Want more heat from your open fireplace? Take a look at wood fireplace inserts as they are efficient, attractive, and available in a variety of styles. All feature an open view of the fire, some have decorative grillwork over the glass, and many have a variety of trim options. Traditional open fireplaces can have efficiency ratings as low as 15%, and can actually draw the heat out of your home! Inserts are basically fireplaces in a metal box that fit into your existing metal or masonry fireplace to transform it into an efficient source of heat. Wood inserts can achieve efficiency ratings as high as 71%, and may be used as a primary heat source in a mid-sized home
A terrific way to heat a smaller home or room and still enjoy the sights and sounds of wood. Clean burning and efficient, this is definitely the answer to drafty, open fireplaces.
