GAS INSERTS!
Putting a gas insert inside your wood burning fireplace is a great upgrade when you don’t want to worry about any open flame issues and having a constant reliable heat source for those cold winter months.
Is my wood fireplace energy - efficient?
NOPE! A wood-burning fireplace is not energy efficient. This is because 90% of the heat produced is lost through the chimney. The heat in the room is only 10% of all heat. The hot air in the room can also be pulled back into the firebox and then released through the chimney. Wood-burning fireplaces are common in most homes because they add aesthetics to the room.

A gas insert requires a supply of natural gas to burn and so a gas insert must be connected to the household gas line when installed in order to work.
