Description
The Heeta 800 insert is the wider member of the SAfire Heeta family, built to replace a draughty open fireplace with a closed, efficient fire. It slides into a built-in opening, seals the fire behind glass and sends far more heat into the room, while the wide black-screened window keeps the flame front and centre.
Heeta 800 Insert Features
14kW at 80% efficiency
The safire heeta 800 delivers 14kW, and SAfire rates it at 80% efficiency. That means strong heat for a big lounge and less wood burnt to get there.
Clear view, less cleaning
An air wash system keeps the glass clean, and the black screen print around the window frames the fire neatly. A practical ashtray makes emptying the ash quick.
Proper control
Separate primary and secondary air controls let you get the fire going fast, then settle it into a long, slow burn. A carbon steel firebox and heavy fire grate stand up to years of use, with steel and 304 stainless steel in the build.
Made for old hearths
As a wood fireplace insert, the 800 is a neat way to modernise a tired, smoky fireplace without rebuilding the whole wall.
Is the Heeta 800 right for your home?
SAfire rates it to heat up to about 340 cubic metres, which covers a large lounge or open-plan space with a standard ceiling. Send us your room size and photos of the existing fireplace so we can confirm the fit. Our Heeta 600 review also shows how the range performs, and you can compare more units in our fireplaces section.
Installation in Cape Town
Fitting an insert for fireplace openings takes care: the opening, flue liner, cowl and flashing all need to suit Cape wind and winter rain. Our team measures, installs and finishes the surround, and handles compliance. See the full Heeta fireplace range.
Heeta 800 FAQs
What is the difference between the Heeta 600 and the Heeta 800 insert?
The 800 is the wider model with a broader fire view and a higher output of 14kW. It suits bigger openings and larger rooms, while the 600 fits smaller hearths.
Is a heeta fireplace insert worth it over an open fire?
Yes, for most homes. An open fire loses much of its heat up the chimney. A closed insert running at 80% efficiency puts far more warmth into the room and uses less wood.
