What Is a Gas Fireplace Insert?

Gas fireplace inserts can be a misleading name as many commonly mistake them for gas fireplaces when shopping. However, unlike gas fireplaces, inserts are designed to transform an existing wood-burning fireplace into a gas fireplace. How? By accomplishing two things: adding a modern aesthetic and increasing your home’s heating efficiency without skyrocketing your energy bill.

An insert is essentially a metal box that fits inside a fireplace opening designed to contain and direct the heat created by burning natural gas, propane, or other alternative fuels.

If you’re looking to turn your wood fireplace into a beautiful and functional home asset, you should consider a gas fireplace insert for your home.

Why You Should Consider Installing a Gas Fireplace Insert in Your Washington Home

Every homeowner can agree there’s no better ambiance than a slow-burning fire in the PNW cold and wet seasons. But gas fireplace inserts aren’t just decorative home features; they’re also great heaters. The heat output is enough to comfortably warm a modest-sized home without making a dent in the utility bill. For homes with more space, they work just as efficiently for the living area you or your family occupy most. In doing so, you can rely less on your central heating system and reduce your monthly energy bills.

Unfortunately, wood-burning fireplaces aren’t the safest option for home heating. The smoke alone could pose serious health risks to your family, especially babies and young children. A new insert can remove these hazards by providing the same look and feel of a fire without the dangers of smoke inhalation. No smoky rooms, ash, or floating particles–just a clean fire at the touch of a button.

There are several more reasons to get a gas fireplace insert, but something homeowners love is the value it adds to their home. Especially when ready to put the house on the market.

If your gas fireplace insert is not working, there are a few things you can try before calling a professional:

Check to make sure the gas is turned on and the pilot light is lit
Make sure the thermostat or wall switch is turned on and set to your desired temperature
Check if the batteries in the remote control need to be replaced
Make sure the air vents on the fireplace are not blocked

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it’s best to contact a qualified professional to have your gas fireplace insert thoroughly checked out.

I just had WA Energy Services install a heat pump onto my furnace. They quoted far less than some of their competition and the salesman was a lot more efficient with our time than others we talked to. Everyone I interacted with was extremely professional - the lead installer was really great to work with. Everything was clean and perfectly back to rights when they were done. Installation was completed on time, looks fantastic and works very well. Thanks!
