Are you paying excessively for your central heating system on a monthly basis and is it becoming quite unaffordable? Or, are you paying excessively despite the fact that you can afford it? The solutions available to help you reduce these costs and also experience the cozy warmth you desire within your living spaces. The answer is a gas insert fireplace. Regardless of if you have an existing wood-burning fireplace in the chimney of your home, you can still benefit from the installation of one of these inserts and enjoy efficient fireplace heat.

Wood Burning Fireplaces of the Past

The fireplaces of the past that burned wood and produced smoke and soot did give off a certain pleasant odor too many people. They were very charming and yet required much more cleanup time then present day modern fireplaces do. Also, the efficiency of the old style wood-burning fireplaces was very low – only 5 to 15% in many cases. Much of the heat was lost either into the surrounding chimney material or up through the chimney to the outside air.

New Efficient Gas Fireplace Inserts

You can leave the old inefficient fireplaces of the past behind with a new gas insert fireplace unit. These units function in an enclosed iron fireproof box having insulated glass in front. This closed combination system produces heat that is kept within the unit by and large and then dispersed into the room. A blower often accompanies these units that distributes the air into the room and draws it back into the unit.
