Many homeowners have wood-burning fireplaces they don’t like to use because operating them can be time-consuming and produce insufficient heat. But, a gas fireplace insert can convert an existing masonry fireplace into an energy-efficient heat source that reduces at-home energy costs. To learn more about how you can benefit from a fireplace insert, check out the guide below.

Why Do Homeowners Love Gas Fireplace Inserts?

1. Lots of Heat

A quality gas fireplace insert is much more efficient than masonry options. Depending on the model, an insert will heat rooms from 1,000 square feet up to 3,000 square feet, which makes it ideal for homes with open concepts. And because a gas fireplace puts off a flame immediately, you can instantly warm a room with a gas insert, unlike wood-burning fireplace and stove options.  

2. Clean Burning

Gas fireplaces are manufactured to meet EPA standards making them more environmentally-friendly than some other fireplace options. Unlike a wood-burning fireplace or pellet stove, a gas fireplace burns cleanly and won’t leave behind piles of ash, soot, or unburned materials. This eliminates the added chore of cleaning out your fireplace as it becomes full and reduces the risk of missing leftover hot coals hidden in the ash.

3. Easy to Use 

Operating a gas fireplace insert is as simple as flipping a switch. You can control the heat output with a thermostat, making an insert ideal for creating zoned comfort. A gas fireplace will put out heat when you want it, and extinguish quickly when you don't.

4. Versatile Designs

Gas inserts come in numerous finishes, shapes, and sizes, meaning you can always find a variety that suits your interiors. Some gas inserts mimic a classic fireplace design with ceramic logs, while others are sleek and modern, utilizing unique features like flames surrounded by glass pebbles. No matter what your tastes are, you can find a gas fireplace insert to make any room warm and inviting.
