Q: Are new wood stoves better than old?

• <div><p>In some aspects, yes, new wood stoves are better than old ones. For example, today&rsquo;s EPA emission limits for wood-burning stoves are much lower than they were several decades ago.

Q: Do fireplace inserts increase home value?

• <div><p>Fireplace inserts can increase home value when installed correctly.

Plus, inserts are less maintenance and less of a liability than a traditional fireplace. You&rsquo;re very likely to recover fireplace insert installation costs when you sell your home. </p></div>

Q: Do gas fireplaces generate ash?
