What Is a Gas Fireplace Insert?

A gas fireplace insert is a sealed heating unit designed to fit inside your existing wood-burning fireplace. It connects directly to your gas line and vents safely outdoors, providing consistent heat with the push of a button. Our inserts are available in both natural gas and propane options, offering clean, efficient warmth without the ash, smoke, or heavy maintenance that comes with wood. Many homeowners in nearby Center Square or Penllyn choose inserts when remodeling or modernizing their homes — combining the charm of a traditional hearth with the simplicity of a gas-powered system.

How Ambler Fireplace Installs a Gas Fireplace

The process begins with an in-home consultation where we evaluate your existing fireplace and determine the best insert for your home’s layout. Our technicians then:

• Inspect the chimney and flue for proper venting.
• Connect the gas supply line safely and to code.
• Fit and seal the insert for maximum efficiency.
• Finish with a surround or trim that complements your interior.

Our installations meet all safety standards and manufacturer requirements, your new gas fireplace will look as good as it performs.
