Ok lets start with this,I have a US Stove co hotblast( https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/29764/ ) set up outside.. It is piped into the two duct lines in my mobile home with 8 inch round duct pipe.So the drunk guy that installed it made flapper type dampers that never did seem to work right..I replaced one 2 years ago due to the fact it was not sealed and heat and air was blowing under my house...I replaced it with a manual 8 inch round damper..
Now on to the problem...Whenever I decide it is time for a fire I need to go underneath the house and open both dampers and once that is done we cannot use the electric heat until I go back and close them.. So I did some research and found these.... (broken link removed to http://www.smarthome.com/307109C/8-Inch-Diameter-Normally-Closed-Electronic-HVAC-Air-Duct-Damper-with-Power-Supply-ZC108/p.aspx) Now I was just going to use the the wires and thermostat I installed for the draft motor to control the new dampers but I thought I will still have to be here to open or close them..Or am I just confused???
My goal is to set my heat up so I can have a fire and if I am gone to long and the fire dies out the electric heat will kick on and the dampers will close and keep the heat in the house..Anyone with any thoughts???
As always thanks........
