ᐅ Wood-burning stove or similar, with or without DIBt certification

What? A hole in the facade? Fireplace function?
What kind of amateurs did you have to deal with? The pressure monitor does not have any connection to the outside; it measures the differential pressure between the living room and the fireplace—no drilling or anything like that necessary.

Thank you. In hindsight (so now) I’m also surprised by what they told me. 😡
And I’m even more relieved: The worst has passed me by. Phew. 😕.
Still: If that had been –500 and I was in the area you both mentioned.

Okay: I would still have had to retrieve the cable hidden in the wall and restore the airtightness (comparatively very simple, I could have done that myself).

I control the fireplace function via an app on my phone and keep it running. But the chimney sweep doesn’t care about that, you’re right.

Thanks again for your dedication and the productive discussion.

I think we need a tip thread from the people who dealt with this (for example, you both) on this topic, as it seems to be a growing issue...

Best regards

so.. now I need to bring this up again.. I think I misunderstood our chimney sweep.

Will I get this from Zehnder? I have planned a Zehnder ComfortAir 350.

I don’t know. I had a document like that from the manufacturer of my mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (company PLUGGIT). The building surveyor wanted it and took a copy.

Okay... I just saw this online... first result on Google...

It seems that more options are available from Zehnder... WHY 🙁((( don’t I have a Pluggit??

If you get such a certificate for the ventilation system from Zehnder, please let me know (I have the same system).
I wouldn’t give up so quickly and would ask directly. Higher pressure is only possible if the system is tampered with. But a pressure sensor can also be manipulated...

For anyone who still has a choice: go with the pressure sensor. That way you’re clearly on the safe side compared to the chimney inspector. You can also install it later; the important thing is really just the wiring (concealed).

As far as I know, Pluggit is very good, and Zehnder is even better. They probably have such documents as well.
