Yes, that's the primary purpose of a gas fireplace insert. They are designed to fit into the firebox of a pre-existing wood-burning fireplace. This typically involves sealing off the old flue and installing a new venting system for the gas insert. It’s a common and effective way to upgrade your home’s heating and ambiance.

Some people miss the crackling sound and woodsy aroma associated with traditional wood-burning fireplaces.
