Welcome to our site! Here you’ll be able to find many suppliers of all kinds of wood fireplace inserts in exactly the brand, style, and size that you’re looking for. With the wide variety of choices available, you’ll be able to find the insert you need whether you’ve got a 100-year-old stone fireplace or a contemporary design that just needs an efficiency upgrade.

Fireplace inserts are a great way to turn drafty, inefficient fireplaces into a real heating source for your home. Without significantly changing the look of your fireplace, an insert is able to better capture the heat from a wood fire and distribute this heat back into your house. These inserts operate the same way as traditional wood stoves and can better control the way the fuel (wood) burns. It’s possible with a big log or two to have a fire that will burn all night, heating your home while you sleep. No longer will your fireplace be only for looks.

Unlike oil or coal, wood is a renewable resource. Wood is also carbon neutral – as trees grow they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This means that heating your home with a wood fire not only saves you money in heating bills, but it’s also great for the environment. Many newer fireplace inserts also include catalytic converters which divert the exhaust back through the fire to be “burned” a second time. Others contain secondary combustion devices which provide many of the same benefits without the need for periodic replacement. Both of these devices improve the efficiency of the stoves while decreasing the emissions.

Unlike traditional wood stoves, fireplace inserts rely on your existing fireplace, so the size of the firebox is limited by the existing space. This can effect the heat output of an insert somewhat, but since they are significantly more efficient it’s usually not an issue. If your existing fireplace was large enough for a fire, an insert for it will be able to put out lots more heat from the same size of fire.

In addition to retro-fitting existing fireplaces, many homeowners are building new homes with wood fireplace inserts. They don’t take up floor space like wood stoves, but still provide much of the efficiencies. Since there are many different designs available, it’s possible to fit an insert into nearly any style of home decor. Many fireplace inserts are traditional, but there are contemporary designs available as well.

In some areas, local authorities have started burn bans during times of higher air pollution. In many cases, the more efficient models of fireplace inserts are exempt from these bans due to their lowered emissions. Also many areas will give tax credits for these efficient “green” heating units which increases the savings even further.

With units that can heat areas as small as 800 square feet to monsters capable of heating a 3,000 square foot home, fireplace inserts can help turn an attractive-yet-inefficient fireplace into a green, cost-saving heater that can keep your whole house toasty-warm during the coldest winters. The best part is that they can often be installed with minimal modification to your existing fireplace or room, so the installation costs are often very reasonable as well. When you compare the costs to the long-term savings, wood fireplace inserts just makes sense.
