About this service
An insert is a specialized unit that slides into an existing wood-burning fireplace to improve heat efficiency. Many older fireplaces are mostly decorative, allowing heat to escape through the chimney. An insert seals the opening and uses a blower to circulate warm air into your living space. If you find your current fireplace is too drafty or doesn't heat the room, an insert is likely the right fix. We provide exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
