Custom Wood burning Fireplaces Integrated with Home Controls

**Testing of Wood Burning Fire and Control System Integration**

Vermont Residence

We were approached by traditional Architecture firm, G.P. Schafer, to design two wood-burning fireplaces that would function safely and draft well with horizontal flue runs and minimal fan noise. We designed the fireplaces and chimney systems with extensive safety devices to avoid spilling smoke from a wood-burning fire while maintaining our client’s desire for traditional appearing fireplaces. With many failsafes and an electronic control panel, the technology supports the simple elegance of a traditional wood burning fireplace and a modern lifestyle at the same time.
