What Is a Zero-Clearance Retrofit Fireplace for a Masonry Fireplace?
If your fireplace smokes, leaves the house colder, or has walls that get too hot—it probably wasn’t built right to begin with. Many older masonry fireplaces weren’t designed to meet today’s safety expectations, and over time, hidden issues behind the brick or under the floor can increase the risk of a fire.
The solution is a zero-clearance retrofit fireplace that is designed to fit right into your existing masonry fireplace and bring it up to today’s safety standards—so you can actually use it without worrying about those hidden hazards. It’s also a great way to get more heat and efficiency out of your fireplace! Best of all, they can be installed without tearing out walls or doing a full renovation (in most cases).
What benefits can you expect after renovating your masonry fireplaces?
- Increased energy efficiency
- Better heat distribution
- Fewer emissions
- Engineered and UL-listed
- Great aesthetic appeal

What Fireplace Restoration Options Do We Offer?
We offer both Ahren-Fire and PriorFire Systems fireplace restoration systems.
AhrenFire Masonry Fireplace Restoration System
The Ahren-Fire system is a complete, UL-listed fireplace restoration solution that addresses hidden hazards without the need for a full rebuild. It fits inside your existing fireplace structure and helps resolve problems like overheating walls, improper clearances to combustibles, and improperly built fireboxes—so you can enjoy your fireplace without wondering what’s going on behind the scenes.
Beyond safety, the Ahren-Fire improves the performance of your fireplace. It radiates more heat into the room than a regular masonry fireplace (instead of sending it all up the chimney), helps your wood burn more completely, and continues to release warmth even after the fire dies down. The unique shape of the firebox reduces smoke and creates a more even, comfortable heat. And because it’s cast from strong, insulated materials with a clean, modern look, the result is both effective and attractive. For many homeowners, it’s the easiest way to get a fireplace that actually works—no smoke, no drafts, and no second-guessing.
PriorFire Retrofit System
The PriorFire Retrofit Fireplace is designed to solve old fireplace problems from the inside out. With a lab-tested, UL-listed zero-clearance design, it is designed to be installed into most masonry fireplace openings without needing to rebuild the entire structure. Available in three sizes, it’s often a great solution for homeowners dealing with performance or construction issues in their existing masonry fireplace.
The PriorFire isn’t just about fixing what’s wrong—it’s about creating a better fire that’s fun to watch. Its patented “Air Wing” system and unique back-wall shape help produce tall, dynamic flames that are as beautiful as they are effective. The lightweight firebrick design reflects more heat into your living space (rather than absorbing it into the masonry), which means you get 2–3 times more warmth than a standard open fireplace. It also burns cleaner, with fewer emissions, less creosote, and more complete combustion—giving you a better fire, a warmer home, and a more enjoyable experience every time you light it.
Will a Masonry Fireplace Restoration Improve My Home’s Value?
Yes, restoring a masonry fireplace can increase the value of your home. A well-maintained and restored fireplace adds both aesthetic appeal and functionality, both of which can attract potential buyers and improve the overall marketability of the property. A fireplace is often considered a desirable feature in homes, and restoring it can enhance its charm and make it a focal point in the living space.
In addition to the aesthetic benefits, restoration can also improve safety and energy efficiency, which are important selling points for buyers. All in all, a restored fireplace with modern safety features and efficient heat distribution can contribute to a more comfortable and cost-effective home – making it more appealing once it’s on the market.
Does Restoring My Masonry Fireplace Improve Energy Efficiency?
Yes, in fact, this is one the best ways to restore your fireplace efficiency, while still maintaining the overall look and feel of the setup. Ultimately, a restored masonry fireplace will not only look better but will also be more effective at heating your home, reducing energy waste and potentially lowering heating costs.
