Getting plenty of heat and efficiency out of a traditional masonry fireplace can be challenging. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to solve these problems.
A gas or wood fireplace insert will transform your sluggish masonry fireplace into a genuine heat source that brings you the heat you want and the eye appeal you love.
American Chimney & Fireplace of Louisville, KY, has been helping our customers upgrade their old fireplaces since 2007. We’d like to share a little about fireplace inserts, including how they work and the benefits they provide.
What Fireplace Inserts Do
Inserts are factory-made to run on either wood or gas (or propane). They fit into the open firebox of an existing fireplace, usually a masonry fireplace.
Because of their “open” system, masonry fireplaces tend to lose most of their heat right up the chimney – as much as 90%. By comparison, fireplace inserts are designed to retain 70% or more of the heat they produce and make it available for your room. It’s a difference you’ll notice instantly.
Heat and a Lot More
Along with great heating performance, here are some other benefits you can expect from a new gas or wood fireplace insert.
- Efficient combustion lets you get more out of your fuel
- Reduced draftiness
- Highly insulated, solidly built
- Inserts vent through their own pipes that run through your existing chimney
- Compliance with all EPA regulations for emissions
- Gorgeous design styles and finishes to accent any room’s décor
