Frequently Asked Questions

Are wood-burning fireplace inserts worth the investment?

A wood-burning fireplace insert is an excellent investment for homeowners looking to increase heating efficiency and reduce energy costs. Traditional open fireplaces lose up to 80% of their heat through the chimney, while a high-efficiency wood insert can provide longer-lasting warmth with high efficiencies and long burn times.
With lower heating bills, reduced emissions, and enhanced safety, the long-term savings make it a worthwhile upgrade.

Can you put a wood-burning insert in an existing fireplace?

A wood-burning insert is specifically designed to fit inside an existing masonry fireplace, instantly boosting efficiency and heat output. Installation involves sliding the insert into the firebox and connecting it to a stainless-steel chimney liner to ensure proper venting.
This upgrade helps convert an inefficient, drafty fireplace into a powerful heat source without requiring a full renovation.

How much does it cost to put a wood-burning insert in a fireplace?

The cost of installing a wood-burning insert typically ranges dramatically depending on the insert model, installation complexity, local labor rates, local bylaws and venting requirements.

How long do wood-burning inserts burn for?

Burn time refers to the full cycle from the moment you light the fire to when the remaining wood can easily reignite a new log—without needing another match. It's not just about the visible flames but the entire heating cycle.
Regency wood-burning inserts are built for long, efficient burns. With seasoned hardwood, a fully loaded firebox, and proper airflow settings, many of our hybrid models can deliver extended heat output for 20+ hours under optimal conditions.

What is the life expectancy of a wood fireplace insert?

The average lifespan of a wood-burning insert is around 15-20+ years, but key factors impact its longevity:
Material Quality: Cast iron and heavy-gauge steel inserts tend to last longer.
Maintenance: Annual chimney sweeps and regular inspections of gaskets, firebricks, and the air system prevent premature wear.
Usage Habits: Burning dry, seasoned wood instead of wet or resinous wood prevents excessive creosote buildup, which can damage the unit over time.
Keeping up with routine inspections and part replacements ensures the insert performs efficiently for decades.
