How does the Indoor Thermostat work?
The thermostat is wired and placed inside the house in a location of your choosing. It is attached outside to the furnace induction fan. This is a fan mounted directly in the firebox, that feeds oxygen to the fire at a rate of 90 cfm and controls the amount of air the fire receives. When you turn the thermostat to 70 degrees the fan feeds air to the fire and causes an increase in temperature in the firebox. Once the heat chamber hits 110 degrees the blower begins sending heat to house. When the house reaches 70 the induction fan stops and the heat chamber cools down. Upon reaching 90 degrees the blower stops running. When the house drops below 70 degrees the process starts again. This has been reported to save 30% on wood usage and electricity.
