Wood Inserts

Optifire

The Optifire fireplace inserts are as beautiful as they are powerful; heating up to 50,000 BTUs. The Optifires can either be installed into an existing masonry fireplace or (since they are zero clearance) can be incorporated into new construction.

They are available either with a sleek "flat screen" door or a convex style curved door that broadens your viewing area (this is especially nice in a corner installation). Fronts measure 34" wide by 28" high with the frames in rich anthracite gray.

The automatic thermostat can be used for regulating heat output. A variable-speed fan system for increasing circulation is also available as an option. You can also add on up to four venting channels to create a wood-fueled central heating system.

H530

The H530 is simple and stylish. It is easy to install and transforms an inefficient existing fireplace into a warm, inviting, radiant heat source. This results in greater efficiency and control with reduced fuel consumption. Heats up to 30,000 BTUs or an area about 1,300 square feet.

The H530 insert can now be installed into an existing masonry fireplace. It will also be available to be incorporated into new construction (as a zero clearance unit).

The H530 measures 28” wide by 21” high and is 18" deep. Available in matte black or gray steel. You can also customize an optional trim kit to make a frame that fits your needs.
