Wood Burning Stoves Near Me

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

However, if not installed and maintained properly they can produce carbon monoxide, which poses health risks to the entire family. To avoid this, choose a wood stove that is EPA certified and uses the latest technology for safe operation.

Catalytic Stoves

A catalytic fireplace is equipped with a special catalyst, that looks like a honeycomb. It converts wood smoke into carbon dioxide. It is a great option for 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 are more expensive 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 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 in contrast to 4.1 grams of smoke per hour for a non catalytic stove. It is important to remember that lower emissions ratings don't mean more efficient heating.

Sizing and Selection

It is crucial to ensure that your wood stove is designed for the space where it will be installed. The wrong size stove will not function as intended and could overheat. Proper stove size increases heat output and reduces emissions. The brochure: Buying an EPA-Certified wood stove (PDF 530K), provides a convenient way to size and select the best wood stove.

Non-Catalytical and Catalytic stoves

The first wood stove that was made was non-catalytic stove. These are also known as traditional wood burning stoves or 913875.xyz open-fire stoves. The non-catalytic stove is advantageous in that it doesn't need a second combustion to reduce emissions. Smoke is one of the major 913875 sources of energy wasted. The smoke from non-catalytic stoves is contaminated with a toxic substance known as creosote. The catalytic wood heater has reduced these problems. The catalytic stove uses catalysts that burn gases in the smoke to eliminate toxic creosote.

While the catalytic wood stove was created to reduce toxic emissions, it is not as efficient as the secondary burn system that is found in the non-catalytic stove. The catalyst does not completely burn the byproducts produced by burning wood and therefore still produces harmful fumes. The honeycomb structure may break down with time. This can lead to a decline in performance and the need for www.913875.xyz (www.913875.xyz) replacement.

Keep the Combustion Chamber Clean

A catalytic combustor that is functioning properly will have a grayish-white appearance. It must be free of soot, ash or other materials that could clog the cells and www.913875.Xyz reduce the surface area of catalytic reactions. The combustor should not be exposed to flame impingement. This can happen when a rapid, strong draft draws flames directly into a catalytic converter. This can also happen if you leave the firebox and the ash pan doors open.

It is essential to check the combustion chamber of the catalytic catalytic for physical damage or a need to replace. If it is damaged or requires replacement, it must be replaced as quickly as possible to ensure the stove's maximum performance.
