Pacific Energy Vista LE2 Wood Insert
Pacific EnergyVista LE2 Wood Insert Overview
The Pacific Energy Vista LE2 Insert converts an existing masonry or zero-clearance wood fireplace into an efficient, EPA 2020-certified wood heater. Built around the same 1.6 c/f firebox as the Vista LE2 freestanding stove, the insert delivers up to 1,500 square feet of heating capacity from your existing fireplace opening - turning an inefficient masonry fireplace (typically 10-15% efficient) into a 75%+ HHV heating appliance that qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit.
Choose your door finish (Metallic Black, Brushed Nickel, or Nickel) and your surround size - Regular or Oversize - to match your existing fireplace opening.
