What Types of Fireplace Inserts Are Available?
At Colorado Comfort Products, we help homeowners choose the right system for their space, fuel type, and lifestyle. Our selection covers every option you could want.
-
Gas Inserts: Clean, efficient, and simple to use. Perfect for busy families who want instant warmth at the touch of a button.
-
Wood-Burning Inserts: For those who love the crackle and smell of real logs, these models deliver longer burns with less creosote buildup.
-
Pellet Inserts: An eco-friendly choice that uses renewable pellets, offering strong heat output with thermostat control.
-
Electric Inserts: Great for basements, condos, or remodels where venting isn’t practical – providing realistic flames and supplemental warmth.
We handle the full process, from measuring and venting assessments to final testing and homeowner walkthroughs. Each installation meets or exceeds Parker’s local building codes and manufacturer specifications.
Why Are Parker Homeowners Replacing Old Fireplaces with Inserts?
Traditional open fireplaces can send more heat up the chimney than they deliver to the living room. Inserts solve that problem by transforming inefficient masonry fireplaces into sealed, high-performance heating systems.
-
Improved Heat Retention: Inserts capture more warmth and circulate it back into your home instead of letting it escape through the flue.
-
Lower Utility Costs: Gas and electric inserts allow zone heating, reducing reliance on central furnaces during cold Parker nights.
-
Cleaner Air Quality: Modern inserts drastically cut down on smoke, ash, and emissions—a plus during Colorado’s winter air-quality advisories.
-
Aesthetic Transformation: From stone-trimmed rustic to sleek linear glass, inserts can completely redefine your living space.
An insert isn’t just an upgrade… it’s a way to finally enjoy the fireplace every day of winter without waste or worry.
How Do Colorado’s Climate and Altitude Affect Fireplace Inserts?
Fireplace performance can vary significantly in Parker’s high-altitude, dry, and windy conditions. Our technicians are trained to address these regional factors so your insert runs safely and efficiently.
-
Altitude Calibration: Gas systems must be adjusted for thinner air at roughly 5,900 feet to maintain a clean, efficient burn.
-
Draft and Venting Challenges: Cold air can sneak through older chimneys. We ensure each insert is properly sealed to eliminate backdrafts.
-
Freeze/Thaw Damage: Masonry chimneys can crack or shift from Colorado’s rapid temperature swings, so we inspect for structural issues before installation.
-
Power Outages: We offer models designed to radiate heat even when the electricity goes out, which is ideal during Parker’s winter storms.
Colorado homes face unique environmental stress, and we take pride in tailoring each system to perform beautifully in these mountain-front conditions.
What Should Homeowners Ask Before Installing a Fireplace Insert?
Upgrading your fireplace isn’t just about style. It’s about safety, performance, and long-term value. Before scheduling an installation, consider these questions:
-
Does my existing chimney need cleaning, relining, or repair first?
-
What rebates or tax credits apply to energy-efficient inserts this year?
-
How often will maintenance be needed in Parker’s dusty, low-humidity climate?
-
Will the insert’s heat output affect electronics or décor above the mantel?
Our experts review every detail during your consultation so you understand exactly what your home needs, and what will work best in your specific setup.
