About this service
Installing a fireplace insert for wood burning involves placing a steel or cast-iron box inside your current fireplace to maximize heat output. This is a practical choice if you enjoy the ambiance of wood but are tired of the heat loss associated with open masonry fireplaces.

Summer might seem like an odd time to think about fire, but it is actually the smartest window to plan your installation.
