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

A wood-burning fireplace can offer significant supplemental heat for the room it's in, and potentially adjacent areas. However, it's generally not designed to be the primary heating system for a whole Detroit house, especially during cold Michigan winters. Pros can explain its heating capacity.

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth it?

Yes, for many Detroit homeowners with older fireplaces, inserts are a great investment. They dramatically increase heating efficiency by drawing room air, heating it, and circulating it back out, while burning wood more completely than an open hearth. This can save on heating costs.
