 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With cold weather just around the corner, I scheduled Welenco to come perform the annual service of our beautiful Regency gas fireplace insert, purchased 8 years ago.  Todd & Marilyn are always friendly, professional, & accommodating. Now I feel I can safely use my fireplace after Todd patiently explained the remote one more time!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Todd and the whole team at Welenco are great! Todd was able to diagnose our problem quickly and get our fireplace back in working condition. We had him go through the whole propane fireplace because it has been many years since anyone looked at it and low and behold it needed cleaned!! Would highly recommended them for any fireplace repair or fireplace install.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fireplaces

Can I put a gas insert in my existing wood-burning fireplace?tdiesner2026-06-08T14:43:59-07:00

Can I put a gas insert in my existing wood-burning fireplace?

In many cases, yes. A professional will need to confirm your fireplace dimensions, venting setup, gas access, and clearances before recommending the right insert.

How do I know what size gas insert I need?tdiesner2026-06-08T14:46:01-07:00

How do I know what size gas insert I need?

The right size depends on your existing fireplace opening, depth, rear width, front width, and height. Measuring your firebox is the first step, but final sizing should be confirmed by a fireplace professional.

What is the difference between a gas fireplace insert and gas logs?tdiesner2026-06-08T14:50:22-07:00

What is the difference between a gas fireplace insert and gas logs?

A gas insert is a sealed appliance installed inside an existing fireplace and is designed for better heating efficiency. Gas logs are usually placed inside an existing fireplace and are often more decorative than heat-focused.

Are gas fireplace inserts efficient?tdiesner2026-06-08T14:52:07-07:00

Are gas fireplace inserts efficient?

Yes. Gas inserts are generally much more efficient than traditional open wood-burning fireplaces because they are sealed and designed to push usable heat into the room instead of losing much of it up the chimney.

Do gas fireplace inserts need a chimney?tdiesner2026-06-08T14:54:16-07:00

Do gas fireplace inserts need a chimney?

Most gas inserts use the existing chimney structure for venting, but they typically require a proper vent liner or approved venting system. A professional inspection is needed to determine what your home requires.

Do I need a gas line for a gas insert?tdiesner2026-06-08T14:56:47-07:00

Do I need a gas line for a gas insert?

Yes. A gas fireplace insert needs access to natural gas or propane. If your fireplace does not already have a gas line, one may need to be installed by a qualified professional.

Can a gas insert heat my room?tdiesner2026-06-08T14:59:29-07:00

Can a gas insert heat my room?

Yes. Gas inserts are commonly used to provide supplemental heat for living rooms, family rooms, and other main areas. The amount of heat depends on the model, room size, insulation, and home layout.

How long does installation take?tdiesner2026-06-08T15:01:40-07:00

How long does installation take?

Installation time depends on the fireplace condition, venting requirements, gas line access, and finish work. Many straightforward installations can be completed relatively quickly, but more complex projects may take longer.

Are gas fireplace inserts easy to use?tdiesner2026-06-08T15:05:48-07:00

Are gas fireplace inserts easy to use?

Yes. Regency gas inserts offer simple controls, remote operation, thermostat options, and push-button ignition, depending on the model.

Do gas fireplace inserts work during a power outage?tdiesner2026-06-08T15:07:44-07:00

Do gas fireplace inserts work during a power outage?

Yes Regency fireplace models can operate during a power outage, as they have a battery backup or standing pilot systems. However, blowers, lights, or certain controls require electricity, depending on the unit.

Do I need professional installation?tdiesner2026-06-08T15:09:42-07:00

Do I need professional installation?

Yes. Gas fireplace inserts should be installed by qualified professionals because they involve gas connections, venting, clearances, and safety requirements.

How do I get started?tdiesner2026-06-08T15:11:43-07:00

How do I get started?

Start by measuring your existing fireplace opening or scheduling a consultation. A fireplace specialist can help confirm which inserts fit, review design options, and provide an installed quote.
