Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. They dramatically increase heating efficiency and reduce heat loss compared to open masonry fireplaces.

When you have a traditional fire, all the heat goes up your stack once the fire is out. Typically, a traditional fireplace operates at around 15-20% vs 65-80% efficiency for a gas insert!
They typically require a gas line, proper venting (through an existing chimney), and sufficient space in the fireplace cavity.
A gas insert fits into an existing fireplace opening and transforms it into a high-efficiency gas-powered heating source.
Some features, like blowers and electronic ignition systems, require power, but the basic ignition and heat function can often work without it. The main difference is that you will not have a blower in a power outage.
