Regency® i2500M-1 Medium Wood insert w/CAT
The Regency Cascades i2500 is a medium-size wood insert that brings hybrid catalytic combustion to an existing masonry fireplace. The catalytic combustor helps clean up smoke before it leaves the insert.
A blower is optional if you'd like help moving heat into the room. The insert runs on a full-length stainless steel liner, which we size and install as part of the job. If you're ready to get more use from your open fireplace, this is a good insert to look at.

Ownership & Maintenance
Plan on having the catalytic combustor checked periodically, and expect to replace it at some point down the road. If you buy from us, our team can take care of that as part of our support after the sale.
Whether an insert fits depends on the exact shape of your fireplace, so we measure first. Compare more wood inserts or talk with us at our Auburn, Brunswick, and Yarmouth showrooms.
