Does anyone have any experience good or bad with this insert or any regency products. going to heat a 2100 s/f ranch style home with pretty open floor plan thanks
 
Regency makes excellent stoves. They are solid heaters. There are several threads here covering their installation and operation. You'll find several happy Hampton owners here too. The Hampton HI300 is a Regency I2400 insert with a castiron surround. Have you visited the reviews section?

Regency I2400 here. Works for us. We keep it running 24/7 when it gets below 50.
 
Sorry, just checked and I was in error. I always get these models confused. The HamptonHI300 is the same as the Regency I2400, 2.3. cu ft firebox. Will correct the original comment for future reference.

Have a Regency I2400 - great stove. I'm heating about 1500 square feet.

For 2100 sq ft, you might want to consider the I3100.
 
We have a Regency I3100 and love it for cold Canadian Winters. Looks like you're in Nashville - not sure how cold it gets there, but the biggest difference between the 2400 and 3100 will be the longer burn time you get with the 3100 for overnight burns. It's nice to be able to wake up in the morning and simply open the air and throw splits on, no fuss. If you're trying to heat the whole 21-- sqft, you might struggle a little with the 2400. If you can, go for the larger 3100 - as everyone keeps saying around here "you can always make a small fire in a big firebox, but not the other way around"
 
We love our i1200 and plan to buy another Regency for our 2nd home. I would advise getting as big an insert as your fireplace can accommodate, especially if you need to heat when the power fails. A larger insert will help overcome the slight disadvantage an insert has (blower requires power) compared to a free-standing stove.
