OK,
I had my PE Summit insert installed a few months ago. The installer jammed some insulation between the surround and the fireplace and it seems I have a pretty good seal there. However, I notice a lot of cold air coming in from under the insert.
Does it need to be sealed underneath too in order to prevent outside air spilling into the room?
My fireplace is cut stone and seems pretty rough. It does have a standard ash cleanout in the bottom that goes down to the basement and there is a pipe coming in from outside that feeds the cleanout. This is why I chose to use the outside air option.
Should I just give up on outside air? Or is there a better way to seal my insert.
Thanks
