A Smart Way to Add Heat and Ambiance
A fireplace insert is a self-contained heating unit designed to fit inside an existing firebox or work as a stand-alone stove insert. Each model is built from heavy-duty steel with a glass front that showcases the flicker of real flames while circulating warmth throughout your space. Whether you prefer the ease of gas or the timeless feel of a wood-burning stove insert, you’ll enjoy reliable heat and a lower energy bill.
Wood vs. Gas: Which Is Right for You?
As one of the largest Drolet dealers in the Upper Midwest, L&M Fleet Supply offers both wood and gas models that outperform traditional fireplaces. Here are the main differences between the two:
- Wood-burning models offer a traditional experience with impressive efficiency. Modern units like the Drolet Escape 1500-I Wood Insert With Faceplate deliver up to 70% efficiency—producing steady, radiant heat from an affordable, renewable fuel source. Pair it with quality fireplace accessories for easier starts and long burn times.
- Gas units provide clean, convenient heat with over 90% efficiency. With the simple push of a button, you can enjoy instant warmth and adjustable flame control without the need to chop or haul wood.
No matter your choice, both styles keep more heat inside your home and less escaping up the chimney—offering long-term savings and comfort all season.
