The Benefits of Gas Fireplace Inserts
 
So, you've heard all about the advantages of gas fireplaces over wood-burning fireplaces: they're cleaner, they're safer, they're easier, and they look just as good. Now, you'd like to have one for yourself. The only trouble is, you already have a fireplace. Do you have to simply live with what you have? Do you have to remove your existing fireplace and install a gas one in its place? No. There is a much simpler and less expensive solution. All you need is a gas fireplace insert.
Gas fireplace inserts, as the name suggests, are inserted inside an existing fireplace to convert it to a gas-burning fireplace. The inserts can be installed in a traditional masonry unit or a prefabricated factory unit. They come with either a thermostat or a remote control. These inserts can cost as little as a couple hundred dollars or as much as several thousand dollars.

Gas fireplace inserts make decorating easy. They offer many options for the surrounding area. Some come with brick or tile. Others come with an empty frame in which you can add tiles. These tiles do not have to be grouted or permanently affixed--they simply slide in place. This makes it easy to change the entire look of your fireplace to match any décor.

Another advantage to gas fireplaces is their energy efficiency. A little known fact about wood-burning fireplaces is that they are a source of heat loss--they literally suck the hot air out of a room. Gas fireplaces, on the other hand, are energy and cost efficient. If you are planning to use your fireplace as a heating unit, you will need to buy inserts with a metal grille. Some units are available in which the grille is hidden or decorated. If, however, your fireplace is merely decorative, you do not need the grille at all.

Imagine at the touch of a button a soothing fire to keep you warm and add atmosphere to any room in your home. Gas fireplace inserts provide these comforts and much more. They will provide heat to your space that you and your family spend the most time in. These inserts convert a drafty old fireplace into an efficient heat source for your home.

From a traditional fire place with a mantel to a modern design that is sleek and contemporary you will find gas fireplace inserts to be a welcome addition to any room. They can be installed within existing traditional fire places or can come direct to you from the factory.

Gas fireplace inserts provide both radiant and convection heat to your space. They can be operated either manually or remotely using a wall thermostat and a remote thermostat transmitter. The flame characteristics of gas fireplace inserts are that they are very consistent. They are usually designed to give the look of partially burned logs or coals made out of ceramic. Gas flames rise up through the logs to replicate the look and feel of a wood fire. The fire can be adjusted to meet the desired heat output or visual mood you wish to achieve.

Gas fireplace inserts require annual maintenance by qualified technicians. Your local dealer will be able to assist you in this task. Other then cleaning the glass as needed and changing the batteries in the remote you will be able to enjoy a warm fire with little maintenance!
