Explorer II Medium Wood Stove

C.  Negative Pressure

Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air avail-
able for the appliance to operate properly. It can be stron-
gest in lower levels of the house.

Causes include:

•  Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath, etc.)

• Range 

hoods

•  Combustion air requirements for furnaces, water heaters 

and other combustion appliances

• Clothes 

dryers

•  Location of return-air vents to furnace or air conditioning

•  Imbalances of the HVAC air handling system

•  Upper level air leaks such as: 

 - 

Recessed 

lighting

 - 

Attic 

hatch

 - 

Duct 

leaks

To minimize the effects of negative air pressure:

•  Install the outside air kit with the intake facing prevailing 

winds during the heating season

• 

Ensure adequate outdoor air for all combustion appliances 
and exhaust equipment

•  Ensure furnace and air conditioning return vents are not 

located in the immediate vicinity of the appliance

•  Avoid installing the appliance near doors, walkways or 

small isolated spaces

•  Recessed lighting should be a “sealed can” design

•  Attic hatches weather stripped or sealed

• 

Attic mounted duct work and air handler joints and seams 
taped or sealed

•  Basement installations should be avoided 

WARNING

•  Negative pressure can cause spillage of com-

bustion fumes, soot and carbon monoxide.

•  Appliance needs to draft properly for safety.
