Timeless Warmth with High-Efficiency Wood Heat

If you love the classic crackle of real wood and the cozy ambiance it brings, a wood stove or wood-burning fireplace might be just what your home needs. At American Chimney, we install Regency wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces that offer all the charm of traditional heating—with modern efficiency and performance.

Wood fireplaces aren't just beautiful—they’re also dependable, off-the-grid heat sources that Portland homeowners rely on during cold, wet winters and even power outages.

Why Choose a Wood Stove or Wood Fireplace for Your Home?

Wood stoves offer more than just warmth—they bring comfort, tradition, and long-term savings. Here's why Portland homeowners choose wood-burning options:
  1. Reliable Heat During Power Outages – No electricity needed!
  2. Sustainable Fuel – Burn local firewood or renewable wood products.
  3. High-Efficiency Designs – Today’s models use less wood and produce more heat
  4. Off-the-Grid Living – Great for rural properties or backup heating.
  5. Classic Fireplace Feel - With the crackle, scent, and ambiance of real fire
With Regency’s EPA-certified wood stoves and inserts, you get powerful heat with fewer emissions and less maintenance.

Types of Wood-Burning Products We Install

Freestanding Wood Stoves

Freestanding wood stoves are a space-saving and highly efficient heating option. They can be installed in nearly any room with proper ventilation and are ideal for:

• Cabins or rural homes

• Supplemental heating in large spaces

• Emergency heat when the power goes out


Many Regency stoves come with ash pans, blowers, and airwash systems to keep the glass clean and your home warm.

Wood Fireplace Inserts

Have an older masonry fireplace that’s more decorative than functional? A wood-burning insert is the perfect solution. These units slide into your existing firebox and turn it into a powerful heating system.

• Up to 10+ hours of burn time

• Sealed combustion system for cleaner air

• Retains the beauty of your original fireplace

Built-In Wood Fireplaces

For new construction or full remodels, a built-in Regency wood fireplace offers the traditional fireplace look with better efficiency and safety than older open-hearth systems.

• Elegant designs with brick or stone finishes

• Compatible with modern venting systems

• Adds long-term value to your home

FAQs About Wood Fireplaces & Stoves in Portland

Are wood stoves allowed in Portland?

Yes—but only EPA-certified wood stoves are permitted. All Regency wood products meet current standards for emissions and efficiency.

Can I still use my existing open masonry fireplace?

You can, but it’s inefficient and often loses more heat than it produces. We recommend upgrading with a high-efficiency insert for better performance and safety.

Do wood stoves require a chimney?

Yes. All wood-burning units need a properly vented chimney system. We can install or upgrade chimneys and liners as part of your project.

How often should I clean my chimney?

If you use your wood stove regularly, it should be inspected and cleaned once a year to prevent creosote buildup and reduce fire risk. Learn More

Do wood stoves qualify for energy rebates or tax credits?

Some high-efficiency models may qualify for federal tax credits. We’ll help you find the best options when you schedule a consultation.
