What Is a Wood Fireplace Insert?
A wood fireplace insert refers to a self-contained unit that is inserted into an existing brick or masonry fireplace with exterior venting. Generally, an insert is much smaller than an actual fireplace and includes a glass front to give it a complete look.
Converting your existing fireplace to a wood burning fireplace using an insert provides your home with an extremely efficient heating source. A wood burning insert can heat an entire level of your home which drastically cuts on home heating costs throughout the year. On top of this, unlike electrical heating appliances, a wood fireplace provides your family with a comfortable source of heat during a power outage.
Many homeowners opt for wood burning inserts if they have an existing fireplace and want a new look and added benefits without having to replace the entire fireplace.

- Provide natural light without increasing electricity bills
- Offer a reliable source of heat during power outages
- Emit a homely scent

FAQs
Should I buy a stove, masonry insert or fireplace that is too big for the area I want to heat?
This is the age-old question, bigger is never better. All hearth appliances need to operate in their entire heating range. Running a hearth appliance on low all the time so it is not going to heat you out of the room is a poor choice.
Hearth appliances are made to be enjoyed while they are running, and the vast majority will run better when they run continuously when used.
A smaller stove will run longer but the objective is to enjoy the ambiance of the appliance, the heat loss and size of the room comes into play when choosing the size right product for you.
