Overview
Why Homeowners Switch to Wood Inserts
If your open masonry fireplace sends more heat up the chimney than into the room, a wood insert changes that equation completely. These EPA-certified units slide into your existing firebox and connect to a stainless steel liner that runs up the flue. The sealed combustion system captures heat that an open fireplace wastes—most inserts hit efficiency ratings above 70%.
At Alber's, our NFI-certified technicians measure your firebox, inspect your chimney, and recommend the right insert and liner combination. We handle the full installation—liner, insert, surround, and any masonry modifications. We've been converting fireplaces to high-efficiency wood heat since 1976.
A wood insert transforms a drafty, inefficient opening into a serious heat source. Catalytic models burn so cleanly that a single load of hardwood can keep the house warm through the night, and the sealed glass door means no sparks, no smoke, and no cold drafts when the fire dies down.
Our team takes care of every detail—measuring the opening, sizing the liner, fitting the surround, and testing the draw. We make sure the insert fits your firebox, your heating needs, and your aesthetic preferences before the installation day arrives.
Benefits
Why Choose a Wood Insert?
Energy Efficiency
Sealed combustion captures heat your open fireplace wastes—most wood inserts hit 70–80% efficiency ratings.
Use Your Existing Fireplace
The insert slides into your current masonry opening. No new construction, no structural changes, no starting from scratch.
Renewable Fuel
Wood is locally sourced and carbon-neutral when harvested sustainably—a heating fuel you can see, touch, and stack.
Long Burn Times
Load the firebox, close the door, and adjust the air. Many inserts burn 8–10 hours on a single load.
