Safe Stove Installation

Safety and efficiency are key to a warmer property

Have your new or replacement stove installed by a qualified HETAS fitter for safety and insurance purposes.

Proper installation ensures efficient heating. Stoves add warmth, comfort, and can increase your home’s value by up to 5%. Wood burning stoves are generally more eco-friendly and may help lower energy bills.

Steel or cast iron?

Wood burning stoves create a warm atmosphere with their scent and crackle. They are typically made from cast iron or steel.

Consider factors such as maintenance, appearance, construction and operation when comparing these materials to narrow your selection and find the right model for your home.

It is highly recommended to speak to a qualified fitter who can explain all the pros and cons of each metal.

Wood to burn

A reliable supply of firewood is essential when using a stove.

For optimal efficiency, it is important to use well-seasoned wood, as lower moisture content ensures better combustion. Ash, oak, and cherry are among the preferred timber choices due to their naturally low water content.

Additionally, proper storage must be considered; ensure that an adequately sized, dry area is available for maintaining your wood supply.
