Seek info on fireplace inserts [View all]
I have a fireplace that is of a pre-cast type popular with builders in SoCal for single family homes in the 1960's-80's. It is installed on an external wall. This type of fireplace is infamous for cracking internally, especially the breast plate. Ours is no different.
The fireplace is non-operational due to the cracked breast plate. There is no approved repair. I have read some about fireplace inserts that use gas or wood.
Does anyone have experience with these inserts?
