A fireplace should make a room feel warmer and more inviting. But if you find yourself sitting near the fire while the rest of the room still feels cold, your fireplace may not be heating your home as effectively as you expect. This is particularly common with older, open fireplaces. While they can provide beautiful flames and a cozy atmosphere, much of the heat they produce can escape through the chimney instead of staying in the room. For Colorado homeowners preparing for another winter, a fireplace insert can offer a practical way to improve the performance of an existing fireplace. Gas, wood and pellet inserts are designed to fit into existing fireplace openings while providing a more efficient, controlled approach to supplemental heat.

The deluxe 616 from FireplaceXtrordinair is all about showcasing a big, beautiful fire displayed through an extra-large viewing area. The glass viewing area on this insert is up to 20% larger than most other inserts its size, making it a stunning focal point as well as a heater for homes up to 2,000 square feet. The 616 offers you the best in quality, performance and convenience, as it comes standard with interior Accent Lights, convection fans, and the GreenSmart™ 2 handheld remote which allows you to control every function of this insert from the comfort of your favorite chair. The 616 features the Dancing-Fyre™ burner and offers a variety of different log sets and fireback options to choose from. Photo by Travis Industries.
