The Regency® CI2700/HI500 Wood Insert is a large, catalytic wood-burning fireplace insert engineered for homeowners who want maximum heat output, long burn times, and a clean contemporary look. With its flush, linear design and expansive ceramic glass viewing area, it transforms an existing masonry fireplace into a high-efficiency heating powerhouse — delivering up to 78,000 BTU/hr and burning up to 14 hours on a single load of wood.
The Eco-Boost triple-burn technology sets this insert apart. When your fire reaches optimal temperature, the digital catalytic monitor prompts you to engage the bypass — igniting a secondary burn cycle that extracts more heat from every log, reduces creosote buildup, and cuts emissions to a fraction of a conventional insert. The result: a warmer home, less wood consumed, and a cleaner chimney.
The 110° swing door makes loading easy, the air wash system keeps the glass crystal clear, and the brick-lined firebox radiates heat long after the fire dies down. Heavy-duty cast hinges and a forged steel cam lock ensure a lifetime of reliable, airtight performance.
The CI2700/HI500 is designed for large masonry fireplace openings. Contact us with your firebox dimensions and we'll confirm fit before purchase.
Up to 14 hours at a low-heat catalytic burn setting, making it ideal for overnight heating.
A catalytic combustor re-ignites gases and particles that would otherwise escape up the chimney, extracting more heat from the same amount of wood and dramatically reducing emissions. The digital temperature monitor on this insert takes the guesswork out of catalyst engagement.
Yes — wood inserts must be installed by a certified hearth professional to ensure proper venting, clearances, and warranty coverage. We offer installation services at all our locations.
