Depending on several factors, a traditional masonry fireplace will operate at around 20% efficiency, and sometimes even less.  That’s not very much heat getting into your home.  It’s for this reason that more and more people who use masonry units to take a step up to a fine new wood fireplace insert.
Stop missing out on the heat this winter – a new wood fireplace insert gives you the beauty of a wood fire but also high heat that no masonry fireplace can match.

Many styles of fireplaces, inserts and stoves are available today, but there are people who will always go with heating appliances fueled by wood.  There’s something about a roaring wood log fire with its leaping flames and crackling embers that’s hard to beat.  Problem is, traditional wood fireplaces tease you with lovely fires but leave much to be desired when it comes to producing heat you can actually use.

Wood Fireplace Inserts = High Heat

Modern wood fireplace inserts are the answer to your heating problems.  Inserts are factory-built and come in various sizes to allow them to perfectly fit into the open fireboxes of masonry units.  Once installed, the insert’s closed combustion system generates and retains high levels of useable heat.  How much heat?  Efficiency ratings for wood inserts are commonly above 70% - meaning about three-quarters or more of the heat your appliance generates is available to heat your room.
