Air Supply For Stove in Southern Utah

New homes in southern Utah are all being built as air tight as possible and while this is good to help regulate temperature and alleviate allergens from bombarding your home, an air supply is needed for your fireplaces and wood burning stove. Fire needs oxygen to survive. If your fireplace or stove is older that the current models that draw their air supply for the fire from the exterior of your home, then the fire needs to pull the needed oxygen from your home’s living space. It may seem odd to keep a window vented or a door cracked while trying to heat your home with your stove, but the supply of oxygen containing air will aide your fire in burning more efficiently and will help restore the air needed for your family to breathe. If you would rather not use this method of feeding your fire and would like to upgrade your stove to a current model that pulls outside air in, contact HiCaliber today at (435) 674-9338 or visit us online to assist you in installing your new stove.
