Consumers are more concerned than ever before about conserving our limited energy supplies. You are seeking the greatest and most effective means of heating your house, whether in your current home or your future dream home, but you still want the romance of a fire without a lot of trouble and mess. This raises some problems about how to get there, even if your home currently has gas or maybe a filthy burning older wood appliance. What are my alternatives, and first and foremost, what is a fireplace insert?
What’s a Fireplace Insert?
A fireplace insert is any device, whether wood, pellet, corner, or gas, that fits inside of an authorized existing appliance. In most circumstances, by inserting an authorized renewable energy appliance into the existing product or cavity, you may convert a filthy burning older wood fireplace or an inefficient gas appliance into a modern high efficient renewable energy appliance.
“I have a gas fireplace in my house; can it be replaced with a wood or corn appliance?” is a leading inquiry. The answer is a resounding YES. There are several alternatives available, and depending on your appliance, installation, and local building standards, you may either insert a new appliance into your current product or remove the old gas fireplace and install your new appliance in the fireplace cavity. It is recommended to hire a professional Hearth merchant to inspect your equipment and provide you with the finest solutions available.
Maintaining Your Hearth
Yes, but I like the décor, brick, and great hearth on my current fireplace. Do I have to give up everything? The answer is most likely no. Depending on the renewable energy appliance you choose, you should be able to reuse most or all of the current materials.
Most fireplace inserts will fit into the existing cavity while still allowing you to preserve the lovely brick front and Hearth. It is sometimes necessary to make minor adjustments to get a better fit or function. Your installer will be able to advise you on the best course of action. In most circumstances, replacing an old fireplace is simple, and American Energy Systems offers a wide range of product types to suit any décor. Make certain to look into the greatest renewable energy solutions for your home.
Ensured Security
“Will my new fireplace be safe?” is a vital question to consider when incorporating a renewable energy biomass product into your existing fireplace setup. The solution lies in careful preparation when picking your new appliance and ensuring that everything complies with local, state, and federal construction requirements. The current fireplace and the new unit’s manufacturers are obligated to designate their goods for certain installation configurations. Make certain that you have permission to install the new appliance as you see fit. Ensure that your product is installed by a professional who checks to ensure that all clearances to combustibles are satisfied.
The true advantages emerge when you can have safe, low-cost heating while still enjoying the romance and warmth of a fireplace setting. No more drafty, inefficient flames, and isn’t it great to watch your fuel guy stomp down the street when he comes by when your gasoline tank is still full? It’s similar to winning the lotto.
