Why Choose a Gas Fireplace Insert?
There are plenty of reasons why gas fireplace inserts continue to be one of the most popular fireplace upgrades in American homes. Here is what makes them stand out:
Serious heating efficiency: A gas fireplace insert fits snugly into your existing firebox and uses an insulated liner to push heat directly into your room. Unlike open wood-burning fireplaces that send most of their heat up the chimney, a well-rated gas insert can heat a significant portion of your home for a fraction of the cost.
Cleaner operation: No wood to haul, no ash to clean up, and no creosote buildup in your chimney. A natural gas fireplace insert or propane gas fireplace insert burns clean and produces minimal byproducts, making it much easier to maintain year after year.
Two fuel options: Our lineup includes both natural gas and propane models. Whether your home is connected to a gas line or relies on a propane tank, we have a fireplace gas insert that works for your setup.
On-demand comfort: Most of our gas inserts for fireplace use feature simple remote controls or wall switches. You get instant flame and heat at the press of a button, with no kindling, no waiting, and no mess.
Better home value: A gas fireplace insert is a recognized home improvement that adds appeal and function to your living space. Buyers consistently rank fireplaces as a desirable feature, and a clean, working gas insert is far more attractive than a dusty, outdated wood burner.
Fits your existing fireplace: You do not need to tear out walls or install a brand-new unit from scratch. Fireplace gas inserts are built to slide into your current opening, which keeps installation costs lower and the project timeline shorter.
FAQ — Gas Fireplace Inserts
How does a gas fireplace insert work?
A gas fireplace insert is a standalone device that slides into a prefabricated fireplace opening or your existing masonry. It uses a sealed combustion system with a metal liner that ascends your chimney and connects to your gas line. The insert draws in air, burns gas to produce heat and flame, and vents exhaust safely outside. A blower fan then circulates warm air into your room.
What are the different types of gas fireplace inserts?
Natural gas and propane are the two most popular fuel types for gas fireplace inserts. These include vented inserts, which exhaust through your existing chimney with a liner, and direct vent inserts that use a coaxial pipe for the venting system.
Can a gas fireplace insert be installed without a chimney?
Yes, in most cases, you do need an existing chimney or venting path for a gas fireplace insert. The insert uses a flexible metal liner that runs up your chimney to safely exhaust combustion gases.
Are gas fireplace inserts worth the investment?
Yes, for the majority of homeowners, gas fireplace inserts are worth the investment. They transform an ineffective, infrequently used wood-burning fireplace into a useful, effective source of heat.
Is it possible to add a gas insert to an existing fireplace?
Yes, you can put a gas insert in most existing fireplaces. That is exactly what our fireplace gas inserts are built for. As long as your firebox meets the minimum size requirements for the insert you choose, installation is straightforward.
Is it hard to replace a gas fireplace insert?
No, replacing a gas fireplace insert is not particularly hard, but it does require a licensed professional for the gas line connection and liner installation. The physical process involves removing the old unit, installing a new flue liner, and sliding the new insert into place. Most installations are completed in a single day.
