Regency I2400 New Install

[mskif]

I had a Regency I2400 insert and 30 Foot SS liner installed two weeks ago. I didn't shop around or do a lot of research prior to purchasing and it is not the prettiest insert but so far I am very happy with it. It seems very well designed. So far it is heating my 1800 Sq. ft. home well without the boiler going on during a week of 20 degree temperatures. We have been burning 24/7 since the three break in fires. Downstairs has been about 72 and the upstairs bedroom about 65 degrees. The unit put outs a great amount of heat in my 380 sq. ft. living room in my uninsulated 80 year old home. Secondary burns have been great and the fans noise is not bad.

The Regency feels very sturdy and the air wash for the glass works very well. A damp cloth works so far except during the lower heat break in burns which produced some soot. it appears that this unit is sized well for my house. I have 4.5 cords for the winter and am really enjoying burning!


Thanks for all the good information here and happy thanksgiving.

Very nice--it's a handsome stove (and very nice fireplace, too). Enjoy staying warm this winter. Nothing like a warm fire in a wood stove.

We just installed a I3100 and we have been very pleased with our Regency so far. Enjoy your new insert and have a great (and warm) Thanksgiving!

Welcome organic. Sounds like you walked into a very nice stove. Was this the dealer recommendation? If so, give them a hearty thanks. With a good stack of dry wood the only thing you'll need to do now is to wipe that silly grin off your face occasionally.

...it is not the prettiest insert...

But it's the prettiest one you've got. Personally, I think it's gorgeous. Enjoy! Thanks for the pic, and you have a great Thanksgiving too! Rick

I do have to thank the dealer for the stove sizing and recommendation. They were helpful and I will definitely send some business their way. When I ordered the stove there was a 3-4 week lead time, but it arrived from Regency in a week. The dealer was recommended by a neighbor.
