we are planning to have our wood stove inspected soon. We have installed a chimney with a fresh air supply, and the stove is already at home and can operate independently of the room air. The connection for the flue pipe was prepared at the factory.
The chimney sweep, however, has definitely required a pressure monitor due to the existing controlled ventilation system, which has also been installed.
For independent room air operation, I would now need to create an additional fresh air connection to the chimney, which of course involves costs. Now I am wondering if this effort is even worth it since the pressure monitor is already installed and the controlled ventilation system constantly provides fresh air.
Does anyone have experience with creating the fresh air connection? Is it just a matter of drilling a hole up to just before the clay liner?

For the room air-independent operation, I would now need to create an additional connection on the chimney for fresh air, What does that mean? Either the chimney supports room air-independent operation and is connected accordingly, or it does not. The room air-independent system works within the chimney itself, meaning it draws air from above. So, either your chimney supports this or it doesn’t, based on my understanding.
If your chimney technician is demanding something, then something may be missing.
The pressure monitor is designed to switch off the mechanical ventilation system if there are pressure differences—you would suffocate following your logic.
Who is installing your fireplace?
We had no additional costs beyond the air-independent chimney, the fireplace installation, and the chimney inspection.
Hello
A look at the chimney installation manual will definitely help when connecting the fresh air intake.
The connection to the stove shouldn’t be a problem after that. So just do it!
The pressure switch shuts off the controlled mechanical ventilation if, for example, a clogged fresh air filter prevents the required air volume from being supplied. Otherwise, the controlled mechanical ventilation would carry away the combustion gases.

If you install a dibt-certified wood stove, a pressure monitor is not necessary,...That is not correct. What matters is what the local chimney inspector or official says. "His decision is final."
