readiescards Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 While not for those with near or true passivhauus, I've been very pleased with the little 5kW room sealed log burner I've installed in our large open planned kitchen/dinner/living room. It's only been installed for 3 weeks and now we can start using it regularly we are doing and it works a treat, especially as we can modulate it down nicely. Sealed air feed from the void under the groundfloor suspended beams fed by numerous external air-bricks. Looking forward to the real cold nights so we can let it roar a bit. An Acer Oakdale in Buttermilk - I didn't choose the colour... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jml Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Looks really smart, have always chosen black, but may change my mind for next purchase! Nothing beats a real fire! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofter Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'm pretty pleased with my little 3kw room sealed Burley- bit like a model T Ford though, only available in black! Your underfloor feed probably works better than my through-the-wall, which behaves differently depending on wind direction. It's on a north gable and strong northerlies mean that you need to throttle the air intake down a lot more than normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC45 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hi, How fiddly was the air supply. We are planning on doing the same so any details gratefully received. Ta. Cc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readiescards Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Quite fiddly! Luckily I decided to buy the log burner very early on so we could build the house around it! The Acer Oakdale did not have an option for a bottom air feed so my Hetas engineer got this adapter made up which slips (sealed with rope) a matching metal square tube that goes into the sub floor void. This floor metal tube was chopped into the beam and block floor before the insulation and screed were installed (you can just see it behind the black tube in this photo covered in grey tape ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
