Controlled residential ventilation / DIBT stove / pressure monitor

There is a leaflet from the chimney sweep guild. It states that a certified wood stove requires no further measures. Period. The certificate must be issued in Germany by the DIBt; not all manufacturers/sellers are that clear about this.

The 8 Pa come from the fact that the certification only applies at this negative pressure. But the ventilation system is set up, so in my personal opinion, demanding something like that here is completely excessive.

Maybe this is a hint; if necessary, there is also an arbitration board at the guild if you want to have this clarified.

Unfortunately, incorrect information, the pressure monitor is an optional regulation. The chimney sweep does not have to have it, but if he says "I want it," then that's the way it is. Otherwise, there is no acceptance.
We had the same issue on the table for months – yesterday was the final acceptance (RLU and DIBt-certified combustion site, recirculation hood and controlled residential ventilation ===> pressure monitor, which then cost about €1,200).

Same here! The BSM also insisted on USA - and the stove builder suggested it on his own. But it also makes sense, and my life is personally worth the thousand bucks to me - moreover, the module can be wonderfully hidden in our masonry fireplace.

Our building savings contract did not require a pressure switch, so it was definitely not necessary! Since I was convinced that it was necessary, we now have a power cable hanging out from the stove in the baseboard.

I am aware of the safety, and when we have money again, we will upgrade. But a control panel on the wall is not exactly stylish either...

At the moment we are pondering the storage of the firewood and will probably invest the money in some kind of roofing/mounts for the wood – also important!

With our fireplace, the panel virtually disappears invisibly into a recess at about 180 cm height. As is often the case, this is once again a matter of the much-cited and rarely done planning.

I am curious to see how it goes for us, wood-burning stove with approval, supply air through the chimney / air-exhaust chimney system, controlled residential ventilation, and now comes what will probably be rather rare: A central vacuum system (located in the utility room, pipes run through the wall and ceiling, and at the top and bottom there is a suction socket where the 8-meter suction hose is connected) which is actually operated almost daily and sucks air from the house and blows it outside... However, there is always a possibility for supply air because we have a cat flap in the side entrance door in the utility room, which of course is not airtight for 1000 euros, but it probably won't be of any concern anyway because it can be removed and a new filling installed if there are no more cats in the house.

We ourselves actually did not mention the vacuum system (but only realized afterwards that it is also relevant)

Cable was proactively installed during construction in the wall in case a pressure monitor becomes necessary
