From the historic Craftsman bungalows in the charming Charles Burchfield Gardenville District to the modern patio homes in Queens Landing, West Seneca is a town that preserves its history while welcoming newer neighborhoods. Whether you want to upgrade an inefficient masonry or builder’s grade fireplace with an insert or take advantage of the energy-saving benefits of zone heating with a freestanding stove, you will love Felgemacher’s large selection of premium fireplace inserts and stoves.
Turn Your Old Fireplace into a Modern Energy-Efficient Heater With an Insert
While traditional open-masonry fireplaces are appealing, they are notoriously inefficient heaters. In fact, up to 90% of the heat it generates goes straight out the chimney, burning a hole in your wallet. Ouch!
A fireplace insert is an easy and affordable way to convert an inefficient open hearth into a powerful heating system. The secret is its closed-combustion system, enclosed in a steel or iron box that slides directly into your existing fireplace opening. This innovative design safely retains most of the heat it generates in the enclosed firebox. An optional integrated fan radiates warm air throughout your living space while consuming one-third less fuel than a traditional open fireplace with significantly less emissions. A large glass viewing area gives you a front-row seat to the spectacular fire action without the risk of embers flying out, making it a safer option for families with pets and children.
Woodburning Fireplace Inserts for West Seneca Homes
For homeowners who prefer the authentic aroma, crackle, and snap of real hardwood, a modern insert is the ultimate upgrade. Engineered with advanced re-burn technology, modern wood inserts burn incredibly clean, meet strict EPA efficiency guidelines, and can turn a couple of logs into a steady, efficient source of heat that burns all night long. Plus, it uses one-third of the fuel to produce the same amount of heat as an open fireplace.
Freestanding Wood & Gas Stoves for Zone Heating
Freestanding stoves are a popular addition in many homes in western New York. These standalone appliances let you use zone heating, so you can turn down your central furnace and heat only the occupied living areas, significantly cutting your monthly utility bills.
Wood Stoves
Modern wood stoves have come a long way from the old, smoky cast-iron potbelly models of the past and are a popular way to heat individual rooms and open spaces while reducing utility bills. Today's EPA-certified wood stoves feature advanced catalytic and non-catalytic combustion systems that maximize heat output while reducing firewood consumption and minimizing creosote buildup. They are available in a variety of sizes, styles, and BTUs.
Gas Stoves
A freestanding gas stove offers energy savings and the convenience of instant, clean-burning heat at the push of a button or the flip of a switch. Burning either natural gas or propane, these attractive units feature authentic flames, realistic gas logs, glowing ember beds, and an adjustable thermostat to set your ideal room temperature.
Benefits of Fireplace Inserts & Stoves
With a fireplace insert or a freestanding stove, West Seneca homeowners are getting more heat with lower energy bills:
- Increase Heating Efficiency: Jump from a low 10% efficiency rating with an open fireplace to over 75% to 80% efficiency with a modern hearth appliance.
- Lower Heating Bills: Zone heating lets you stop paying to heat empty bedrooms and unused spaces throughout your house during freezing winters.
- Eco-Friendly Engineering: Clean-burning technologies drastically reduce outdoor particle emissions, helping protect our local environment.
- Reliable Backup Heat: When heavy winter blizzards knock out the local power grid, wood stoves and many gas appliances will keep your family completely warm without electricity.
