What is a Gas Fireplace Insert?

 

A gas fireplace insert is a tool used to improve the heating efficiency of a traditional wood-burning fireplace. In simple terms, a gas fireplace insert is a closed combustion system consisting of a fireproof box wrapped in steel or iron with an insulated glass front. The metals hold the heat while a blower pushes warm air out into the room. A fireplace insert is much more efficient than a traditional fireplace because a wood-burning unit loses much of its heat up the chimney, whereas an insert keeps the warmth in the room.

 

Why Should I Consider a Gas Insert for My Fireplace?

 

Gas inserts appeal to homeowners for multiple reasons.

• Gas inserts save time. To build a fire in a traditional wood-burning fireplace, you have to bring in the right kind of wood and kindling. Then you have to get it started and keep it going. With a gas insert, all you have to do is press a button. With some models, the button is on a remote. so you don't even have to leave your chair.

• Gas inserts are cleaner. With a wood-burning fireplace, the wood is messy, leaving bark on your floors and bringing in pests like ants and beetles. When the fire is out, you have to clean the ash out of the fireplace. You don't have to worry about any of those tasks with a gas insert.

• Gas inserts don't make your house smell bad. A wood-burning fireplace may make your home smell like smoke, which is unpleasant to many people. Smoke causes a burning sensation in the eyes for some as well. Fireplace gas inserts burn cleanly without any odors to permeate your home, furniture, and clothes.
