Gas fireplace inserts are heating units that retrofit into an existing fireplace (masonry or factory-built) and they are a convenient, efficient heating source. They change an existing non-efficient fireplace into a heat producing zone heater. You get hassle free heat with the realistic setting and ambiance you would expect from a real wood fire. They have blowers to circulate the heat throughout your home. Gas stoves burn either natural gas or propane gas. They can be turned on and the heat controlled with a thermostat or a remote control. A gas stove will even work when the power goes out, so it is a great source of back-up heat.
