The Pacific Energy Super Insert LE is the middle model in the Traditional wood insert lineup and, for many homes, it is the sweet spot between compact size and serious heating capacity. Pacific Energy positions it for medium-to-large rooms and lists heating capability up to approximately 2,000 sq. ft., depending on insulation, layout, climate and installation conditions.

Its 2.1-cubic-foot firebox accepts logs up to 18 inches, with 16-inch firewood recommended for easier loading and more consistent operation. Unlike the smaller Vista Insert LE, the Super uses north-south loading, allowing logs to sit front-to-back in the firebox. That makes loading easier, especially for overnight burns or customers who use their insert regularly through the winter.

The Super Insert LE uses Pacific Energy’s catalytic-free combustion system with Extended Burn Technology (EBT), along with a high-capacity baffle system, 304 stainless-steel internal components, boost air for easier lighting, a single-lever air control and floating-firebox construction. Two temperature-actuated variable-speed blowers are standard, which is especially important in an insert because they help move heat away from the masonry cavity and out into the room.

Finishing options include metallic black, nickel or brushed-nickel arched doors, along with a 43″ × 29″ standard surround or a 48″ × 33″ oversize surround. A cast-iron warming shelf and ash lip are standard as well. For a homeowner looking to convert an underperforming open fireplace into a dependable everyday heater, the Super Insert LE is the model we would likely start with before moving either down to the Vista or up to the Summit.
