Wood Burning Stoves Near Me

Wood stoves can help you reduce your energy bills. They also support active woodland management, which benefits wildlife.

If they are not properly maintained and installed they could release carbon monoxide that poses health risks to the entire family. To prevent this, look for an EPA-certified wood stove equipped with modern technology to ensure safe operation.

Catalytic Stoves

A catalytic fireplace comes with a special catalyst, which resembles a honeycomb. It converts wood smoke into water and carbon dioxide. This is an excellent option for those looking to reduce indoor air pollution while saving money. The stoves are hotter and produce less creosote. They consume less fuel. They can be more costly to operate than non catalytic models and require regular maintenance of the combustion chamber.

Wood Stoves that have been certified by the EPA

The EPA requires that wood stoves be designed in accordance with certain guidelines that reduce their emissions. In accordance with these guidelines, www.913875.xyz a catalytic stove must not emit more than 7.5 grams per hour. This compares with 4.1 grams of smoke per hour for a non catalytic stove. It's important to remember that lower emission ratings do not necessarily translate into better efficiency in heating.

Sizing and 913875.xyz Selection

It is very important to make sure your wood stove is properly sized for the home in which it will be installed. A stove that is not properly sized will not function as intended and could even overheat. The correct stove size will increase the heat output while decreasing emissions. The brochure buying an EPA-certified Wood Stove (PDF 530K) provides a convenient method of sizing and choosing the best wood stove.

Non-Catalytic and Catalytic stoves

The first wood stove made was a non-catalytic stove. These stoves are also known as traditional wood-burning stoves or open fire stoves. The primary benefit of a non-catalytic stove is that it doesn't require an additional combustion in order to reduce emissions. Smoke is the primary source of wasted energy. The smoke produced by wood stoves that are not catalytic contain a heavy residue called creosote which is a highly toxic substance. The introduction of the catalytic wood stove has eliminated these problems. The catalytic wood stove uses catalysts to burn the smoke containing gases and eliminates the toxic creosote.

The catalytic wood burner was developed to lower the emission of toxic gases. However, it is less effective than the secondary combustion system that is used in the non-catalytic model. The catalyst does not completely burn the byproducts from burning wood and 913875 therefore still produces harmful fumes. The honeycomb structure can also break down with time. This can lead to a decline in performance and a need for Www.913875.Xyz replacement.

Maintaining the Combustion Chamber Clean

A functioning catalytic combustor will have an appearance of light gray powdery. It must be free of ash, soot or other materials that could clog the cells and decrease catalytic surface area. The combustor shouldn't be subjected to flame impingement. This could occur when a strong, rapid draft draws flames directly into a catalytic converter. This can also happen when you leave the firebox and the doors to the ash pan open.

It is essential to inspect the catalytic combustor to determine whether it has physical damage and a need for replacement. If it is damaged or requires replacement, it should be done as soon as possible to ensure optimal performance.
