Welcome to our new "Ask Our Experts" series, where our team answers the questions we hear most in the showroom! πββοΈπ₯
This week: "Is a gas insert worth it for my old wood-burning fireplace?"
Our Rockford install team says, "Absolutelyβif efficiency and convenience matter to you. Gas inserts turn a drafty, high-maintenance wood fireplace into a clean, consistent heat source with the flip of a switch. No more hauling wood, cleaning ash, or worrying about creosote buildup. Plus, most inserts qualify for improved energy efficiency compared to an open wood-burning firebox."
Our Rockford location is home to our southern service and install department, so our team sees these upgrades every day β and we're happy to walk you through whether your existing fireplace is a good candidate.
