This is a <br />common practice throughout rural Minnesota. <br />This type of heating system is quite efficient as a <br />primary heating source; however, the older units (those <br />designed and installed prior to 2020) tend to create excess <br />smoke that degrades overall air quality. The smoke can be <br />detrimental to people with respiratory health issues. <br />With air quality in mind, since 2020, the <br />Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has required <br />this type of system to be certified with new emission <br />standards. Being certified means the system produces <br />less smoke (outside and inside the home), uses less wood <br />and burns cleaner. The certification is a win -win situation <br />for the equipment owner and neighboring residents. <br />The EPA -certified requirement improves air quality by <br />creating less smoke and it increases equipment efficiency. <br />If you choose to install an outdoor boiler, here are <br />things to remember: <br />• All installations in Minnesota require the unit to be <br />EPA -certified; <br />• A mechanical permit is required from the Ramsey <br />Building Division; <br />• Ramsey City Code section 106-334 regulates <br />where boilers can be located on your property and <br />materials that can be used or burned. <br />For additional information, please contact Stephanie <br />Hanson, Community Development Director, at <br />shanson@cityoframsey.com or 763-433-9826. <br />Apply to one of Ramsey's Boards or Commissions. <br />The City of Ramsey is accepting applications for its <br />advisory Boards and Commissions. City advisories include the <br />Economic Development Authority (EDA), <br />Environmental Policy Board (EPB), <br />Park & Recreation Commission and <br />Planning Commission. <br />IVisit www.cityoframsey.com oards to apply. <br />Ramsey Resident I May/June 2025 <br />
