Will a wood-burning fireplace heat a house in Baltimore?

It can provide substantial supplemental heat for the room it's in and potentially adjacent areas. However, it's typically not efficient enough to be the sole heating source for an entire house, especially during colder Maryland winters. Pros can explain its heating capacity.

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth it?
