Nothing compares to the warmth and ambiance of a wood fire. If you own an underused or inefficient open fireplace, consider the benefits of a wood insert.
Think of an insert as a wood stove modified to fit into your existing fireplace. You keep all the comfort and beauty of a wood fire and gain higher efficiency and lower energy use.
Why Choose a Wood Insert
An open fireplace sends much of its heat up the chimney. An insert closes off the opening with a sealed firebox and a glass door, so more heat stays in your home. You can add a blower to move warm air further into the room.
We install EPA certified, high-efficiency wood inserts. Like our freestanding stoves, they are rated to heat an entire household, so an insert can serve as your sole source of heat during the heating season.
Secondary combustion reburns most of the smoke and gases inside the firebox. You get less creosote building up in your flue, a lower risk of a chimney fire and less smoke outside. You also burn less wood for the same heat.
Who a Wood Insert Suits
- Homeowners with a masonry fireplace they rarely use
- Anyone with a supply of firewood who wants lower gas, propane or electric bills
- Families who love a wood fire and want more heat in the room
