What is a DEFRA Approved Wood Burning Stove?

If you reside in a region that is smoke-free, you will need to use a wood burning stove approved by DEFRA. These stoves let you use fuels that are approved without breaking the law or causing trouble to your neighbors.

The latest Defra-approved stoves use the latest clean burning technology, using secondary and tertiary systems to reduce emissions. Typically, they are also able to be used with a wide range of approved smokeless fuels.

Defra Approved

The term 'Defra approved stove' could seem like a complex word, but in reality it is simply wood-burning stove that has been granted a waiver from UK zones of smoke control. To be eligible for Defra approval, a stove must undergo rigorous tests. If successful it is given the official title DEFRA Smoke Exempt Appliance.

Stoves that are Defra approved can only burn authorised fuels and, of course, wood - and they must do so efficiently and without much smoke. This is because these stoves can achieve the very latest combustion technology that stops any combustibles that are part-burned from going through the chimney, and thus into the air. This is beneficial for the environment, and it also means that these types of stoves are much less likely to block chimneys.

In addition to providing a range of most efficient DEFRA approved wood burners, we also carry a variety of contemporary and traditional 5kw multi fuel stoves defra approved-fuel stoves. This includes the stunning Portway Arundel XL which has an enormous, panoramic glass panel that allows for full enjoyment and view of a warm fireplace.

It comes with an A energy rating as well as overnight log burning capabilities and a body made of steel for excellent heat retention, as well as being premium DEFRA stoves approved and priced at PS1,499. The Bohemia X60 Cube Multifuel stove is another option to think about; this multifuel DEFRA stove boasts a power output of between 3 and 9kW and an impressive A + efficiency for heating, making it a superb choice for those living in smoke controlled areas.

If you're seeking something more traditional, there's the ESSE 700 Vista. A Defra approved stove with lots of style and quality It comes with the ability to burn logs overnight and an impressive A+ energy rating, in addition to being capable of being used in a DEFRA smoke control zone thanks to the patented twin catalytic technology. This is a top-quality stove, and it also meets the upcoming Eco Design 2022 regulations.

Eco Design Ready

Eco Design regulations are a key element of the UK government's clean air policy. These regulations were enacted to limit harmful emissions from wood-burning stoves across the UK. It is now illegal to produce a new wood burning stove that does not conform to the Ecodesign regulations. Stoves already in the supply chain may continue to be sold, but from 2022 all new installations will have to be Eco Design compliant.

As a member of the Stove Industry Alliance (SIA) we carry a selection of Eco Design approved wood burning stoves that have been independently tested and have been proven to have lower levels of particulate matter in comparison to open fires. SIA Eco Design stoves also generate 80% fewer CO2 emissions than an open fire.

The testing process involves measuring particulate matter (PM), organic gaseous compounds (OGC) as well as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). If you purchase a SIA approved Eco Design stove, you can be sure that it has been constructed to limit the production of these harmful chemicals.

Eco Design Ready stoves must meet lower emission levels in all tests. They also must have a higher fuel efficiency and produce less harmful by-products. Our Eco Design approved wood burning stoves feature the most advanced combustion techniques, such as secondary air supply and catalytic convertors which assist in limiting the production of harmful emissions in operation.

Eco Design stoves are not only better for the environment but also more economical to run. This is because Eco Design stoves consume less fuel to generate the same amount of heat. You'll reduce your energy bills. A wood burning stove can also help you heat your home more efficiently. By using wood to power your stove, you can reduce the cost of electricity and natural gas.
