Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, wood burning zero clearance fireplaces are generally more cost-effective than traditional masonry fireplaces. These factory-built units require less labor and materials, and they’re easier to install, especially in new construction or remodeling projects. Masonry fireplaces, on the other hand, involve custom brick or stone work and a full chimney structure, which significantly increases overall cost.
No, you do not need a masonry chimney for a zero clearance fireplace. These fireplaces are designed to be used with a Class A insulated or air-colled chimney system, which safely vents high-temperature exhaust through the roof. This makes zero clearance fireplaces a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional masonry fireplaces that require heavy, labor-intensive chimney construction.
Yes, most zero clearance wood fireplaces require an outside air kit, especially in modern tightly sealed homes. An outside air kit supplies combustion air directly from outside, improving performance, preventing backdrafts, and helping the fireplace operate safely and efficiently. Always check the manufacturer’s requirements, as many zero clearance models will not function properly without one.
Heat output from a wood burning fireplace varies depending on the type of fireplace you choose. Traditional open-burning fireplaces are ideal for creating ambiance and a cozy atmosphere, but they are not designed for efficient home heating—much of the heat escapes through the chimney. High-efficiency wood fireplaces, such as EPA-certified or zero clearance models, are built to retain and distribute heat more effectively and can heat areas ranging from 1,500 to over 2,500 square feet. If your goal is both warmth and ambiance, a high-efficiency model offers the best of both worlds.
