Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about wood fireplaces
How much does a wood insert installation cost?
Wood insert installation typically costs between $3,000 and $8,000, depending on the model, chimney modifications needed, and installation complexity. This includes the unit, any necessary chimney work, and professional installation.
Will a wood insert fit in my existing fireplace?
Most wood inserts are designed to fit into standard fireplace openings. Our experts will measure your fireplace opening to ensure a proper fit. Some modifications may be needed for optimal performance.
How much more efficient are wood inserts than open fireplaces?
Wood inserts dramatically improve efficiency. Traditional open fireplaces are only 10-20% efficient, while modern wood inserts achieve 60-80% efficiency. This means you get 3-4 times more heat from the same amount of wood.
Do I need to modify my chimney for a wood insert?
Most existing chimneys can be used with wood inserts, but they may need a stainless steel liner for optimal performance and safety. Our experts will assess your chimney and recommend any necessary modifications.
Can I still see the fire with a wood insert?
Yes! Wood inserts feature large glass doors that allow you to enjoy the beautiful flames while maintaining efficiency. Many models also include blowers to distribute heat throughout the room.
How do wood inserts compare to gas inserts?
Wood inserts provide the authentic wood-burning experience with crackling sounds and dancing flames, while gas inserts offer more convenience with push-button operation. Wood inserts are generally more efficient for heating and have lower operating costs, but require more maintenance.
