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

 

On a chilly Saylesville day, nothing “warms” up a room (metaphorically speaking) like a blazing fireplace. The light, sound and movement all blend for a romantic, relaxing ambiance.

 

Unfortunate truth is, an open-hearth woodburning fireplace hardly warms a space. Up to 90 percent of the fire’s heat escapes through the chimney. An open fire actually sucks more heat out of a space than it could ever return. Homeowners endure a fire risk from airborne sparks landing on combustible surfaces, as well.

 

Ready to make your fireplace experience safer, far warmer and more pleasurable)? {Upgrade with a sleek, highly-efficient fireplace insert in Saylesville!

 

Inserted directly into the fireplace opening, a fireplace insert for a woodburning fireplace is a self-contained appliance that propels 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 offered by Butler Chimneys, your fireplace and chimney inspection company in Saylesville. 

Which fireplace insert is for you?

 

A gas insert is perfect for those who want immediate, low-maintenance fire. The fire literally turns on at the flip of a switch. Available in a broad array 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 thoroughly, a wood fireplace insert uses much less timber than an open-hearth design. For those with unlimited or cheap access to firewood in Saylesville, a wood burning insert can be significantly heating source for a home.

 

The decision between gas or woodburning is entirely user preference. Many Saylesville homeowners proactively install insert-style fireplaces for greater heat and cleanliness, often when building 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 expensive than doing repairs. The decision might not be too hard.

 

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

 

Smoke is expelled via a new stainless steel liner added 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 Saylesville 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 permit homeowners to skip pricey chimney repairs that would otherwise be needed to ensure safe venting of fireplace gases.

 

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