Hi everyone!
I posted some questions while back about installing a pellet stove in our basement that we are currently in the process of remodeling.
Anyway, the location where we originally wanted the Pellet stove is a no-go due to water pipe/meter and also gas meter (right outside the wall) That put our installation process on hold and we almost decided against the stove but the more we think about it the more we want a pellet stove in our basement as the heating source.
So, we started redoing our plans and moved the pellet stove to the other corner of the basement wall. (we only have one wall that we can work with). The other corner of that wall has a sump pump and the central AC unit is right outside of that wall. I did email the contractor to see what he thinks and he did not get back to me yet but what do you think? Do you think that the sump pump and the AC unit could be an obstruction? We put drywall so the sump pump is behind the drywall. My biggest concern is the venting pipes. Could we possibly run the venting pipes so close to the sump pump?
That wall also has a window but that is the only window in the basement and the only natural light we have coming in. The contractor suggested we run the pipes through the window and lose the natural light and that is definitely not an option.
Thanks!
(desperately trying to make it work)
