Who It's For
Most wood inserts wear an arched door and a traditional surround, which can look out of place in a modern room. You need a wood insert that heats like a stove but looks like it belongs in a contemporary space. If you have a smaller fireplace, want clean lines, and need heat for up to 1,500 square feet, the Neo 1.6 Insert fits that brief. The alternative is a traditional insert that heats just as well and never quite matches the room.
What Makes It Special
The Neo 1.6 mounts flush with the fireplace face, framed by a simple trim plate in Metallic Black or Stainless Steel. There is no arch and no ornament, just a wide window on the fire.
Behind that face is a built-in heat exchanger and two temperature-activated, variable-speed blowers, so the heat moves out into the room instead of staying in the firebox. Logs load side to side, and a full load burns for approx. 7–10 hours.
Possible Downsides
- Contemporary trim only. For an arched, traditional door, look at the Vista insert.
- Takes logs up to 17 inches. For 18-inch logs in the same modern look, see the Neo 2.5 insert.
If you want wood heat from a smaller fireplace without a traditional look, the Neo 1.6 Insert is the right decision. The fireplace finally looks like part of the room—and it is the warmest spot in the house.
The Neo 1.6 Insert is finished with a front trim plate in Metallic Black or Stainless Steel and a regular or oversized Metallic Black backing plate.

Can you get an instant online estimate for the Pacific Energy Neo 1.6?
Yes—right on this page. Configure the Pacific Energy Neo 1.6 and get a free, no-obligation instant estimate covering the unit as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor. No phone call required.
What's included in the online estimate?
The unit with the options you selected, a real vent kit matched to your venting, and the installation labor for a typical setup. Your free one-to-two-hour in-home visit confirms every detail before anything is ordered.
Who pulls the permit?
We do, on every job, in every jurisdiction we serve—and we meet the inspector. It's built into the process, not an upsell.
Can you see the Pacific Energy Neo 1.6 in a photo of your own room?
Yes. The Visualizer tab on this page renders the Pacific Energy Neo 1.6 into a straight-on photo of your wall, scaled to the room, so you see it in your space before you price a thing. Phone photos are fine. It's a faithful preview, not an architectural drawing; sizing, venting, and trim get confirmed at the free in-home visit.
Is the online estimate real, or a rough guess?
Real, and honest about what it is: a price for the Pacific Energy Neo 1.6 as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor, built from real Seattle installs. It is not binding. The free one-to-two-hour in-home visit checks your actual house before the price is final, and nothing is ordered until then.
Do you install and service the Pacific Energy Neo 1.6 yourselves?
Yes, both. Our own in-house installers set the Pacific Energy Neo 1.6, run the venting and the gas, pull the permit, and light the first fire before leaving. Afterward the service desk looks after every unit that came from Sutter, with factory-trained technicians and a real date when you call.
