Questions and Answers

Customer Questions

Can the Breckwell SW1.8 be installed as a zero clearance fireplace?

The Breckwell SW1.8 cannot be installed into a wood-framed cavity. It must be installed into an existing wood burning fireplace. Please give us a call if we can help further. Thanks!

What size wood insert is right for my home?

Choosing the right size wood insert depends on both your heating needs and the dimensions of your existing fireplace. Be sure to measure your fireplace’s width, height, and depth, then compare those to the minimum fireplace dimensions listed on each product page to ensure a proper fit. Generally, small inserts heat up to 1,500 sq. ft., medium inserts cover up to 2,500 sq. ft., and large inserts can heat areas larger than 2,500 sq. ft., though actual performance varies based on factors like firewood type, room layout, ceiling height, and insulation.

Do I need a chimney liner for my wood stove or fireplace insert?

A stainless steel chimney liner kit is always recommended when installing a wood-burning fireplace insert or freestanding stove in a masonry chimney. The liner ensures a consistent and safe flow of exhaust gases, improving the draft and overall efficiency of your appliance while protecting your chimney from heat and corrosion. Using a chimney liner helps maintain safety and enhances stove performance.

Do any wood inserts qualify for a federal tax credit?

Yes, wood-burning inserts that meet government efficiency standards and qualify for the 30% federal tax credit are clearly marked at the top of each product description on HVACDirect.com. You can also view all qualifying models in one place at https://hvacdirect.com/stoves/tax-credit-stoves.html to find the best option for your home.

What is a faceplate or surround for a fireplace insert?

A faceplate, surround, or trim kit is used with fireplace inserts to cover and close the gap between the insert and the fireplace opening. It helps create a clean, finished look while ensuring a proper fit, and should be sized slightly larger than your fireplace’s width and height. Various sizes are available to match common fireplace openings for a seamless installation.

Do I need a blower for my fireplace insert?

A blower is a great addition to a fireplace insert that helps boost heat output and improves efficiency by circulating warm air more effectively throughout your room. While most inserts can operate without a blower, adding one is beneficial if you want faster, more even heating. If extra heat isn’t necessary, your insert will still work well without a blower.
