What is a Fireplace Insert?
What is a Fireplace Insert?A wood-burning fireplace insert is a modern upgrade to your traditional fireplace. These self-contained units are designed to fit seamlessly into your existing masonry fireplace opening, transforming it into a more efficient and environmentally friendly heat source. Inserts are constructed with fire-resistant materials, making them a safe and controlled burning environment.
Wood-Burning Insert Benefits
A wood-burning fireplace insert gives traditionalists the best of both worlds: a natural wood fire experience without the pollution of a traditional fireplace.
- Efficiency: Unlike open fireplaces, where most heat goes up in smoke, wood-burning inserts capture and distribute heat throughout your living space, making them significantly more efficient as a primary or secondary heat source.
- Environmental Impact: By burning wood more completely, inserts produce fewer emissions, substantially reducing your carbon footprint.
- Appealing Styles: Enjoy the timeless ambiance of a wood fire while enhancing your fireplace's appearance.
- Cost-Effective: Wood-burning inserts can be a cost-effective way to heat your home, even during a power outage during a snowstorm.
- Easy Installation: Installation usually doesn't require significant modifications to your chimney, making it a convenient upgrade.
What type of Wood Can I Burn In An Insert?
You can burn hard and soft wood in a wood-burning fireplace insert, just like in a traditional open fireplace. Just ensure the wood has been seasoned or dried for at least six months. Some wood species burn hotter than others, so homeowners often choose their firewood based on the desired heat output level.
