This <em>is <\/em>the classic setup, but not the only setup. Burning wood in a traditional fireplace creates a wonderful ambience, but this does not mean it\u2019s the only way you can enjoy the benefits of a fireplace, or that it\u2019s the most ideal option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other options include electric fireplace inserts and gas fireplace inserts. In case you\u2019re not familiar, a fireplace insert is basically a fireproof box encases in cast iron or steel. The front of the box is self-cleaning insulated glass. The insert can be put into an existing fireplace setup or even a newly fabricated fireplace structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inserts have become a popular choice over wood burning fireplaces due to the limited heat loss they produce and the cleanliness of these systems. And there are a number different fuel types an insert can use, all of which we offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Natural gas<\/li><li>Wood<\/li><li>Pellets<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cIs It Safe to Use a Fireplace Insert?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a common question among homeowners, and a reasonable one. After all, as with anything that will produce high heat and fire hazard, you want to know it\u2019s going to be safe in your home. And it will be, so long as it is installed by a trained and experience professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cIs a Fireplace Insert Worth the Money?\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another frequent question Northwest Washington residents ask. If you want something that saves time, adds an aesthetic appeal to your home, and helps you save on your heating bills each year, then yes, they are absolutely worth the money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fireplace inserts decrease the maintenance you have to do with fireplaces like cleaning, removing ash, and adding wood to the fire. Plus you can get that satisfying bright glow and crackle of a traditional fireplace from an insert too\u2014and the warmth will let you turn up your thermostat so your heater doesn\u2019t have to use up so much valuable energy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Our Firelight Experts will help you find an <a href=\"\/fireplaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ideal fireplace<\/a> that\u2019s tailored to your needs and style of home. <a href=\"\\contact\\send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact Firelight by Barron<\/a> today!
