Stove Blower
Monday, July 4th, 2011I was told that 80% of the heat through the pipes in place and the flu. Furnace is worth it?
I have a fireplace insert. I think a stove of some kind, but people tell me that 80% of the heat passes through the pipe and place of the flu. Is it even worth using one, even with a built in fan?
Modern stoves are much more efficient than that. You can also add a heat exchanger to fireplace. With more efficient stoves, you should examine and clean the creosote and chimney pipes, more frequently, as lower temperatures Influenza can lead to creosote rushing to a faster pace.
