What to Know Before Installing a Wood-Burning Stove

Why Homeowners Are Choosing Wood Stoves

Wood stoves offer efficient heating, lower energy bills, and cozy ambiance. But proper planning is key to a successful installation.

Key Considerations Before You Buy

Location: Choose a central spot for best heat distribution. Clearance from walls and combustibles is required.

Ventilation: Your stove will need a dedicated flue or liner that meets code.

Permits: Many Oregon and Washington counties require permits and inspections.

Style & Output: Pick a stove that fits your home’s size and heating needs—too small and it underperforms; too large and it overheats.

Why Professional Installation Matters

A licensed installer ensures your stove:

✔ Meets local building and safety codes

✔ Is vented correctly to prevent carbon monoxide issues

✔ Performs efficiently and safely for years to come
