Will a wood-burning fireplace heat a house in Louisville/Jefferson County?

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 Kentucky winters. Pros can explain its heating capacity.

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth it?

For many homeowners with older, less efficient fireplaces, inserts are a smart investment. They significantly boost heating efficiency by capturing and circulating heat back into the room, while burning wood more completely. This can lead to savings on your overall heating costs.
