Create a Foundation

Because the pellet stove burns so hot, there must be a proper foundation for it. This is easy to accomplish if you have purchased an insert pellet stove.

Location of the Pellet Stove

It is very important that during pellet stove installation that the stove is placed at least one inch away from the wall for a free-standing model. You should have considered the location of the pellet stove before making a purchase. This will not only make sure that you have enough room. It will help to make sure that you reduce the fire hazard as much as possible.

Heating the Home

Since the goal of the pellet stove is to heat the home, this is something which must be taken into consideration. Think about the amount of rooms you would like to heat with the unit. This way the pellet stove installation will be able to include the right strength of blower. You will also need to determine whether the air will be pumped directly into the room it is in or into the homes main air system.  Make sure the blower will reduce the amount of draft which will be allowed throughout the pellet stove to generate even more heat. This will also help to reduce mess and circulate cleaner air in the home.
