With rising energy prices, many folks in Rochester and surrounding communities are installing new energy-efficient fireplaces inserts and stoves to beat higher home heating costs. So, whether you have central heating, an inefficient masonry fireplace, or want to upgrade your indoor or outdoor living space, Felgemacher Fireplace & Masonry of Rochester will help you select the best heating appliance for your lifestyle and budget.
Gas & Wood-Burning Fireplaces Are More Energy Efficient
So, what do you do with an outdated masonry fireplace that isn’t sufficiently heating your home? You install a gas or wood-burning fireplace insert, of course. A conventional fireplace loses up to 85% of the heat up the chimney.
A fireplace insert is a manufactured appliance that slides into your existing firebox. Its closed combustion system distributes up to 90% of the wood or gas fuel consumed as heat throughout your living space. Depending on its size, it can efficiently heat up to a 3000-square-foot living space.
That's plenty of heat for most Rochester area homes. Felgemacher is a factory-authorized dealer and installer for top-rated fireplace inserts from America’s leading brands like Enviro, Pacific Energy, and SimpliFire®.
