For a very long time now, the fireplace is firmly rooted in the minds of people as the ultimate symbol or comfort and over all “hominess”. Even those who have never had the experience of sitting in front of a fireplace can relate to the intrinsically positive image of a warm, safe, and controllable fire merrily crackling in front of you as you relax after a hard day’s work. The problem is that many modern homes do not come equipped with a fireplace, and those that often remain unused or rarely used. After all, the primary function of the fireplace was to provide basic heating. This function has been deemed mostly obsolete with the introduction of centralized heating, and tending to a fireplace is in many cases dirty, expensive, and even dangerous. One of the answers to this problem has been the introduction of gas fireplace inserts.

A fireplace insert is a device mounted into existing fireplace masonry with the main purpose of making the operation of the fireplace safer, easier, and more fuel-efficient. There are many types of fireplace inserts, classified by fuel type.  Gas fireplace inserts are one of the most popular types due to their convenience. Operated with a simple on/off switch, a dial, or even with a remote control, gas fireplace inserts allow a realistic display of flames while also providing enough heat to a room even in the case of temperatures far below zero. The only things that are missing from a gas fireplace are the characteristic smell of burning wood and the cackling of fire, but mostfind this to be a fair trade for a cleaner, safer, and more easily controlled fire.

Another option, suitable houses or rooms not equipped with a chimney is a vent free gas fireplace.

Such fireplaces are often placed in bedrooms and bathrooms. Their main perceived advantage is that none of the heat produced escapes through the chimney or any other venting system. The flipside of this is that the fireplace uses up the oxygen in a room and that any potentially harmful fumes are not immediately expelled. To deal with this, many vent free fireplaces are equipped with Oxygen Depletion sensors, which automatically kill the flame if the oxygen levels in a room fall below a certain level. The additional risk for ventless fireplaces is that they leave no room for error and have to be perfectly assembled, expertly installed, and properly maintained to be completely safe.
