Hey everyone, I was initially looking into the large fireplace xtrordinare flush mount wood burning insert. The chimney/wood stove installer in my area deals with buck and regency. After showing me a regency ci2700 it seems comparable to the Travis industries fireplace xtrordinare. The installer is one of the best known in the area over 1k google reviews extremely high rating. I just want to verify a couple things.
My goal was initially to have them drop the liners and leave them in the chimney so that I could install both wood stoves (as I got them) at a later date. I don’t generally like to pay people for things I feel capable of, but I know my limits and getting on my roof is my limit lol. He got the vibe immediately that I preferred to do it myself and that I wanted to save as much money as possible while still doing it right. He said he had a fair amount of liner that was cut from other jobs and that he could splice a piece or two together and that would save me money. Assured me that the work was warrantied and also up to code. After searching here about connecting liners, that seems like an option, but I just wanted to verify/ask
My second question is that he just called me and told me he might have a used unit that he installed 2 years ago in 2022 that the house just sold and the new owners want to switch to gas logs. He said the stove looks great And that the warranty with regency is transferable and is going to give it a thorough check out in the morning and if I was interested I could save a good chunk on that stove. Anything to know about that model/year? Idk how often these stoves change or update is a 2022 ci2700 the same as if I bought a new one?
In general, if you’ve used a 2700 series regency do y’all like them? Any huge issues? I’ve done a search and read through the 2600 getting a restrictor plate added. But just curious yalls thoughts about all this. The owner really seemed like a solid dude that I’d like to work with. He seemed to know his stuff and kept me in mind when it came to saving money. Just wanted to verify these things.
Sorry for the word vomit I hope this is all coherent enough!
