Burn only mature logs for optimal heat and efficiency.

Wood is considered a much more environmentally friendly fuel compared to oil, gas, and electricity, and its prices tend to be more stable. However, freshly cut wood contains significant moisture and should be properly dried before use. A process that can take between 18 and 24 months. Burning wet or unseasoned wood is not recommended, as it leads to soot accumulation in your chimney and dirties your burner.

Do I Need A HETAS Engineer To Fit My Stove ? Expert advice is vital for safety and efficiency, plus insurance.

To ensure safety and efficiency, always use a HETAS-registered professional to install your wood or pellet stove. A qualified fitter will assess your chimney, floor protection, and help you choose the most efficient stove for your home.

People often ask us about the ideal location and method for installing a new wood stove. While you can install stoves in many areas of the house, certain spots are much more suitable than others.

Flue pipes work best when straight, as this improves airflow. Piping should ideally rise directly to a chimney above the stove, but angles can be used if necessary. Less curved runs create stronger drafts for more efficient burning and heat.

If it’s at all possible to install your new wood burning stove in the centre of your house this without doubt is the favoured option!!

The heat output is amazing.

A key benefit of using a wood burner is its impressive heat output. Wood burning stoves quickly and efficiently warm up your home. Thus making rooms cozy in little time. Many recent owners can confirm this advantage.

Wood burners come in different sizes and energy output levels, allowing you to select a model suited to the space you want to heat. It’s advisable to consult a HETAS-registered professional when choosing, as picking the wrong stove can be very expensive.
