Regency: Energy Flush Medium B Vent U31

The simplest way to turn a wood fireplace into a gas one. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: Approx. 750–1,500 sq ft• Efficiency: 58% (steady state)• Viewing Area: 380 sq in• Fuel: Natural gas; propane conversion kit available.• Controls: Wall switch, with an optional handheld remote; wall thermostat optional.• Fan: Included Who It’s For You have a wood-burning fireplace you rarely light because of the mess and the hauling, and you want gas without a complicated project. You need a complete, straightforward insert. If you want a no-fuss gas fire with a classic louvered face and a few sensible choices, the Energy U31 is the one. Keep burning wood and the fireplace stays the thing you mean to use and don’t. What Makes It Special Regency calls the U31 a complete fireplace system: it turns an existing wood fireplace into a clean-burning gas heater with the fan included, a safety screen, and a choice of low-profile or Contour faceplates with black louvers. Its pilot flame stays lit, so the fire runs with no electricity and keeps the room warm in an outage. Rustic brown or old town red brick panels sit behind the logs, and the ember media is included. Possible Downsides • The lowest efficiency of Regency’s gas inserts at 58 percent; more of the heat goes up the chimney than with the sealed Energy E33 or Liberty inserts.• The pilot flame burns year-round, and the remote is optional.• Louvered faceplates only, in two brick colors; there is no flush or reflective-panel look. If you want gas in your wood fireplace with the least fuss and the fewest decisions, the Energy U31 is the right decision. The fireplace you walked past all winter is on every evening with one switch. The U31 offers a low-profile faceplate or Contour faceplate in standard and oversize, black louvers, a mesh safety screen, brick panels in rustic brown or old town red, an ember upgrade package, and included ember media.
