Keep Warm this Winter with Fireplace Inserts

Whether you’re looking forward to spending time with family this winter or worried about the roads, there’s one thing that’s for sure: it’s going to get cold.

Here in Portage, us Michiganders are no strangers to the sheer cold and blizzard conditions that come with the lake effect. That said, we all have our own ways of staying warm through the coldest nights. Some of us crank the heater, some bundle up with blankets, and some simply wear more layers around the house. But there’s one beloved way humans have been heating their homes for millennia: with a fireplace.

That said, many Michigan homeowners are looking to upgrade their fireplace or make them more efficient in a cost-effective way. That’s why Michiganders everywhere opt for fireplace inserts.

Today, we’re discussing how fireplace inserts work and their many benefits on cold winter nights.

Using Fireplace Inserts in Your Home

If you have an existing fireplace in your home that just isn’t getting the job done or simply looks outdated, then a fireplace insert may be perfect for you.

Fireplace inserts are simple solutions for outdated or unused fireplaces because you don’t need to alter the fireplace in any way. Instead, you simply slot the insert straight into the existing fireplace. From there, the insert will use its internal mechanisms to maximize the heat generated by the fireplace and efficiently direct that heat into the room.

By sealing the existing fireplace, fireplace inserts create a closed combustion system that prevents cold air from getting in through the chimney and warm air from escaping through the same route.

The Benefits of Fireplace Inserts

Fireplace inserts bring a wealth of advantages to any home. Thanks to their multifaceted design and wide range of options, you’d be surprised just how customizable fireplace inserts can be. Additionally, most fireplace inserts have built-in fan systems that actually blow heat into your home, efficiently spreading the warmth around. Additionally, some fireplace inserts actually allow you to adjust the fans by intensity and direction, giving them highly customizable heating for any space.
