A Direct-Vent Fireplace Insert turns your existing wood-burning fireplace into an efficient gas-fired heat source. Direct-Vent Fireplace Inserts are classified as zone heating appliances. Zone heating is inherently more efficient than your existing wood-burning fireplace or your central furnace.
1. What is the difference between the ignition types?
Choose Millivolt ignition with standing pilot to provide heat, even in the absence of electric power, or Intermittent Pilot, which saves even more energy. IP systems can operate with a standing or intermittent pilot during power outages.
2. Why am I required to purchase a barrier screen with the insert at additional cost?
The insert is designed for use with this item. Without this item, your fireplace would not function correctly and would look incomplete. The item is an additional cost to allow you to choose which look you like best.
