Yes, it is true. Traditional, open faced masonry fireplaces just aren’t as efficient as the gas insert fireplace. Every time you start up those traditional fireplaces (and that takes a lot of effort), you lose heated air every minute. When the warm air is leaving, the cold air from your windows, doors and other parts of your home are drawn to the fireplace. The room still feels warm, but the rest of your house is getting a little bit colder. Now your furnace has to work harder to heat the rest of your house, and this results in higher heating costs, which nobody wants or needs.
Efficient Operation and Quick Installation
How do you fix this problem without suffering from high energy bills and a drafty home? The answer is simple: a gas fireplace insert! Gas Fireplace Inserts fit directly into the opening of your existing open faced fireplace and now, besides the enhanced heating performance, you have given your home more style and money-saving efficiency.
By placing a gas fireplace insert into an existing masonry fireplace, you’ll not only update the look of your home, but you’ll also be enjoying a more efficient, clean-burning fire with the flip of a switch. And, it’s faster and less expensive than many people may think, and the whole transformation can usually be installed and ready to go in just a couple hours.
Choose Your Preferred Design
Fireplace inserts come in different designs allowing homeowners to find an insert that fits their needs for style and performance. Gas inserts offer superb easy-to-use technology and comfort. Installation involves setting up a gas line to your fireplace, which gives you the freedom to enjoy a warm, relaxing fire with just the touch of a button. These modern gas fireplace inserts also add value to your home.
Replacing your drafty, inefficient masonry or old no clearance fireplace with a new quality gas fireplace insert is the perfect solution to improve your heating efficiency for a warmer, much cozier home that saves you money. You can choose from different designs that match your home’s décor.
