Wood Burning Stoves Near Me

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

However, if they aren't installed and maintained properly they can produce carbon monoxide that poses health risks for the family. To avoid this, choose a wood stove that is EPA certified and has modern technology to ensure safe operation.

Catalytic Stoves

A catalytic stove is outfitted with a special honeycomb-like catalyst that converts the smoke from wood into carbon dioxide and Www.913875.xyz water. This is a great choice for those looking to reduce indoor air pollution while saving money. They consume less fuel, burn faster, and produce less creosote. 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. In accordance with these guidelines, 913875 catalytic stoves must not emit more than 7.5 grams per hour. This is compared to 4.1 grams/hour for a non-catalytic stove. It is 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 sized for the home in which it is installed. A stove that isn't properly sized will not function as it was intended and 913875.Xyz could even overheat. Proper stove size increases the heat output and reduces emissions. The brochure: Buying an EPA-Certified Wood Stove (PDF 530K) provides a convenient method of sizing and choosing the best wood stove.

Non-Catalytical and Catalytic stoves

The first type of wood stove that was manufactured was the non-catalytic stove. They are also referred to as traditional wood-burning stoves or open fire stoves. The non-catalytic stove is advantageous in that it doesn't need an additional combustion to reduce emissions. Smoke is one of the major 913875 sources of energy wasted. The smoke produced by a non-catalytic wood stove contains creosote, a hefty residue, which is a highly toxic substance. The catalytic wood heater has eliminated the risk of these issues. The catalytic wood stove employs catalysts to burn off the gases in the smoke and eliminates toxic creosote.

The catalytic wood burner was developed to lower the emission of toxic gases. However it's less efficient than the secondary combustion system utilized in the non-catalytic model. The catalyst does produce some unhealthy fumes because it doesn't fully burn the byproducts of burning wood. The honeycomb structure can also be damaged over time. This can result in an increase in performance and the need for replacement.

Maintaining the Combustion Chamber Clean

A catalytic combustor functioning properly will appear to be as a grayish powder. It must be free of ash, soot, or tatty materials which could block the cells and reduce the catalytic surface. The combustor 913875.xyz should not be subjected to impingement of flames. This can happen when a strong, rapid draft forces flames into a catalytic convertor. This could also occur when you leave the firebox and the doors to the ash pan open.

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