For stylish gas fireplace inserts, as well as pellet stove inserts, Western Fireplace Supply has Colorado Fireplace Stores in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Avon Older fireplaces and traditional chimneys have some common traits that can be frustrating for homeowners. Firstly, when the fireplace is lit, heat is inevitably lost up the chimney, effectively burning fuel to heat the outside of the house rather than the interior where the heat is needed. Secondly, when the fireplace is not in use, cold air can enter the home by flowing down the chimney, cooling the room down which then necessitates further heating and added fuel costs. Both of these problems can be solved by installing a fireplace insert, which is a closed system within which the fire can be managed more efficiently. Fireplace inserts can be installed to work with a variety of fuels, including gas, pellets, and wood. The design of the fireplace insert ensures that the fuel that is burned to heat the home is burned more completely than in a traditional fireplace, hence the emphasis on energy efficiency which is one of the first sidenotes when discussing reasons to install a fireplace insert. As the heat can be more effectively channeled to the interior spaces of the home, the expectation is that future heating costs will be reduced when compared to the amount of fuel required to maintain the same temperature prior to the installation of the fireplace insert.

Pellet inserts can generally use your existing chimney, with the installation of a new stainless steel liner into a clean chimney.“ Western Fireplace Supply has three convenient locations across the state of Colorado in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Avon. Their team understands the challenges and choices homeowners face when looking to upgrade to a fireplace insert, and they are able to advise which models and products would be a good fit for a particular client and unique location. Buying a bigger fireplace insert is not always the best choice, particularly when zone heating is being used within a home or office space to manage costs. Zone heating is an approach taken where areas of the property that are not routinely occupied are identified and isolated so they do not need to be heated to the same
