ᐅ Is it practical to have a stove along with a ventilation and exhaust system?

Hello, we are building this summer, and we will have a ventilation and air exchange system installed (almost standard in new builds).

Now, my wife wants to have a stove in the living room (just for coziness).

Does this cause any issues, and what are the experiences?

I am unsure if this is advisable.

(If relevant: The living room has an open gable and is about 40-50 square meters (430-540 square feet) in size.)

For coziness?
Who cleans up the coziness?
As a child, we also had an open fireplace in the living room, very nice and cozy, but a real dirt collector.
That thing probably gets used three times, then no more because it makes the whole house too warm. Quite an expensive pleasure...

Sure, it’s possible, but you have to plan the system completely differently—the fireplace can’t bring in as much air as it consumes. Better ask a professional for details.

Wouldn’t a slightly larger ethanol fireplace do in an emergency? It’s cozy as well; we once had one in a hotel room.

Simply have the system automatically shut off as soon as the stove is on.

There are room-air-independent stoves. The contact person is the chimney sweep.

They are not just recommended; it is actually mandatory to use an appliance that operates independently of the room air. Additionally, it must be certified by the DIbt.

So, in my opinion, our stove and the corresponding chimney are completely pointless. Even just for the sake of coziness...

Two pieces of wood, and you can’t stand it anymore in our KfW70 house built in 2013/2014. The stove only has 3–7 kW.

But since my partner works at the manufacturer of these things, we have one.
