If you live in an older home with a wood burning fireplace, you may love its charm. It might have been a real draw when you bought your house. Who doesn’t like the romantic idea of a crackling fire, the warmth and the glow? Then reality struck. You’ve got logs to split, a fire to tend, and ashes to sweep. It’s not as easy and romantic as it sounded – not to mention the fireplace can get cold and draughty when there’s no fire burning.

Save the Fireplace
There’s no denying that a fireplace adds value to your home and can be a great enhancement to a cold winter day. Now you can turn your old wood burning fireplace into an efficient and loved accessory with modern gas fireplace inserts. You love your fireplace, you just don’t love all the work that comes with it. These inserts give you everything you love about your old wood burner, without all the things you don’t like about it.

So What is an Insert?
You’ve obviously heard of wood burning fireplaces and gas fireplaces, but you may not have heard about modern gas fireplace inserts. These devices convert your wood burning fireplace to a gas fireplace. That’s pretty simply put, but that’s what they do. They are a log set and burner inside a metal box inside a larger box that fits inside your existing fireplace. Inserts not only make your fireplace more efficient by eliminating draughts, they also make your life easier.

More Use
You will use and enjoy your fireplace even more. Picture it. It’s a cold and snowy day. You’ve had a long day at work and your commute home was even longer. You just want to relax. Wouldn’t a fire be nice? Not if you have to haul in the logs, hope they burn, tend the fire and put more logs on the fire. If you just had to push a button to enjoy the warmth, the glow, the relaxation a fireplace gives, wouldn’t you use your fireplace more and enjoy it even more? Inserts will give you all the enjoyment and none of the work. There are different styles, finishes, colors and designs from which to choose. You’ll be able to find one that complements your home.
