Install a new stove for your home to improve the comfort

We are always being asked the best place and way to install a new appliance. Stoves can be installed almost anywhere in the home but as with most things some are better than others. Some people attempt to install stoves themselves, but to install a stove safely and efficiently, the install must be completed by a HETAS registered engineer.

When it comes to flue pipes the hard and fast rule is the straighter they are the better the air will flow. Ideally, your piping should rise directly up into a chimney located above the stove but angles can be added if required. Straighter or less curved runs create stronger air drafts that will promote more efficient burning and heat creation. This will also reduce the amount of creosote build up which is far safer for your home thus reducing the risk of chimney fires.

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. Once the stove has been lite you will find your whole house will become much warmer very quickly as the central chimney warms up. We always get customers commenting how much warmer the whole house gets and therefore reduces central heating costs accordingly.
