Traditional Hearth Wood Heating

Freestanding wood stoves are perfect for both supplementary or larger home heating applications. They allow for a unit to be placed in a corner or along a flat wall. The venting options will include tapping into a masonry chimney and lining the existing structure, exiting an outside wall and running chimney to the top of the roofline or venting straight up through the roof to the same height, all with rigid stainless steel insulated piping. Freestanding units allow for the least amount of physical footprint within a living space and with new manufacturing technology, can be placed within reasonable ranges to combustible walls (generally 6-10” away).

Zero-clearance units are typical in new-build homes where the unit physically sits on the existing floor and is built with a custom surround of the owner’s choice. This surround can range anywhere from custom cabinetry to stonework. Each unit has variations in it’s clearances to combustible materials, although zero-clearance units are designed to allow the shortest or in some cases, “zero” clearances to construction materials. The venting on this units is enclosed within the surround that is built for installation and venting is all stainless steel rigid pipe either going straight up through the roof or through the outside wall and up to the peak.

Wood inserts are designed for use only within an existing wood-burning masonry opening. The units are sized according to how large or small an opening is, and slides back into the opening to create a much more efficient and EPA certified option to home heating. Much like freestanding and zero-clearance they will come in a variety of available sizes and can heat a small or large area. All inserts are typically vented using a stainless steel flexible liner kit that travels the length of the existing chimney and has a special weather cap placed at the top.

How far must the propane tank be from my house?

The tank can be very flexible as to location, but must be a minimum of 3ft from home openings (windows, doors, etc.) and must maintain at least 10ft from any form of mechanical exhausts, intakes, or heat pump systems. As well, the tank cannot be within 10ft of your fireplace’s direct vent terminal which both exhausts and takes fresh air in to the unit from outside.
