A wood-fire can also create ash and fumes that dirty your home and aggravate your allergies.Direct-Vent Fireplace Inserts are classified as zone heating appliances. Zone heating is inher- ently more efficient than your existing wood-burning fireplace or your central furnace. Unlikea central furnace, which wastes 20 to 30 percent of the heat energy through ductwork losses and sends much of the remaining heat to unoccupied rooms, zone heating creates and trans- mits the heat directly into the room. This lets you turn down your whole-house thermostat and use your fireplace insert to efficiently warm the room you use most.Our Direct-Vent insert uses readily available 3-inch flexible co-linear vent pipes. One draws air from outside your home, and the other sends flue products directly outdoors. The flexible metal venting allows the insert to install easily in a site-built or manufactured fireplace.Fireplace barrier screens, required for all direct-vent systems, protect you and your family from inadvertently touching the hot glass.Ê
