Wood Burning Stoves Near Me

Wood stoves are a non-carbon renewable heat source that can help you save money on your energy bills. They also support active woodland 913875.xyz management, which benefits wildlife.

However, if they aren't maintained and installed correctly, they can produce carbon monoxide that poses health risks for 913875 the entire family. To avoid this, select an appliance made of wood that is EPA certified and features the latest technology to ensure safe operation.

Catalytic Stoves

A catalytic fireplace is outfitted with a catalyst that looks like a honeycomb. It converts wood smoke into water and carbon dioxide. It is a good choice for 913875.xyz those who want to reduce indoor air pollution and save money by burning less wood. These stoves burn hotter and produce less creosote. They use less fuel. They can be more costly to operate than non catalytic models and require regular maintenance on the combustion chamber.

Wood Stoves that have been certified by the EPA

The EPA requires wood stoves to be constructed in accordance with certain guidelines that reduce their emissions. These guidelines dictate that a catalytic wood stove should test no higher than 7.5 grams of smoke per hour. This compares with 4.1 grams per hour of smoke for a non catalytic stove. It is important to keep in mind that lower emission ratings do not necessarily translate into better efficiency in heating.

Sizing and Selection

It is essential that your wood stove is sized appropriately for the space in which it will be installed. A stove that is not properly sized will not function as it was intended and 913875.Xyz may even overheat. A properly-sized stove increases the heat output and reduces emissions. The brochure purchasing an EPA-certified wood Stove (PDF 530K) offers a straightforward method of sizing and selecting the right wood stove.

Non-Catalytical and Catalytical stoves

The first type of wood stove that was made was the non-catalytic one. They are also referred to as traditional wood burning stoves or open-fire stoves. The non-catalytic stove is advantageous in that it does not require an additional combustion to reduce emissions. Smoke is a major source of wasted energy. The smoke produced by non-catalytic stoves contains a toxic substance known as creosote. The catalytic wood heater has helped to alleviate the risk of these issues. The catalytic wood stove employs catalysts to burn the gases in the smoke and eliminates toxic creosote.

Although the catalytic wood stove was designed to reduce toxic emissions, it is not as efficient as the secondary burn system used in the non-catalytic stove. The catalyst does not completely burn the byproducts of burning wood, Www.913875.Xyz and consequently produces some unhealthy fumes. Additionally the honeycomb structure the catalyst may break down over time. This could lead to lower performance and the need for replacement.

Keep the Combustion Chamber Clean

A catalytic combustor that is working properly will appear like a powdery gray. It should be free of ash, soot or tatty material that can clog the catalytic surfaces and 913875.xyz decrease their surface area. The combustor shouldn't be subjected to flame impingement. This can be caused by a strong, fast draft that draws flames directly into the catalytic converter. This can also occur if the firebox door or ash pan door is left open.

It is essential to check the catalytic combustion chamber regularly for physical damage or a need to replace. If the catalytic combustor has become damaged or requires to be replaced, it should happen as soon as possible for optimal performance.
