Gas Fireplace Inserts

Converting your wood-burning fireplace to natural gas is a great idea. All you’ll have to do is flip a switch or touch a remote and you’re warm and cozy. No more hauling wood, getting smoke in your eyes, or cleaning up ashes.

More Advantages of Gas Fireplace Inserts:

• Operating Costs: Your savings depend on the amount of time you use your fireplace. The average cost of a therm (100,000 BTU) of gas in the Twin Cities has been about $ .50. Therefore, the cost to operate a 25,000 BTU fireplace for one hour is only about 12 cents!
• Efficiency: Most gas fireplaces burn with a thermal efficiency of 70 percent or higher. Efficiency will vary depending on venting applications.
• Beauty & Customization: Gas fireplace inserts from Kozy Heat have a giant assortment of glass media and optional accents, giving your fireplace a look that compliments and enhances its surroundings. It's easy to change things up in the future, with new glass media, logs or lighting accents.
• Gas Fireplace Heat Output: : A fireplace with a 21,000 BTU input, at about 70 percent efficiency, can heat up to 1,000 square feet in the average home. The amount of heat a gas fireplace generates is dependent on the type of glass used and the BTU of the fireplace.
• Heat During a Power Outage: Our fireplace inserts have standing pilot lights that don't require electricity. You can use your gas fireplace as an auxiliary heating source during power outages.
• Environmentally Friendly: Natural gas is the “most environmentally clean” fossil fuel and doesn’t require expensive, pollution-causing processing.
