With winter not far off, it’s time to start contemplating new ways to stay cozy indoors while staying within budget. There are many options, from a traditional fireplace to a gas furnace. For Mukilteo homeowners looking for a more contemporary option, an insertable electric fireplace may be a fitting and cost-effective renovation. Learn how inserts work and why they’re an increasing trend for homes with an existing fireplace.
Fireplace Inserts: the Basics
An insertable electric fireplace insert is a self-contained heating unit that’s inserted into an existing fireplace, hence the name. Various insert models are available along with different heating types, including gas, wood-burning, and electric. Electrical inserts are especially commonplace nowadays due to new and emerging technology, and will be the main scope of this content.
Why Fireplace Inserts are Beneficial
Fireplace inserts hold several advantages over traditional fireplaces. For starters, they are far more economical for homeowners with an existing fireplace. It’s much cheaper to install an insert than to restore a fireplace that has been in a state of non-use for many years.
Apart from being more cost-efficient, inserts also function more efficiently. In a traditional fireplace, the majority of the heat from the fire is lost through the chimney and other openings. This is a non-issue with electrical inserts, where energy is converted into heat that’s contained within the unit.
Finally, an insertable electric fireplace is highly stylish and comes in many designs, from contemporary to traditional. Choose a design that complements the existing fireplace mantel and surrounding backdrop.
Safer Than a Traditional Fireplace
One of the greatest benefits of an insertable electric fireplace is that it eliminates the risk of a fire. According to the Chimney Safety Institute of America, there were over 22,000 fireplace-related fires in the United States between 2012 and 2014. This is often due to a spark from a stray ember or a creosote buildup within the chimney flue.
Maintenance-Free
An electrical insert doesn’t require professional cleaning. Conventional fireplaces, on the other hand, accrue creosote with consistent use. This requires cleaning from a chimney sweeper, usually once per year. As mentioned, too much creosote can increase the risk of a fire as the material is highly flammable. Some of the particulates can also make their way into the room and create indoor air pollution.
