were does that go ,behind the stove

[Paul Smith]

It has to be in the same room. You can get external vents to fit direct to some stoves. This stops the draft problem in the room.

You only actually need an airvent if you live in a modern hermetically sealed house. If you've any concerns buy a carbon monoxide alarm.

 

For a big boiler stove I'd recommend an Aarow Stratford TF70 or TF90, I wouldn't fancy taking a gamble on a no-name stove at that kind of money!

air vent still needed in an older property when the stove is over 5kw

but the calculation is for every KW over 5 kw to work out the air vent size and carbon monoxide alarm is part of the building regs so has to be fitted to be able to sign the stove off

Yes, I know, but the building regs are a 'one size fits all' nonsense. The reality is that you don't need a vent if the property is already well ventilated.

 

What exactly do you mean by 'signing off'?
