An outside air kit is designed for wood-burning fireplaces and provides additional combustion air from outside your home. By pulling in oxygen-rich air from outside, the kit improves the fireplace's performance, ensuring that the fire burns more efficiently.
You may need an outside air kit if:
- Your home is tightly constructed or well-insulated, which can restrict the amount of indoor air available for combustion.
- You want to prevent your fireplace from using the air inside your home, which can help maintain indoor air quality and prevent drafts.
Overall, an outside air kit is a useful addition for enhancing fireplace efficiency, especially in modern, energy-efficient homes.
