Best Gas Fireplace Insert for 2024

Escape Gas Fireplace Insert from Heat & Glo

Pros:

Escape Gas Fireplace Insert cranks out major heat because of the FireBrick Technology. The thick brick material sprayed into the back of the gas insert radiates major heat without having to use a fan. If you plan to install a gas fireplace insert in your living room, we recommend the Escape from Heat & Glo. It has the most bang for your buck. The heat output and gorgeous flame with the anti-reflective glass make this gas fireplace insert the best in the business.

Cons:

The major con of the Escape gas fireplace insert is the lack of customization options. The logs and brick backing are not changeable. If you do not like to logs, you can’t get new ones and the brick is always going to be a dark red brick color. The Ruby 30 from Majestic or the Supreme 30 from Heat & Glo are the next best options offering quite a few unique customization options if the design of your gas fireplace insert is more important than heat output and beneficial features like anti-reflective glass.

Fan noise is annoying and costs electricity. If you don’t want to listen to another fan in your main living space, the Escape gas fireplace insert from Heat & Glo is the best gas fireplace insert in 2024.

What is the average cost of gas fireplace insert installation?
