A fire crackles on the hearth. You cuddle up to it for warmth, begrudging all that heat wafting up the chimney.

Fireplace inserts guide the fire's heat so most of it goes into the room instead of up the chimney. Regular fireplaces have an energy efficiency of 5% to 10%. Inserts can increase that efficiency to 65% or more. You could be over five times as warm from your fire as you are now by adding an insert.

Inserts also burn cleaner than the conventional fireplace, giving you the heat with much less smoke.
