Chimney with furnace and wood stove? | |
Is it ok for a wood stove and a chimney to vent into the same chimney, if not why, if not what are the alternatives out there?
Answers:
1I don’t know where you are located, but the code is going to be generally the same throughout the U.S. in regards to this issue. Just for an example, the National Fuel Gas Code from NFPA 54 reads as follows. (Gas utilization equipment shall not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.)
Some people choose to disregard code often times when doing this type of work, generally it will haunt them down the road in regards to insurance claims, or home inspections for refinancing or home sale. It’s better to do it up to snuff the first time.
With this being said, you could ask the question again with more detail regarding the location of the units in your installation as well more information on the units themselves, and you would most likely receive some more detailed options to your situation.
