Gas Insert vs. Wood-Burning Fireplace

If you’re considering a gas insert installation, here’s what homeowners notice first:

	Wood-Burning Fireplace	Gas Insert
Startup	Kindling, matches, patience	Remote or wall switch
Mess	Ash, soot, wood debris	None
Heat	Inconsistent, most heat lost up the chimney	Efficient, adjustable heat output
Draft	Cold air pulled in through the chimney	Sealed combustion — no draft
Maintenance	Regular cleaning, chimney sweeping	Annual inspection
Operation Cost	Cost of firewood	Lower cost per hour of use

Most of our customers tell us they didn’t realize how much their old fireplace was costing them in comfort and energy efficiency until they made the switch.

Gas Inserts Are Engineered for Comfort and Efficiency

Most Fireside gas insert models use sealed combustion systems, drawing outside air for combustion and venting exhaust gases directly outside. This dramatically improves indoor air quality and heating efficiency compared to an open wood-burning fireplace. Gas inserts are available in both natural gas and propane, with options for vented and ventless configurations depending on your home and local code requirements.

Fireside Hearth & Home’s gas inserts include:

Realistic ceramic logs and glowing ember beds
Adjustable flame settings
Variable heat output
Thermostatic controls
Remote control operation
