Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Insert

For an efficient and attractive way to warm your home, go for a direct vent gas fireplace insert. As its name suggests, this is a fireplace which uses gas instead of wood and is vented directly through the wall where it is inserted. This means you do not need a traditional chimney. Nor do you need to deal with the hassle of gathering and storing firewood because these fireplaces don't use it. This cuts down on wood burning pollution and saves you a lot of work. These heating devices are clean burning, affordable and modern.


There are many different kinds of fireplace inserts you can choose from. They are crafted from metal and made to fit right into a wood home foundation. As far as appearance is concerned, these fireplaces give you the same look as a wood burning fireplace does. You can find burner kits that contain glowing embers and ceramic gas burning logs that look like real logs. There are various products that help your gas powered fire look, sound and even smell like burning wood. Another way to add authenticity is with a mantel. A mantel is the shelf right above most fireplaces built into the cabinet.

The cabinet is the area that surrounds the fireplace itself. The fireplace area is enclosed by glass and often housed in a wood cabinet that has a mantle built right in. On your mantel you can place framed photos of family and friends, candles, floral arrangements or collectibles. Of course you can leave your mantel bare but why waste an opportunity to showcase your favorite decor items? For many, the mantel is the place to display items that have sentimental value or meaning. For others it is the perfect place to try out different decor looks.

You can purchase a direct vent gas fireplace insert in specialty stores, home improvement superstores and online. If you do order online make sure you have delivery and installation arranged. Some companies will deliver and install the fireplace for you while others will simply ship or deliver it to your home and leave it for you to take care of. In that case you will want to hire a contractor who can properly install one of these gas burning fireplaces so that it is safe. Also check your local residential building codes regarding these fireplaces before having one installed.
