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.)

Steffen, it seems like you’ve built a nice palace. Do you have any pictures of it?
Best regards
No 🙂

We have a controlled residential ventilation system, a Bora cooktop with exhaust, AND a fireplace (I think 7 kW) in the living room (65 m² (700 sq ft)). It’s secured with an LUC2 controller. At around 0°C (32°F) outside temperature, it’s on almost daily. Very, very comfortable... no dirt and everything works perfectly! We really didn’t expect it to be like this. We thought it would only be used on weekends during the coldest part of winter. I rarely even have to remove ashes because so much burns up... At 330–350°C (626–662°F), the glass remains nice and clean (with glass cleaning system)... Have you implemented that additionally using a window contact sensor?

We agree with that too. However, our chimney sweep said that the pressure switch immediately signals as soon as the exhaust hood is on. Although, to be honest, I didn’t really ask what exactly he meant by "signals." The pressure switch just shuts down the ventilation system in case of danger, right?
