It’s that time of year. It’s starting to have chill in the air when the sun goes down and before the sun comes out. If you have a masonry fireplace you know how much time it takes to get the wood fire burning and heat the room to acceptable temperature. Also, you get discouraged with how much heat just goes up the chimney and not into the room.

Now you can turn your old fireplace into an efficient heat source with instant warmth!

Our fireplace inserts are designed to transform virtually any metal or masonry fireplace into an efficient source of heat. Traditional open fireplaces can have efficiency ratings as low as 15% and can let valuable heat disappear up the chimney. Our gas inserts achieve efficiency ratings as high as 86% and our EPA certified  wood inserts as high as 71% with log size up to 24”. Wood inserts emit as little as 1.9 grams of particulates per hour, thus reducing pollutants by over 95%.

Both wood and gas inserts can work when there is a power outage and you can be warm and snuggly while your neighbors are in the dark and cold.

With our gas inserts we provide a wide range of beautiful faces and Architectural double doors to enhance your fireplace experience. These options, combined with reversible brick fireback, give your fireplace a look that is both appealing and modern.

The FireplaceXtrordinair award-winning Ember-Fyre combustion system is so realistic that many people mistake it for a real wood fire. Coupled with a modulating remote control, you can regulate the temperature, fan speed, and flame height from anywhere in the room.

Now is the time to come into our showroom and have one of our trained consultants help you to choose a system that is right for you. We have lots of options and will be sure that your choice is one that is right for your family and your pocketbook.

Until January 1, 2009 the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District (MBUAPCD) has instituted a fabulous rebate program which enables you to dispose of your old, inefficient non-EPA approved wood stove or insert. You can now receive either $800 or $500 depending where you live. The program extends to Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties.

To find our more information, go to www.mbuapcd.org and, on the right hand side of the page, click on Fireplace & Woodstove. All the information and an application are located there.

This is a great savings program, especially in the current economic climate. In addition to this rebate, Energy House is giving a $250 Installation Rebate on Gas Inserts and $200 Installation Rebate on Wood Inserts for a limited time only.
