Installation of fireplaces and ventilation units within a flat
Solid-fuel fireplaces, such as tiled stoves or wood-burning stoves, generate fumes during the combustion process which may enter the living areas if the chimney draught is of insufficient size and there is negative pressure in the installation room.
Pluggit ventilation units provide here a maximum level of safety at state-of-the-art quality. If the supply air fan happens to fail, due to a technical defect for example, the ventilation unit also automatically switches off the exhaust air fan, and no negative pressure can arise in the room.
However, the responsible district chimney sweep must be consulted whenever solid-fuel fireplaces and ventilation units are to be installed within a flat.
Various companies offer devices which check the negative pressure of the chimney in comparison to the installation room. The ventilation unit is switched off if there is no longer any negative pressure which is high enough to exhaust the flue gases.
