A Smart Electric Insert for Updating an Existing Fireplace The Touchstone Fireplug Insert is an indoor electric fireplace designed for built-in placement in existing hearth openings with smart flame technology. Designed to Refresh a Traditional Fireplace Opening The Fireplug Insert is made for homeowners who want to convert an existing wood or gas log fireplace opening to electric without losing the charm of a traditional hearth. Its freestanding firebox design helps create a cleaner, finished look inside the fireplace cavity. Available in four sizes, this insert gives remodelers and trade professionals more flexibility when updating different fireplace openings. Optional trim kits help cover gaps around the insert for a more seamless built-in appearance. A More Layered Electric Flame Display The Fireplug uses Touchstone Pro enhanced flame quality, the same flame technology referenced for the Infinity Pro and Elite Pro collections. The display includes black crushed glass crystals, driftwood media, ember bed color options, down-lighting, and built-in crackling sound. This combination helps turn an unused or outdated fireplace opening into a more finished focal point. It adds the look and sound of a fireplace without gas, wood, venting, or a chimney connection.
