How To Clean Brick Fireplaces

The Convenience of a Fireplace Insert.
Mike Yeager Publisher

Fireplace inserts are wood, pellet, or gas-fueled appliances that fit into a conventional open fireplace. Some models extend onto the hearth, while others stay flush with the front of the fireplace. Many fireplace inserts include aesthetic features such as decorative tile, cast iron, or enameled fronts, glass doors, and brass trim and handles.

The fireplace insert makes the fireplace more efficient in several ways:

1. The glass window keeps the chimney from pulling all your heat away.

2. The metal firebox heats up to transfer it into your home instead up the chimney.

3. The blowers help circulate the heat it produces.

4. A thermostat control keeps the temperature at your level.

There is a little more care to be taken of a fireplace insert that is wood. Improper installation, inadequate maintenance, and improper use are virtually always to blame if a home fire occurs. Locate a good wood supplier and burn only dry and seasoned natural firewood. When installing a fireplace insert, you have to make important safety commitments. A wood fireplace insert must be installed precisely according to code requirements and your stove and chimney must be cleaned annually. They should have good air flow so heat generated will circulate throughout your home.

Although gas fireplace inserts look just like wood fireplace inserts, they offer convenience, cleanliness, and versatile venting options. Gas fireplace inserts are an increasingly popular alternative to wood fireplace inserts. Gas or electric, the fireplace insert can heat several rooms or even an entire home. They offer even and thermostatic controlled heat and add a beautiful decor to your home.
