Smart Heating Recommendation
To help this homeowner move heat beyond the main room, our team suggested installing a secondary return vent near the new stove. This allowed the central HVAC fan to pull warm air from the stove and circulate it throughout the house, increasing overall comfort and reducing reliance on other heating systems.
