These inserts are especially useful in places where installing a venting system is difficult or expensive. They provide supplemental heating without the need for major renovations.

Top Vent Inserts

Top vent inserts are designed to vent through the existing chimney, making them a practical choice for homeowners who want to keep using their existing fireplace and chimney. These inserts offer a traditional fireplace look while providing the convenience and efficiency of natural gas heating. We also have a range of home fireplace propane inserts.
