Heating bill too high? Learn how installing a heat reclaimer may make your fires more efficient, improve the heat circulation in your home, and save you some bucks in the long run.
As wood burns in your fireplace, some heat is released into your home and some is lost as it rises up the chimney flue along with harmful gases and fumes. Unfortunately some amount of heat loss is inevitable, and it can lead to higher heating bills while throwing off less heat into your home.
A heat reclaimer can be installed into the flue of most air-tight stoves, furnaces, and freestanding fireplaces. Heat reclaimers contain pre-set built-in thermostats, allowing for the ease of automatic thermostatic control. When the air in the flue reaches a specific temperature (usually 150-160 degrees), a built-in fan is activated. The fan forces warm air through heat-exchanger tubes and into your home, effectively reclaiming heat that would have otherwise escaped through the flue. When the flue reaches a pre-set low temperature, the heat reclaimer will automatically turn off.
Voilà! More heat circulated into your home, perfect for those cozy winter nights by the fireplace. Maximize the efficiency of your fireplace, have a lower heating bill, and ultimately save yourself some money by installing a heat reclaimer!
