Topics:

• Can a Sub-Zero or Wolf be installed next to a fireplace or furnace?
• Can a Sub-Zero or Wolf be installed next to a heat source?
• Can a Sub-Zero or Wolf be installed by something that emits heat?
• Installing Sub-Zero or Wolf products next to baseboard heaters or in-floor heaters
• Does having compressor on top vs. bottom impact energy usage?

Answer:

Anything that generates extreme heat, like a fireplace or furnace may cause performance issues with appliances.

• Refrigeration products are more likely to experience performance issues next to extreme sources of heat.
• Cooking products will operate properly, but could pick up residual heat from extreme heat sources.
• Minor heat sources like in-floor radiant heat or baseboard installed heaters should not impact the performance of any Sub-Zero or Wolf product.
  • Always verify with the heating product manufacturer they have no outstanding issues with installation next to appliances.
• Compressor location will not impact energy use.
