What is a “retrofit” system?

A PriorFire retrofit fireplace is like a regular fireplace in many ways, except for a few key differences. And it’s these differences that make it one of the most popular fireplace styles on the market today.

More heat

You’ll get a lot more heat because of a remarkable feature that draws air into the firebox to produce magnificent levels of warmth and comfort along with breathtaking visuals.

Unique design

The firebox design includes an “air wing” back wall and low-mass firebricks. This further enhances heating performance.

Environmentally friendly

Unlike most masonry fireplaces, the PriorFire meets all EPA mandates by dramatically reducing emissions.

Code-compliant

When properly installed and operated, the appliance complies with Pennsylvania and local code requirements for building and fire safety.

Highly efficient

Greater fuel efficiency means more complete burns and reduced expense. It also means lowered production of flammable creosote, which causes most reported chimney fires in the New Cumberland area each year.

Safety

Heavily insulated, these fireplaces can be safely installed close to home building materials without the worry of fire and heat damage.

Is a PriorFire Retrofit Fireplace the right choice for your home?

It’s important to keep in mind that the PriorFire system is not a fireplace insert. Installing this fireplace involves replacing the current firebox, building a customized smoke chamber and installing a suitable chimney liner. It’s a completely new fireplace that performs like no other.

Consider bringing one of these appliances home if:

• Your masonry fireplace is too drafty and never produces enough heat
• The fireplace you’re using is outdated and in violation of state and local codes
• You want a unit that’s better for the environment than the “standard” fireplace
• You’re building a new home or room addition and want the best fireplace you can get for it
