The classic mantle-and-hearth fireplace is giving way to contemporary designs that emphasize clean, simple lines, with natural gas fireplaces the top option.

Fireplaces are also getting bigger. And, there are more options when it comes to finishes, spanning from classic brick and rock to ultra-sleek tile, glass and metallic finishes.

Homeowners are moving away from the traditional open hearth in favor of clean-face fireplace inserts and wider dimensions.

Today’s fireplace inserts are a whole lot more versatile, with a range of styles, surrounds and finishes to complement any décor. Looks can easily be changed and updated as well by simply adding decorative rocks or glass crystals, or installing a new fireplace insert. It’s an easy and affordable way to revamp or customize an indoor living space.

Fireplace inserts add value to a home, and can significantly reduce heating costs. While some inserts heat only one room, others offer heat distribution systems that can circulate warm air to other parts of the home. They are more efficient because you can just heat the room you are in. A big advantage is you can transfer the heat to other rooms.

Gas fireplace inserts are the number one choice as they are convenient, easily maintained and cost-efficient. Anyone can walk in the room and flip a switch to turn it on and it costs really nothing to run. You can heat the room, and keep the furnace turned down. It would probably be between $20 and $25 for 100 hours of use – and that is a lot of use.

Gas fireplace inserts have dramatically increased in efficiency, and now come out in ultra-modern designs.

Fireplaces offer a range of benefits to a home, creating ambiance, warmth and comfort while adding value and cutting heating costs. Inserts not only serve as a focal point of a room, but as a gathering point as well. People love to sit around a fire – they have for years.

And right now, you can save up to $500 on gas liner systems when you purchase a Perterson gas fireplace insert.

Whether entertaining friends or cozying up with a favorite book, there's nothing like a warm glowing fire to add ambience and warmth to the home. But hauling and storing firewood and cleaning up messy ashes can make building a wood-burning fire a hassle. This season easily transform a wood-burning fireplace and experience the beauty and benefits of gas logs while saving money, time and the environment.

Beautiful

Today's gas logs produce a stunning, realistic flame that can rival any wood-burning log. A wide range of wood types is available, from birch to oak, as well as colored glass and gems and accessories to add personal style to any hearth.

Economical

Gas logs are generally inexpensive to buy and install and cost about a quarter per hour of what it costs to burn wood. Some gas logs are more than 99 percent efficient.

Convenient

Gas logs allow for instant enjoyment. With a touch of a button, the fireplace turns on and off. There's no need to purchase, store and season wood and clean up and dispose of messy ashes.

Safe

Gas logs prevent flying sparks, common with wood, that might burn a rug or cause other damage. They don't create indoor particulate matter that is harmful to asthmatics and those with respiratory issues.

Environmentally Friendly

Burning gas logs helps preserve natural resources for generations to come by eliminating harmful particulate matter in the air.

Which Gas Logs

Real Fyre Gas Logs offers more than 40 authentic styles, each handcrafted and hand-painted to deliver a realistic look with dancing flames and a glowing bed of lively embers.

It may be mid-August, but Fall is around the corner. Cooler weather makes us want to light a fire and get cozy and warm. But, if you only have an older open fireplace, then lighting a fire doesn't give you the warmth you want or need. And, your home could be leaking heat.

An open, masonry fireplace with a blazing fire is attractive. But in Massachusetts, we need more than just beauty from a fire. An open fireplace is inefficient. But, by adding a wood-burning fireplace insert or changing it to gas and installing a gas fireplace insert, your existing open fireplace can heat a room or even a couple rooms. Inserts for fireplaces can often heat spaces more efficiently than your furnace, and they're certainly more attractive. Because fireplace inserts are sealed they also prevent drafts from coming down the chimney and entering the home.

An open fireplace is like leaving your door open. Drafts can come in, and heat can go out. They are open all the way to the roof. This is why many homeowners in Massachusetts are moving to wood-burning and gas fireplace inserts.

Most gas inserts are more efficient than a home heating system. Most home heat is 70 to 80 percent efficient, gas inserts are almost 86 percent.

The Fireplace Shop and Grill Center at West Sport in Sudbury can help you determine whether a gas or wood burning fireplace insert is best for your home and your lifestyle. There are advantages to both.
