Keep Your Fireplace Ambiance, and Boost its Warmth, With a Fireplace Insert!

 

On a cold Fussville day, nothing “warms” up a space (metaphorically speaking) like a blazing fireplace. The light, sound and movement all blend for a romantic, relaxing atmosphere.

 

Unfortunate reality is, an open-hearth woodburning fireplace hardly heats a space. Up to 90 percent of the fire’s heat goes up the chimney. An open fire actually sucks more heat out of a space than it could possibly return. Homeowners run a fire risk from airborne sparks landing on flammable surfaces, as well.

 

Want to make your fireplace experience safer, far warmer and more Transform it with a sleek, highly-efficient fireplace insert in Fussville!

 

Going directly into the fireplace opening, a fireplace insert for a woodburning fireplace is a self-contained component that directs heat directly into a room, rather than losing most up a chimney. The fire can be seen through a glass panel. The ambiance remains – along with far more warmth!

 

Homeowners can choose between gas fireplace inserts and wood fireplace inserts. Both are available from Butler Chimneys, your fireplace and chimney inspection company in Fussville. 

Which fireplace insert is for you?

 

A gas insert is ideal for those who want instant, low-maintenance fire. The fire literally turns on at the flip of a switch. Available in a wide selection of designs, gas fireplace inserts are fast, clean, and minimal effort to operate and maintain.

 

 

A woodburning fireplace insert creates significantly more heat than gas. The work required is much greater, though. A fire has to be physically ignited, wood added, and air controls adjusted to control the blaze. Because it burns so completely, a wood fireplace insert consumes much less timber than an open-hearth design. For those with unlimited or cheap sources of firewood in Fussville, a wood burning insert can be additional heating source for a home.

 

The choice between gas or woodburning is entirely user preference. Many Fussville homeowners proactively put in insert-style fireplaces for greater heat and cleanliness, often when designing homes.

 

The alternative situation for adding an insert is when a fireplace inspection reveals cracked or missing flue tiles. Installing a brand-new insert will avoid many issues, and is often less costly than making repairs. The decision might not be too hard.

 

Fireplace inserts are made of heavy-gauge sheet steel. The doors are cast iron, which allows fantastic heat conduction. Fire is completely enclosed within, seen through ceramic glass, and can be left unattended.

 

Smoke is expelled through a new stainless steel liner installed inside the chimney. Wood fireplace inserts use a single 6-inch liner; gas, two 3-inch liners, one for providing air to the firebox, and another for exhausting gases.

 

Butler Chimneys typically installs fireplace inserts – gas or wood – in homes in Fussville in one day. If the former is added, a new fuel line is run from a gas source elsewhere in the house.

 

New stainless steel chimney liners carry lifetime warranties. Their installation can sometimes allow homeowners to skip costly chimney repairs that would otherwise be needed to ensure safe venting of fireplace gases.

 

Another benefit of fireplace inserts? If power goes out, they remain a steady, reliable heat source. In severe weather, they can literally be a lifesaver.
