A fireplace cassette is the name given to the insert energy hearth that is placed in an existing conventional open fireplace, in order to convert it into an energy one.With the fireplace cassette we can therefore avoid big costs and procedures, as the only alternative to convert a traditional fireplace is to tear it down. Here we save ourselves all that fuss and all that may be needed is to peel a few bricks off the back of the hearth in order for the cassette to be applied properly.

In general, the process is simple, as then the chimney remains to be connected, the blinds to channel the air and finally the fireplace cassette to be placed. Here, of course, you have to choose whether the transfer of heat during the installation of an energy fireplace will be done by natural diffusion or whether a fan (ie the fireplace motor) will be installed, for the rapid diffusion of heat in the desired areas.

In any case, this whole process of installing the cassette and converting the old fireplace into an energy one can be done even within one working day. In fact, if you choose an experienced and specialized workshop, you will not need to do any maintenance, plastering or painting afterwards, and of course you will avoid poor workmanship and failures. Instead you will have a brand new energy fireplace, ready to accompany you through the Winter!

For those who wonder about the advantages of energy over the simple and therefore about the importance of the fireplace cassette, let us emphasize that the benefits are multiple and immediately visible. With a relatively limited cost, the efficiency of the hearth will increase dramatically, as it can even reach 70-80%, up to 5 times higher compared to a conventional fireplace.

Also, by installing the cassette, the fireplace will turn into a closed type, as a result of which you will now avoid the huge losses of hot air resulting from the chimney, which would otherwise reduce the overall efficiency of the fireplace. All this leads to the limitation of the wood you will burn, but at the same time you will have more efficient and uniform heating, achieving an ideal combination! Now not only those who are near the fireplace will be warmed, but the entire space.

The benefits are even greater if we consider that with the fireplace cassette your energy fireplace will now be much more environmentally friendly in many ways. Not only will you save less natural resources (wood) as we just mentioned, but also the way the combustion is done emits significantly less pollutants (CO and fine particles). Not to mention that you are also helping to smooth out the modern smog problem that has started to be felt in recent years.

As for the cost of a fireplace insert, it is affordable as we mentioned above, but the main thing is that whatever money you spend will soon be recouped with more. Of course, depending on the space you want to heat and its existing condition (thermal losses, thermal insulation, frames, etc.) you should choose a different cassette to get the result.

Keep in mind that on the market you will find a wide variety of such cassettes in sizes, aesthetics and power, able to cover every taste and need.
In any case, we can see your space and guide you on what you really need.
