Description

If your primary need is heat, you must verify the heating capacity of your heater based on the technical data provided by the manufacturer. For instance, if you want to heat an 800 square foot area on one floor, you need to buy a heater with a minimum capacity of 800 sq. ft. If you need to heat more than one floor, keep in mind that heat rises. Therefore, a heater located in your basement will help you heat the main floor as well. However, the contrary is not true; a heater located on the main floor (ground floor) will not heat the basement.

EPA certified wood fireplaces generate a lot of heat. For the most part, they generate too much for the room where they are located. Therefore, you need to manage the excess heat and send it where it is needed. To provide a solution, our research and development laboratory has designed the Heat Management System, an innovative technology that allows the recovery of the heat produced during combustion and redirects it into distribution ducts to heat other areas in your home.

There are many factors that can influence the amount of heat that can be transfered to other rooms with the installation of a forced air kit. The system length, the number of elbows and the insulation of the ducts can have a major impact. The shortest and most direct runs will minimize heat loss. These factors should be considered when planning your installation. Heat transfer will be optimized when your fireplace is hot. Transfering heat too early when the fireplace has not yet reached its optimum operating temperation can quickly cool off the firebox and cause poor combution.
