Fireplace mantel inserts are classified based on what fuel is used on the furnace. Fireplace mantel inserts use fuels such as EPA certified wood, natural gas, pellet, coal and wood. Fireplace mantel inserts differ in terms of functionalities, models and designs based on the type of fuel they use, although the standard models of fireplace mantel inserts on the market come with heat circulating blowers and thermostats to regulate temperature.

Fireplace mantel inserts have a fully refractory lined firebox that is designed to keep the required temperature in the interior of the inserts so as to minimize emissions and combustion. The blower circuit in fireplace mantel inserts, on the other hand, works by circulating the cool room air around the firebox, heating it and then returning it to the room. Fireplace mantel inserts with this type of set up are more streamlined and efficient, which means lesser emissions. As you sit by your fireplace, fire burns silently.

Most fireplace mantel inserts typically come with a transparent door that is both fire proof and self-cleaning. The self-cleaning feature ensures that you have a clear view of the furnace as it burns. Fireplace mantel inserts with self-cleaning doors clean themselves via “air washing” with the help of the high temperature in the furnace.
