Insert Fireplace

An insert fireplace is an appliance that is installed into an existing fireplace. It can be a wood-burning or gas fireplace. You can even find a prefabricated wood fireplace that will fit into the existing fireplace.

Installing a gas fireplace insert

Installing a gas fireplace insert can be a simple and effective way to heat a room without using wood or fuel. It also eliminates the need for regular sweeping and ash buildup. It is also more energy efficient and less expensive than a traditional fireplace. In addition, you can connect the gas insert to a thermostat for convenience and control.

While installing a gas fireplace insert is a relatively simple task, it is not recommended for homeowners without prior experience. Some areas do not allow the installation of a gas fireplace insert due to local building codes. Therefore, it is important to check with your local code enforcement agency before starting any work. In addition, some areas require that gas fireplace inserts be installed by a licensed professional. This is important as working around gas lines can be dangerous.

Choosing an electric fireplace insert

When choosing a fireplace insert, you should look for features that will make the unit easy to use. You can choose one with a remote control or an LCD display and even adjust the flame effects. You should also consider the placement of the fireplace in the room. The location should be central in the living area, so that it can be the focal point. In addition, the electric fireplace insert must be placed near a power outlet.

Before installing your electric fireplace insert, you should measure the space. If the opening is uneven, it can cause problems and can even pose safety hazards. After the installation, make sure that you check the performance of the unit.
Choosing a propane fireplace insert

If you've been thinking about replacing your old fireplace with a propane fireplace, then you've come to the right place. These fireplaces operate on clean propane or natural gas, and they burn much cleaner than wood. They also allow you to control the amount of heat that is generated. And unlike wood, propane fireplace inserts are easy to install.

Gas inserts come in many styles and BTUs. Smaller versions are good for small rooms, and larger ones are great for heating large rooms or basements. You can find models that heat a few hundred square feet or up to three thousand square feet. Before making your purchase, remember to take measurements of the room you would like to heat. Also, you'll need to decide whether you want direct venting, which draws fresh air from the outside and exhausts outside the home.
