4.7.1 Zone Heating and How to Make It Work for You

Your new pellet stove is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is
installed in, as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This
is called zone heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within
homes.
Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular
space within a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat
source.
Although the stove may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate
temperature, this stove must serve as a supplementary heat source. You should have a
conventional oil, gas or electric additional heating system to provide heating in the home. The
manufacturer cannot be responsible for additional heating costs associated with the use of an
alternative heat source in case of stove failure or power outage.
Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors: Proper stove size, stove
location, heating area, house layout, insulation and your climate zone.
