Fireplace inserts are normally retrofitted into existing wood-burning fireplaces and usually they require no additions, such as glass doors, screens or other decorative accessories. Most fireplace inserts have a closed combustion chamber with ceramic logs and a glass front. Fireplace inserts are vented to the outside via a 3″ or 4″ liner and air intake which is attached to the insert and run up the existing chimney.
Fireplace inserts offer the same conveniences and safety features as complete gas fireplaces, with gas logs, warm air circulation, remote controls and other features. These benefits include:
- Natural gas fireplaces and fireplace inserts can help enhance the appearance and marketability of any home.
- Natural gas units reduce by up to 99 percent the amount of pollutants and particles emitted into the air compared to wood.
- Instant ON/OFF operation. Flip a switch or touch a remote control.
- Continuous fuel supply.
- No wood to chop or logs to haul.
- No soot, no ashes, no messy clean-up, no creosote buildup in your chimney, no chimney fires.
- No sparks to burn your carpet.
- Using natural gas fireplaces and fireplace inserts can cost as little as 25 percent of the cost of burning wood.
- Most operate independently of electric power, providing an auxiliary home heating source during power outages.
