A firebox is the area within a fireplace where the fire is built and contained, while a fireplace insert is a self-contained unit that is placed inside an existing fireplace to improve its efficiency. Fireplace inserts are typically more energy-efficient and provide better heat output compared to a traditional firebox.

How do fireplaces conserve energy?
Fireplaces don't necessarily conserve energy. In fact, many fireplaces can actually be wasteful energy appliances if not installed, used, and maintained correctly. For gas fireplace owners, I would certainly suggest adding a fireplace blower or fan kit. A blower kit will pull cool air from the lower louver and force air up and around your firebox. The air is heated as it travels around your firebox or insert and is eventually expelled out of the top louver. Without a blower kit installed, your gas fireplace is nothing more than something pretty to look at. Sure, you get some residual radiant heat, but it's nothing close to what's need to heat an entire room. Adding a simple blower kit to a gas fireplace can save you hundreds of dollars a year in home heating costs.
