Which type of fireplace should you choose?
The comfort of use, efficiency, amount of emitted pollutants and visual qualities largely depend on the type of fireplace. We can choose models belonging to one of the following types:
• fireplace with an open hearth: a classic solution, however, characterized by low efficiency and high emission of pollutants, a large part of which ends up in the room;
• fireplace cassettes: they are distinguished by an additional sheet metal jacket, inside which air circulates - through the lower opening the cold one enters, and the hot one escapes;
• air inserts with an optional DGP system (hot air distribution): they can transfer energy directly to the interior with a fireplace and to other rooms, using gravity or blowing;
• inserts with a water jacket: in simple terms, they can be called decorative solid fuel boilers. The water in the jacket is heated, which then goes to the radiators, and returns to the fireplace after losing the temperature. Devices of this type can usually cooperate with the main heat source within one installation;
• free-standing stoves (so-called goats): they give more freedom in arranging space - they can be placed in different places, and the variety of designs allows you to find the model best suited to a given interior.

The possibilities of personalizing the appearance of the fireplace as in the CUSTOM system distinguish them from the market offer.
The power of the fireplace. How to choose it?
The optimal power of the fireplace can be estimated with great accuracy using the formula:
D = V x G x Dt [W], where:
D is the heat loss equal to the expected power of the fireplace;
V is the cubic volume of the building expressed in cubic meters;
G is the thermal transmittance coefficient (depending on the quality of thermal insulation, 0.75, 0.90, 1.20 or 2.00)
Dt is the difference between the temperature outside and the temperature expected at home (assuming the most extreme conditions).
Remember that the calculations made in this way are only an estimate. We will do the best by entrusting the selection of a specific model to specialists.
Ecological fireplace. How to choose?
In the era of more and more serious problems with air quality, we should also pay attention to how much pollution the fireplace emits into the atmosphere. Especially that in 2022, EU regulations adopted under the Ecodesign Directive regulating the parameters of heating devices will enter into force. Those that do not meet the requirements will not be approved for use. In most voivodships, such restrictions already exist today. To be able to use the fireplace legally, choose models with the appropriate declaration.
100% of the Hitze offer meets the Ecodesign requirements, so you do not need to check the data to be sure that you have made the right decision.
