Regency: Greenfire GFi55

A quiet pellet insert with a wraparound view of the fire.

• Fuel: Wood pellets.
• Fan: Included.

Who It’s For

Wood heat is wonderful until you are splitting and loading it every few hours. You need steady heat that runs on its own. The Regency Greenfire GFi55 is for the homeowner who wants a fire that feeds itself from a hopper and holds the room through the day. Choose a wood insert instead and you trade convenience for the chore of tending it.

What Makes It Special

The GFi55 is the insert version of the Greenfire: quiet, reliable, with a large wraparound glass, a variable-speed blower, and a heavy-duty heat exchanger.

Its hopper height adjusts to fit your fireplace opening, and a large concealed ash drawer keeps cleanup simple. Controls are concealed, with a tri-mode system: manual, high/low, or automatic.

Possible Downsides

• It needs electricity to run. Regency lists about 200 watts while operating.
• It runs on pellets, not cordwood. You buy and store bagged fuel.

If you want steady heat without tending a fire, the Regency Greenfire GFi55 is the right decision. Fill the hopper in the morning and the house is still warm when you get home.

Add a ceramic one-piece log set, a regular or oversize faceplate, and the high efficiency adaptor.
