HRV and Fireplaces/stoves etc.

    Does anyone know what options are there for installing fireplaces/stoves etc. with HRV?

    I'm an architect and the fact that HRV generally means no open fireplaces turns a lot of people off it. I'm wondering what the options other people have come up with.

    I've come across one website with various types of modern looking stove (I won't include their address for the moment in case people accuse me of spamming), which are room sealed - anyone able to provide other examples?

    You could also consider a mechanical flue closer to block the flue when not in use.

    hi laminate
    Have you heard of masonry stoves? I've put one in my new build with a hrv. The air supply is a separate underthe floor from outside so no air is taken from the house. They burn blocks of dried wood. Usually one fire per day. PM me for further details.

    You must specify a WOOD burning stove ONLYto get the carbon credit in the DEAP software - MULTI-FUEL does not get the LZC credit.
