Do I need an air vent installed with my fire or wood burner?

Why do I need an air-vent installed?

All heating appliances such as open fires, stoves and wood-burners produce heat from the combustion of carbon based fuels. Gas, oil and solid fuels like coal and wood require enough oxygen to complete combustion triangle below. The heat also enables the chimney flue to function properly, removing the combusted product safely from the property via the chimney as smoke.

The Fire Triangle (Combustion Triangle).

Open-fires and wood burning stoves draw their combustion air from within the room and are required by Building Regulations to have a permanently open vent installed to provide air from the outside of the property.

Without this ventilation there is real danger that the fire triangle of combustion will be incomplete, this can lead to a high amount of carbon monoxide being produced and reduce the efficiency of your chimney flues up-draught. This can be a deadly combination that can cause emissions of poisonous gases to the room. Which in the worst case scenario can result in sickness and ultimately death to the occupants.

Carbon monoxide is a poison.

Vent Overview:

Regular maintenance, inspections & CO alarms throughout the property is advised and customers should always install an air vent and take active precautions to support the safe and continued use of the appliance.

What is a chimney smoke pressure test?

What is a chimney smoke pressure test?

The smoke pressure test, also known as a chimney soundness test can identify any fault that causes fumes to escape during the normal operation of the appliance. The test is carried out by a professional following the procedure described in the European Standard BSEN 15287-1. To comply with Building Regulations chimneys should be pressure smoke tested to ensure that the appliance is safe to use when planning to reinstate or open up a fireplace. This is because mortar joints can deteriorate with age.

Does a chimney sweep certificate ensure my chimney is sound? 

A simple visual check by your chimney sweep may be used as guidance of the condition of your flue, but please be aware that this check only refers to what can be seen from the ground with a mirror and torch. It is always advised that a pressure smoke test is undertaken. 

What if my chimney fails the smoke pressure test? 

Every part of a property will require repairs over time and a chimney is no different. It is unrealistic to expect an old chimney to be sound for a lifetime. If your chimney fails the soundness test then the test has been successful in preventing you from being exposed to harmful fumes. Yes, It may be necessary to have the chimney lined or an alternative appliance installed, but at least you are safe.

Thinking of opening up your fireplace?

Stay safe and make sure you talk to an experienced chimney sweep in your area before lighting a fire.
