Fireplace Inserts for Increased Efficiency
Did you know that an open burning wood fireplace only has an efficiency of about 5 or 10 percent? On a cold day a fireplace will actually remove more energy from your home than it will contribute to it. Picture a campfire in your living room with an 8 or 10 inch hole in the roof! The majority of the heat is lost straight up the chimney. By upgrading with a wood burning fireplace insert, you can increase the efficiency of that old fireplace by up to 70 percent! The beauty of a traditional wood burning fire is indisputable, but the ineffectiveness is a major problem. Get the best of both worlds with a beautiful and highly efficient wood burning fireplace insert.
Controlled Heating & Ease of Use
At Chimney Specialists, we have a large selection of modern and traditional inserts that will fit with many different fireplace sizes. With the fire contained in the insert, the homeowner has complete control over the heat produced by the system. The ability to change the amount of air given to the fire, the variable speed fans and the tightly sealed ceramic glass doors allows for a more efficient and controlled fire.
While many homeowners appreciate the beauty of their old fireplace, the system is often left unused throughout the winter. But with and easy to use wood burning insert, the wonderful heat will provide a cozy ambiance with the added benefit of an inexpensive heat source. So turn down the wall thermostat and crank up the heat in your home the natural way, with an efficient, crackling wood fire!
