Wood burning fireplaces have gotten a bad rap over the years. Old wives tales and stories circulate that they are not as efficient as gas. Decades ago that may have been true.

EPA certified units provide enough heating power to warm a room or series of rooms, while emitting almost no wood smoke. They also require less wood to build a comparable fire in a traditional fireplace. Sounds like a good head start on your heating bills!

Today's fireplace inserts are similar in function and performance to free-standing stoves, but are intended to be installed within the firebox of an existing open fireplace. Properly installed EPA certified wood stove and fireplace inserts offer numerous benefits. They not only burn wood safely and efficiently, they heat your home with much less smoke. There are also several options that can be added that can make your wood burning fireplace up to 90% more efficient!
