Wood Burning Insert Installations & Repairs

Wood Burning insert repair in Hopewell Township NJ

Few things are as beautiful or comforting as the sight and feel of burning a few logs in a fireplace, listening to the wood crackle, feeling the heat on your face, and watching the flames and sparks dance. However, an open fireplace is not actually that effective at providing real heat for your home. In order to turn that comforting wood fire into something that actually heats efficiently, consider installing a wood fireplace insert. There is no reason you cannot enjoy the hominess of a wood fire while also providing plenty of extra heat for your home.

A traditional masonry fireplace is only able to provide a heat efficiency of 5%-10%. By installing a wood fireplace insert, you could increase that efficiency by over 70%. This will allow you to heat a greater square footage of your home, saving you money on your heating bills.

heat your home in an energy efficient way, producing about as much heat as a wood stove would.
