Wood Fireplace Inserts

A wood fireplace insert can completely revamp your masonry fireplace into more than just an aesthetic feature. A masonry fireplace only has an efficiency rating of about 10%, which can mean that your fireplace is pulling more heat out of your home than it provides. While creating memories beside the fire is vital to many homeowners, saving energy costs is also crucial. Wood fireplace inserts are increasingly recognized as stylish appliances with significant benefits. Read more about the top three benefits below!

Energy Efficiency -

Fireplace inserts have an innovative design with up to 80% heating efficiency. Inserts can be made of cast iron or steel and are built to be installed inside existing fireplace masonry or zero-clearance fireplaces. Ensuring that the chimney is correctly lined for use with an insert is also necessary.

Fuel Efficiency -

Wood fireplace inserts have a burning environment that allows firewood to burn more efficiently, resulting in less heat loss. These inserts can save you time, money, and energy regarding firewood supplies. The wood you use will provide much more heat.

Prevent Air Leakage -

Many homeowners don't realize how much air can exit a chimney, even with the damper closed. Even though standard procedure dictates the damper in a masonry fireplace should be closed when not in use, they rarely have an adequate seal to prevent the heated air in a home from escaping. You can compare a traditional fireplace to a window in your home that is open year-round. Air leakage is no longer a concern when you have a wood fireplace insert.
