Why install a Meridian insert into a beautiful fireplace?
The Meridian you install will be no less beautiful than the existing fireplace, and may in fact be more attractive! But the most important reason for installing the Meridian is to replace the inefficiency of a traditional fireplace with a ceramic insert that is vastly better at making full use of the fuel to warm your rooms, rather than the outside! That increased efficiency translates very directly and substantially into a decrease in heating expense.
