Stop losing heat

Older fireplaces have efficiency ratings of just 5-10%. This low efficiency is due to the open combustion design that allows the heated room air to be drawn into the fire, wasting energy and cooling the rest of the house.

In contrast, a fireplace insert is an insulated, sealed system that has a high efficiency and translates into more heat output and helps you save money on your heating bill.

A Regency® Gas Insert is a specially engineered, sealed fireplace that slips into your existing masonry or pre-fab fireplace to create a high efficiency heating system with a beautiful fire. The airtight firebox means that you will keep all of the comforting heat generated from your Regency inside your home. Even when your fireplace is turned off, you will not lose heat up the chimney.

All the air used by the fireplace for combustion comes from outside the home and is vented to outside the home maintaining indoor air quality.

You want a direct vent gas insert if you:

•live in an airtight house.

•have a basement application.
