    I'm looking for a room heating solution for a house but it has to be suitable for a very airtight build.

    The building regs state you most have a permanent ventilation opening for heating producing applicances unless they are room sealed.

    What appliance would qualify as room sealed?

    Would I be looking at a stove that has its own independant air supply from outside and that also has a sealed door?

    Hi SAS

    Im putting in a gas stove with a balanced flue. Iam not putting any vent in the room as it has its own supply from the flue and the unit is sealed anyway.

    Hi IMHO what you need is 1 of 2 things:

    Sealed unit with a balanced flue chimney or
    a Sealed unit that takes in it's air supply at (for instance) low level outside & exhausts through the chimney.

    This is an interesting article:
