What are Wood Fireplace Inserts?

A wood fireplace insert is a self-contained, high-efficiency wood-burning stove specifically designed to be installed into an existing masonry firebox. Unlike simply building a fire in your old firebox, an insert creates a sealed combustion chamber, maximizing heat output and minimizing heat loss up the chimney. They come with a faceplate that seals against the fireplace opening, directing more heat into your living space.

Benefits of Installing a Wood Insert:

In addition to using your existing chimney without modifications, in most cases, upgrading to a wood fireplace insert offers a compelling array of benefits:

Remarkable Heating Efficiency

Wood inserts are significantly more efficient than open fireplaces, often achieving efficiency ratings of 70% or more. Inserts generate more heat with less wood, resulting in substantial savings on fuel costs.

Reduced Fuel Consumption

Thanks to their closed-combustion system, fireplace inserts burn wood more thoroughly, allowing you to use less fuel to achieve the same amount of heat, potentially reducing your wood consumption by up to one-third.

Cleaner Burning

Modern wood inserts feature advanced combustion technology that burns wood more completely, resulting in fewer particulate emissions. They emit considerably less smoke and creosote in a more environmentally friendly heating solution.

Less Sooty Buildup

The more efficient burn also leads to a reduction in creosote accumulation within your chimney flue. It not only makes cleaning easier but also significantly reduces the risk of chimney fires and exposure to harmful contaminants, enhancing safety.

Consistent and Controllable Heat

Unlike an open hearth, a wood insert provides more controllable heat output, making it a reliable supplemental or zone heating solution for your home.

Enhanced Safety

Its sealed combustion chamber helps prevent sparks or embers from escaping into your living space, adding an extra layer of safety compared to a traditional masonry fireplace.

Available in a variety of styles and finishes, our wood inserts can revitalize the look of an outdated fireplace, transforming it into a stylish focal point that complements your home’s decor. Whether you prefer a classic, rustic, or modern design, we have the perfect wood insert to match your style.

Do Wood Inserts Need Maintenance?

While wood inserts significantly simplify the wood-burning experience, they do require ongoing maintenance to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Regular ash removal is necessary to maintain proper airflow and burning efficiency.
The glass door should be cleaned periodically to ensure a clear view of the flames.
Professional chimney cleaning and inspection are still essential.

Adhering to these maintenance practices will ensure your wood insert performs optimally and safely for many years.
