Fireplace Inserts in Kansas City for Gas and Wood Installations

When winter settles over Kansas City, there’s nothing better than relaxing by a warm fire. Traditional fireplaces may look beautiful, but they often waste heat and raise your energy bills. Fireplace inserts offer a smarter way to stay comfortable, adding steady heat and style to your home.

At Chimney Restoration of KC, we install gas and wood fireplace inserts for Kansas City homeowners who want lasting comfort and efficiency. With more than 40 years of local experience, our team combines craftsmanship, safety, and modern design to give you a fireplace that works as good as it looks.

What Are Fireplace Inserts?

A fireplace insert fits directly inside your existing fireplace to turn wasted heat into efficient, steady warmth. Many Kansas City homes have open fireplaces that lose most of their heat up the chimney, but an insert keeps that warmth indoors where it belongs.

We install gas, wood, and electric fireplace inserts designed for comfort, safety, and style. Gas inserts offer quick, easy heat, while wood inserts give you the traditional firelight feel. Our team at Chimney Restoration of KC helps Kansas City homeowners choose the right option and installs each unit to local code for lasting performance and peace of mind.

Benefits of Fireplace Inserts for Kansas City Homes

Adding a fireplace insert is one of the easiest ways to make your Kansas City home warmer, safer, and more efficient during the colder months. Here’s what homeowners love most:

  • Higher Efficiency
    Open fireplaces let heat escape, while inserts keep it inside your living space. Many models reach up to 70–80% efficiency, helping your home stay warm with less energy use.
  • Lower Heating Costs Because inserts produce consistent heat, you rely less on your central furnace. That means lower monthly bills and a more comfortable home all winter long.
  • Clean and Safe Heating
    Modern inserts are designed to burn fuel cleanly, reducing smoke and buildup. Every unit we install meets Kansas City safety codes for proper venting and performance.
  • Modern Style and Comfort
    Choose from gas or wood designs that fit your space. Whether you want a classic look or a sleek modern insert, each upgrade enhances your home’s comfort and value.

Types of Fireplace Inserts We Install in Kansas City

Every home is different, which is why we offer several types of fireplace inserts to match your needs, style, and budget.

Gas Fireplace Inserts

Gas inserts deliver quick, reliable heat with the convenience of a switch or remote control. They’re perfect for busy homeowners who want steady warmth without hauling wood or cleaning ash.

Wood-Burning Fireplace Inserts

For those who love the look, sound, and smell of a real fire, wood-burning inserts provide that timeless feel while burning much more efficiently than an open hearth.
