THE BENEFITS OF SWITCHING TO A GAS FIREPLACE INSERT

The following are just three of the many benefits you will gain by choosing to convert to a gas insert:

Clean Burning

Gone are the days of cleaning ash and creosote after your fires. With a gas insert, your fireplace brings you all the joys of having a fire without any of the hassle. You also lose all the toxic byproducts and air pollution that comes with burning wood logs.

Energy efficient

Gas inserts come fully sealed, so you no longer have to worry about letting in a cold draft through the damper in your chimney. Every unit comes with an efficiency rating, so you know exactly how much you’re saving.

Minimal Maintenance

Gas fireplace inserts require minimal upkeep, as long as you ensure to have it inspected annually.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT INSERT REQUIRES ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS

No single insert works in every home. This is why we work with multiple, high-quality brands to deliver the best product that fits your needs. To determine your needs, we sit down with you in your home to survey the space and also get to know more about you and what you’re looking to achieve by converting to a gas insert.

  • What aesthetic are you looking for? Do you want the log look, or are you thinking about something more contemporary, like glass?
  • How often do you use your fireplace now, and how do you see that changing?
  • Will converting to an insert require extra work on your fireplace surround?

Once we gather all of this information and more, we can help guide you to the right gas fireplace insert for you and your home.
