Wood-Burning and Gas Fireplace Inserts

An insert is a self-containing fireplace that fits directly into the opening of your existing firebox. It’s a closed combustion system encased in a metal or cast cast iron box, so up to 75% of the heat it generates is radiated throughout your living space with minimal emissions. With a traditional fireplace, over 80% of the heat goes up the chimney with the smoke and exhaust. In addition, EPA-certified fireplace inserts are among the most energy-efficient and envcast ironmentally friendly heating appliances due to their low emissions. So, you can enjoy a realistic fire-burning experience without the heavy-duty cleaning and maintenance that a traditional fireplace requires.

Electric Fireplace Inserts

An electric fireplace insert is ideal for folks who want a realistic fire ambiance without the maintenance and cleaning that a gas or wood-burning insert requires. Since electric inserts don't need a chimney or vent, they are the perfect heating solution for homes, townhomes, and condos built without a chimney or fireplace. This can be a great option if your chimney flue is no longer usable. Plus, with its impressive flame-only feature, you can enjoy a spectacular fire show on those warmer days that don't require heat. In addition, we can install an electric insert in practically any room in the house. They are so affordable; you may want one for every room in the house. Check out our fantastic selection from America's leading manufacturers, including Napoleon, Dimplex and Heat & Glo.

Free-Standing Heating Stoves

Free-standing heating stoves are making a comeback in a big way and for a good reason: They're affordable, clean, and efficient and are available in many different trendy styles, from traditional to modern, enhancing your interior décor. Heating stoves are best for zone heating, such as heating a personal living space like the living room or second level of your home. This allows you to heat the rooms you occupy rather than wasting energy heating empty rooms in the house. So, they’re an ideal supplemental heating alternative to a central furnace heating system to cut winter energy costs. Bethesda Chimney installs, cleans, and repairs gas and wood-burning heating stoves in communities throughout the Northern VA and Washington DC metropolitan areas.
