Pompano Beach · Broward CountyAn insert slides a modern sealed firebox into your existing masonry opening — the charm stays, the performance changes.
An insert is the middle path between living with a tired open fireplace and tearing it out: a factory-sealed firebox unit set into the existing masonry opening, connected to its own liner up the original flue. The mantel, the surround, the room — all stay. What changes is everything behind the glass: cleaner burning, controlled airflow, and a firebox that actually behaves.
Around Pompano Beach, inserts earn their keep in mid-century homes whose original open fireboxes have gotten leaky and inefficient with age. Our job is honest sizing — matching the unit to your opening and flue — plus a liner run and finish work tight enough to look factory-original.
Your opening, flue, and hearth measured against real insert options — no forcing a wrong-size unit.
A dedicated liner runs the full flue and mates the insert correctly, not loosely.
The insert is set, leveled, sealed, and trimmed so it reads as built-in.

Yes — a properly installed insert connects to a dedicated liner running the full flue. Venting an insert into a bare old flue is a shortcut we won't take.
Most standard mid-century openings accept a range of units. We measure first and show you what genuinely fits — never the reverse.
Both exist, and the honest answer follows your usage: real-fire ritual favors wood units; push-button evenings favor gas. We'll walk you through both with straight numbers.
The surround and mantel stay; the opening gains a glass-front unit with trim. Most owners feel the room got upgraded, not remodeled.
