How Much Does It Cost To Install A Stove ?
A stove installation will again vary depending on the siting of the new stove. Do get professional advice (HETAS registered) as this could save you money both in the short and long term.
As an example, if you already have a chimney, that will make it cheaper. Aas one won’t need to be built. However, it might need to be relined to make sure it won’t let any gases escape into your home.
You can also have a freestanding stove, which doesn’t need a chimney. But you will still need to have the flue (effectively acting as the chimney) fed outside somewhere, which will involve construction work on your home.
When installing a new wood stove, it is recommended to use a registered fitter.
The installation of a wood burner must comply with building regulations and the easiest way to do this is to use a qualified fitter.
HETAS-registered installers deal with wood, solid-fuel and biomass domestic heating appliances and can self-certify that their work complies with building regulations, so it’s safe and legal.
Why install and use a stove in the first place?
There are many benefits of using a wood stove for your residential heat.
The most obvious is the cleanliness of burning wood. Clean dry wood gives off less particulate matter and is a renewable resource. This contrasts with gas powered alternatives.
Another major benefit is the cost efficiency as wood can cost a great deal less than electricity and gas.
