1. Is the purpose of the Solo Stove heating, or should it fit the interior?

2. How big a Solo Stove should I have?
To get a positive experience of your Solo Stove, it is very important that the size is adapted to the living space and heating needs . If the Solo Stove is too large, you will often fire on too low an effect and risk soot on glass and in the chimney. With a Solo Stove that is too small, there is a risk of overload and shortened service life.
Fortunately, this is not something you should think about, our dealers are ready to help you.
3. Where should I place the new stove?
The location of the Solo Stove can determine how much heat you get out . For example, if you choose to place a wood stove in the kitchen for your "felling", this does not necessarily provide the best heat dissipation, as if it is more centrally located in the house. Of course, your floor plan also affects how much heat you get out ..
A good tip , before you go to the dealer, is to draw a sketch of the room with any chimney, firewall and placement of furniture. In addition, it is good to bring pictures of what it looks like today. Then you are well prepared when you come to the dealer and they can help you in the best possible way.
4. Remember that the chimney must also be checked!
Did you know that most Solo Stove problems are caused by a faulty size or malfunctioning chimney? In order for a stove to function optimally, it should be connected to a chimney with an inner diameter larger than the smoke outlet in the stove. If you have a chimney that is old or worn, you may need to renovate it to ensure good function. If you are unsure whether you have a chimney with the right dimension or good condition, our dealers can help you investigate this.
And if you do not have the chimney today and want a new Solo Stove, today there is a steel chimney that can be placed directly on the stove. The steel chimney is suitable for all Solo Stoves, all types of fuel, saunas, cottages and houses. It fits just as well in new as in old houses, and can be angled sideways so that the stove can stand exactly where you want it.
5. Type of home can be important when looking at the function of the Solo Stove.
Another thing that is important to keep in mind when planning to buy a new Solo Stove is the type of house you live in. Old, durable houses, with poor insulation, require significantly more heat than homes with good insulation and three-glazed windows. How much heat loss is there in your home? Whether you live in a low-energy house or newer, it is important to choose a Solo Stove that works well at low power.
6. Can I assemble the Solo Stove myself?
In Sweden, you may install a Solo Stove yourself, but you must be able to document that the stove is installed in accordance with the installation instructions and you should have professional knowledge. You can have the dealer install and take responsibility all the way. Normally you should expect to pay for 2 people for 6 to 8 hours.
This includes preparation and transport and depends a lot on the size of the project and the type of stove or cooker cassette to be installed.
