Convert a Drafty Masonry Fireplace Into an Efficient Heating Asset
Western Washington has tens of thousands of masonry fireplaces that were beautiful in 1985 and now lose more heat than they generate. A modern fireplace insert solves that without tearing down your chimney, re-framing your wall, or starting a major remodel — it slides into the existing firebox, vents up through your existing chimney, and converts an inefficient wood-burning hearth into a sealed, high-efficiency gas, pellet, or EPA-rated wood-burning unit.
Aqua Rec’s has been installing fireplace inserts across the South Sound since 1976, and we carry nine authorized brands so we can match the right unit to the right firebox.
