireplace, or completely replace your existing masonry fireplace. This is yet another reason why Inserts are so versatile. A fashionable choice, inserts can change the ambience of a room from traditional or rustic to contemporary.
Gas Inserts

For those people looking for a more efficient and practical way to heat important rooms, inserts can be a significant improvement over traditional fireplaces. Typical wood fireplaces are aesthetically pleasing and easy to operate. However, open-air fireplaces suffer from statistically low rates of efficiency (5-15%) when it comes to actually producing useful heat in your home. For that reason, many consider the advantages of installing a fireplace insert in the existing site, or adding a stove to colder rooms to maximize heat output.
Wood and gas stoves of the past were ugly, bulky blocks of iron with little visual appeal. Today’s stoves and wood burning inserts have large glass doors and windows to provide the beauty of a fireplace with the efficiency of a sealed combustion system.
