\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGas fireplace inserts are a popular option \u2013 and for good reason. They burn cleanly, cause no mess, and ignite quickly with a switch, button, or remote. Able to run on natural gas or propane, gas-burning fireplace inserts create high levels of heat with flames that closely resemble that of a real wood fire.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor some people, nothing beats the crackle, pop, and aroma of a natural wood fire in the fireplace. If this sounds idyllic to you, consider a new wood-burning fireplace insert. These are installed right into your existing firebox, and you won\u2019t believe the difference in how much heat they provide compared with your old open masonry fireplace. We also sell wood stoves<\/u><\/a> and cookstoves<\/u><\/a>.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Do Fireplace Inserts Need Annual Inspection & Sweeping Services?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYes, after your fireplace is up and running, you should maintain its safety and efficiency levels with annual chimney and fireplace inspections. We\u2019ll visit your home, check out every piece of the system, and if repairs are ever needed, our team will get them done quickly.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you operate a wood-burning insert or gas-burning insert, we recommend booking a thorough chimney cleaning once a year, as well. Our chimney sweeps will remove flammable creosote and any other obstructions to keep everything operating safer and cleaner.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Which Fireplace Fuel Is Best for You?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCan\u2019t decide between wood, gas, and electric? Here are some things to reflect on\u2026\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGas fireplace inserts commonly have efficiency ratings of 80% and higher, meaning most of the heat created by the appliance is heat that can be used to warm your home \u2013 and the people in it. In addition, gas inserts are ultra-convenient and very easy to maintain. A switch on the unit or a remote device gets the fire started, and because no wood is involved, you won\u2019t be having to clean up bark strips, ash, and wood chips around the hearth area\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen properly installed by a CSIA-certified technician, gas fireplace inserts are not only safe and powerful, but elegant and attractive. With all the styles, finishes, and colors available from leading manufacturers, you\u2019ll find a perfect fit for your space, no problem\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWood fireplace inserts, when installed properly, operate the same way as traditional wood-burning fireplaces \u2013 just with more efficiency. Essentially, you\u2019ll get the same aesthetics you know and love, just with a lot more heat. Wood-burning fireplace inserts commonly receive heat efficiency ratings of around 70% and higher, which, compared with the 20% efficiency levels of most open fireplaces, is a significant jump.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAs with any wood-burning appliance, annual cleaning is recommended to remove flammable creosote from inside the flue and ensure safe and efficient operation.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    What are the benefits of electric fireplace inserts? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tElectric fireplace inserts are highly energy-efficient since all the energy they use is converted into heat. Unlike wood or gas units, electric fireplaces require no venting system or chimney \u2013 which means blockages, buildup, and clogging will never be an issue. This also means maintenance is minimal, usually limited to occasional cleaning of the exterior and regularly checking that the unit is functioning properly.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThen there\u2019s the safety perks. Electric fireplaces remain cool to the touch, making them a safer option for households with children or pets. They also eliminate the risk of gas leaks or chimney fires.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
