Give your fireplace a make-over! Whether it's gas, wood, pellet or electric, a fireplace insert from Chimney Specialists, Inc., will give the fireplace a whole new look that will add value to your house and put money from lower heating bills in your pocket!
What is a Fireplace Insert?
Fireplace inserts are a great way to revive an existing fireplace and turn it into an efficient appliance that is easy to operate. A fireplace insert will provide heat to your home and prevent serious heat loss through the fireplace chimney.
An insert is basically a stove, without legs, that is designed to be slid into (or inserted) into your existing fireplace. A pipe is used to vent by-products of combustion and decorative panels are used to cover up the rest of the fireplace opening.
We have several sizes available, depending on the dimensions of your fireplace.
Wood Burning Fireplace Inserts
A wood-burning fireplace insert combines the charm of a natural wood fire with high efficiency. With a re-burn system, these inserts achieve up to 70% efficiency. Available in various materials like cast iron, steel, and stone, they offer optional fans for convective heat alongside radiant heat.
If you have a relatively quick and easy access to a wood supply, a wood burning insert may be the best option to reduce that gas or oil heating bill.
Gas Burning Fireplace Inserts
Gas fireplace inserts modernize old wood-burning fireplaces into efficient, safe heating appliances. Featuring adjustable gas valves and variable speed fans, they offer customizable warmth. Optional multi-function remote controls simplify operation for added convenience. Our professional gas technicians ensure proper installation and peak efficiency, typically exceeding 82%. Gas inserts are ideal for zone heating, focusing warmth on the areas where you spend most of your time. We have several gas inserts that should work well in your fireplace.
Pellet Fueled Fireplace Inserts
Pellet inserts are great options for updating old fireplaces. If you are looking for an environmentally friendly source of heat with a fuel that is easy to use, a pellet insert is going to work out well for you. The heat from a pellet insert is easy to control. Simply fill up the hopper (a storage bin in the appliance) with pellets, set the easy to use controls, relax and enjoy the heat! Depending on the feed-rate, (that is, how fast the pellets are delivered to the burn pot) pellet inserts can burn for many hours without needing to be refilled. Efficiencies of pellet inserts normally exceed 80%.
Electric Powered Fireplace Inserts
Although not as common as other inserts, we do offer inserts that will turn your existing fireplace opening into a beautiful electric powered faux fire that adds ambiance at the flick of a switch or the click of a remote.
No fuels to worry about just realistic flame displays complete with embers and effective space heating capabilities too.
Fireplace Inserts for Increased Efficiency
Did you know that a standard open burning fireplace is one of the most inefficient methods of heating your home and a source of significant heat loss? While a fireplace is a beautiful feature in any home, they can also be a bit problematic.
A fireplace insert will provide heat to your home and prevent serious heat loss through the fireplace chimney. Fireplace inserts are specifically designed to increase the efficiency of a masonry or zero clearance fireplace. If you are looking to eliminate the heat loss and increase the efficiency of your home , installing a fireplace insert might be the best choice for you.
