How to Update and Upgrade an Existing Fireplace

The nostalgia felt when burning wood in a fireplace can’t be denied. The familiar crackling sounds, the woodsy aromas, the warmth. But making time to build and babysit a wood fire isn’t as simple. Stacking and storing wood, hauling logs inside, getting and keeping a fire going and cleaning up ash are time-consuming propositions our busy lifestyles can’t always allow. Over time, a masonry-built fireplace can also become dated, drafty and cold as it sits unused, day after day. Does this sound like a familiar scene in your home? We have the answer to upgrade your fireplace, and it doesn’t involve an extensive remodel.

A gas fireplace insert fits directly into your existing fireplace, immediately adding improved functionality, aesthetics and unbeatable efficiency. Operated with the flip of a switch, tap of a remote control or even by your voice with our industry-first app, gas fireplace inserts burn natural gas or liquid propane, meaning there’s no ash to clean up.
