Types of Inserts
As the name suggests, a fireplace insert fits directly into your existing fireplace for a relatively quick upgrade with minimal disruption to your home. Inserts are available in three fuel types, each offering distinct advantages.
Gas Fireplace Inserts
Gas inserts offer the greatest degree of convenience since they burn natural gas or liquid propane, and are operated by a remote control or wall switch. They offer instant flames, warmth and ambiance, and because they don’t burn wood, there’s no ash to clean up. Look for Direct Vent gas fireplace inserts, as they’re the safest.

Wood Fireplace Inserts
Some people won’t settle for anything less than the authenticity, smell and sound of a wood-burning fireplace. If that’s you, an EPA-certified wood insert is a smart choice. Advanced combustion technology makes them the most efficient, cleanest wood-burning option available. Some units can heat for more than 10 hours on a single load of quality wood. And because they burn so completely, there’s minimal ash left behind.

Pellet Fireplace Inserts
Pellet inserts are heating powerhouses and a good choice if your home is serviced by costly fuel oil or liquid propane. Many pellet inserts offer advanced technology, such as a programmable thermostat and an automatic cleaning cycle, to heat your home cleanly, consistently and efficiently. You’ll also like the peace of mind that comes with a pellet insert knowing you’re using a renewable resource –pellets are made from byproducts like sawdust and wood chips.
