About installing a pellet stove

The Hearth, Patio, and Barbecue Association highly recommends that consumers locate and use a professionally trained retailer and certified installer when installing their new pellet stove in their home.

By relying on a certified professional, the consumer ensures that the proper building permits are in place, and that all the work takes place according to code. A certified pellet stove installer knows all of the unique considerations to pellet stove installation, such as including the necessary three feet of vertical chimney, and making sure that placement is in a safe and efficient location for heating your home.
                                                                                                                                 The maintenance of a pellet stove relatively simple, but requires that some aspects be performed with regularity. The burn pot, hopper, ash traps, and glass need to be kept clean, and the ash drawer must be emptied often. It is also a good idea to have a professional come and inspect your pellet stove yearly. It is a definite must to have your chimney cleaned by a chimney sweep. A professional chimney sweep will be certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America.

Make sure their credentials are in order to ensure that you have quality and safe work performed on you pellet stove.
