Wood Burning Stoves Near Me

Wood stoves can help you save money on your energy bills. They also assist in active woodland management, which is beneficial to wildlife.

However, if not installed and maintained properly they can produce carbon monoxide, which poses health risks for 913875 the family. To avoid this, pick an appliance made of wood that is EPA certified and features the latest technology to ensure safe operation.

Catalytic Stoves

A catalytic stove comes with a special honeycomb-like catalyst that converts the smoke of wood into carbon dioxide and water. It is a great option for anyone looking to reduce their indoor 913875, www.913875.Xyz, pollution and save money by burning less wood. These stoves burn hotter and produce less creosote. They use less fuel. However, they can be more expensive to operate than non-catalytic models. They also require regular maintenance of the combustion chamber.

Wood Stoves that have been certified by the EPA

The EPA requires that wood stoves be constructed according to specific guidelines that reduce their emissions. According to these guidelines catalytic stoves should not emit more than 7.5 grams per hour. This is compared to 4.1 grams/hour for a non-catalytic stove. But, www.913875.xyz (https://www.913875.xyz/9577J92-Mf6m9n-fqef6p-r7lq-pdox99H-1456) it's important to remember that lower emissions ratings do not translate into better heating efficiency.

Sizing and Selection

It is very important to ensure that your wood stove is properly appropriate for the house in which it will be installed. The wrong size stove will not function as intended and could even overheat. A properly-sized stove increases the heat output and reduces emissions. The brochure: Buying a certified wood stove that is EPA-certified (PDF 530K), provides a convenient way to size and select the best wood stove.

Non-Catalytical and Catalytic stoves

The first type of wood stove to be manufactured was the non-catalytic stove. They are also referred to as traditional wood-burning stoves or open fire stoves. The primary advantage of the non-catalytic stove is that it doesn't need an additional combustion to reduce emissions. Smoke is the primary source of energy wasted. The smoke produced by a non-catalytic wood stove contains creosote, a hefty residue which is a highly toxic substance. The introduction of the catalytic wood stove has eliminated the risk of these issues. The catalytic wood stove employs catalysts to burn off the smoke containing gases and eliminates the toxic creosote.

While the catalytic wood stove was designed as a means to reduce the emission of toxic gases however, it isn't as effective as the secondary burn system that is found in the non-catalytic stove. The catalyst does produce some harmful fumes since it doesn't fully burn the wood byproducts that result from burning. In addition, the honeycomb structure of the catalyst can break down over time. This can result in decreased performance and a need for replacement.

Make sure to keep the Combustion Chamber Clean

A properly functioning catalytic combustor will have a grayish-white appearance. It should be free from ash, soot or tatty material that could clog the catalytic surfaces and reduce their surface area. The combustor should not be exposed to flame impingement. This can occur when a rapid, strong draft draws flames directly into a catalytic converter. This could also occur in the event that you leave the firebox and the doors to the ash pan open.

It is important to inspect the combustion chamber of the catalytic catalytic for physical damage or a need to replace. If it is damaged or requires replacement, 913875 it should be replaced as soon as possible to ensure best performance.
