With Minnesota and Western Wisconsin weather, you never know how long we can be kept indoors due to cold temperatures. Keeping your family warm is a necessity, but it’s understandable that you don’t look forward to paying the bill each month. You can eliminate the pangs of a high electric bill by installing fireplace inserts into your already existing wood fireplaces. At Energy Savers, we’ve seen homeowners reduce their energy bill by 40% just by changing their heating source.

The cost of fuel fluctuates too much to rely on that as the sole source of heat for your home. Individuals who are heating their home by burning wood in wooden stoves are saving money, but they have to worry about how to vent the stove. With a fireplace insert in your fireplace you already have an easy way of venting the insert through the existing chimney.
