  1. What Is a Fireplace Insert and How Does It Work? A fireplace insert is a self-contained unit that fits inside an existing wood-burning fireplace, converting it into a closed combustion system. It features a sealed firebox, glass window, and often a blower to circulate heat. Connected to a chimney liner, it greatly improves efficiency and heat output—offering the charm of a fire without the heat loss of an open hearth. How Does a Fireplace Insert Work? A fireplace insert works by improving how heat is generated, retained, and distributed. Here's a breakdown of how each type functions 1. Wood Fireplace Inserts Wood inserts are modern heating systems designed to fit inside existing open fireplaces. You load seasoned firewood into the firebox and close the glass door, creating a sealed burn chamber. Adjustable air vents manage airflow for a longer, cleaner burn and strong heat output through both radiant and convection heating. 2. Gas Fireplace Inserts Gas inserts run on natural gas or propane and feature a sealed combustion system. They draw in outdoor air and expel exhaust through a direct vent system. With options like remote control and thermostats, gas inserts offer easy, low-maintenance operation and steady, controllable heat with just the push of a button. 3. Pellet Fireplace Inserts Pellet inserts use compressed wood pellets, automatically fed into the firebox by a motorized auger. These high-efficiency units can reach up to 85% efficiency and include built-in fans to circulate warm air. A renewable fuel option, pellet inserts are eco-friendly and offer consistent, thermostat-controlled heating. 4. Electric Fireplace Inserts Electric inserts are simple to install and ideal where venting isn’t possible. They plug into standard outlets and simulate lifelike flames using LED or LCD displays. Built-in heaters provide supplemental warmth, making them a great choice for small to medium rooms. Electric inserts combine ambiance with convenience and safety.
