Key Features & Technologies
Direct Vent Technology
A direct vent fireplace has a completely sealed combustion chamber which allows it to vent directly out a side wall or through the ceiling of your home. The benefit of this system is that it brings in air from the outside of the home rather than using the room air.
Electronic Ignition
Newer generations of gas fireplaces use an electronic ignition system to start up and in the event of a power outage, our fireplaces will still work on battery back-up. Electronic ignition saves on fuel by not having the pilot light running when the fireplace is not in use.
Remote Control
Create optimal comfort with ease and convenience at the touch of a button. Our user friendly programmable controls can be set, adjusted and programmed for your fireplace to come on at the temperature you want and when you want it.
Safety Screen
Regency has integrated a custom designed safety screen into each faceplate design that meets or exceeds current North American safety legislation.
Variable Speed Blower (Standard)
A blower will let you enjoy the warmth of your fireplace from any corner of your living space. The blower can dramatically increase the circulation of heat in your home.
Power's Out, Heat's On
Never worry about being cold in a power outage. All Regency gas and wood units operate without electricity. Electronic ignition units have a battery backup system.
