(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 22, 2009 ) Columbus, OH -- With the official start of winter and the end of the holiday season, consumers will begin their New Year quests to save money. As the weather turns bitterly cold in some areas of the country -- or stays that way -- people will face high heating bills. Relying on fireplaces, wood burning stoves, and other home heating options can cut down on electric and gas bills, but what happens when existing fireplaces don't operate efficiently enough to offer real cost savings? Fireplaces Now offers fireplace inserts as an option for those looking to increase the efficiency of existing fireplaces.

"Not everyone needs to install a completely new fireplace or wood burning stove to save money on heating costs," said Director of Sales, Harold Wagner. "Many families already have fireplaces in the home. Those fireplaces just don't help them cut costs effectively. They aren't efficient -- more wood must be burned because too much heat is lost through the chimney or vent. Rather than replacing an existing fireplace with a high efficiency model, consumers can use fireplace inserts instead."

Fireplace inserts simply slide into an existing fireplace, where they help to keep more heat per log burned inside the home. Inserts can boost the efficiency of older fireplaces by up to 90 percent. They also give homeowners an option to change the appearance of their fireplace without replacement.

For those consumers who do want to install a new fireplace or stove, Fireplaces Now offers a wide selection of high efficiency fireplace and stove models, eligible for a federal tax credit of up to $1500. They even offer fireplaces for those with limited living space, such as the Security BIS Tradition CE 36-inch wood burning fireplace, which provides a maximum heat efficiency of 72 percent. This EPA-approved, zero clearance wood burning model is more compact than other fireplaces, meaning it can be installed in smaller spaces without sacrificing safety and performance features such as ceramic glass and an airtight combustion chamber to maximize home heating efficiency.
