We have had a fireplace insert for many years. It helps, but does not really solve the problem completely. The air that goes up the chimney when you burn a fire has to come from somewhere. It comes from inside your house and therefore pulls cold air in to replace it. Best way to solve the problem with an insert and a fresh air intake that feeds into the fireplace so it has its own air supply.
A wood stove insert is another solution because it requires less air.
