Wood Inserts
Keep the real-wood experience you love — but make your old fireplace actually heat your home.
About Wood Inserts
Turn Your Old Firebox Into a Real Heater
Most open masonry fireplaces in Wichita homes are beautiful to look at — and terrible at heating. They send 80–90% of the fire's heat straight up the chimney and actually pull warm air out of your house while they burn. A wood insert fixes all of that.
A wood insert is a sealed, EPA-certified firebox that slides into your existing opening. It captures the heat that used to escape, pushes it into the room through a built-in blower, and burns so efficiently that you'll use roughly a third of the wood you used to. You still get the real-fire experience — cracking logs, natural flames, that unmistakable aroma — but now the heat stays where it belongs.
We carry wood inserts from Lopi, Fireplace Xtrordinair, and Majestic at Home Safe. Each one is sized to fit a range of firebox dimensions, and our team handles the full install including chimney liner, surround, and code compliance. Come see the burning displays in our Wichita showroom to find the right fit.
Why Wood Inserts
Why Choose a Wood Insert?
Massive Efficiency Gain
Go from 10–15% efficiency with an open fireplace to 70–80% with a sealed insert. That's real heat, not wasted smoke.
Extended Burn Times
Load up the firebox before bed and wake up to a warm house. Modern inserts deliver 8–12 hours of heat from a single load.
Stops Cold Drafts
A sealed insert eliminates the cold-air backdraft that plagues open fireplaces — no more chilly living room when the fire's out.
Cleaner Burn
EPA-certified secondary combustion burns off smoke and particulates, so you get a cleaner fire with far less creosote buildup.
