The latest Defra approved stoves feature the most advanced technology for clean burning, employing secondary and tertiary combustion methods to further reduce emissions. They can be combined with a wide range of smokeless fuels.

Defra Approved

The term "Defra-approved stove' might seem like a complex piece of jargon but, in actual fact it is simply a wood burning stove that has been granted an exemption from UK smoke control areas. To be eligible for Defra approval a stove has to undergo rigorous testing and, if successful, be awarded the official designation of a DEFRA registered stoves Smoke Exempt appliance.

Stoves that are Defra approved can only burn authorised fuels and of course wood - and they have to do it efficiently and with very little smoke. This is because these stoves are able to achieve the very latest technology for combustion that blocks any part-burned combustibles from going up the chimney, and consequently into the air. This is good for the environment and reduces the risk of a chimney blockage.

In addition to providing a range of most efficient DEFRA approved wood burners, we also carry a range of traditional and contemporary multi-fuel stoves. This includes the striking Portway Arundel XL, which has a large glass panel that lets you to enjoy the mesmerising allure of a crackling fire, while enjoying an expansive view of the flames and the glow.

It is Defra-approved and comes at the price of just PS1,499. It also comes with an A energy rating, overnight log burning capabilities and a steel frame for great heat retention. The Bohemia X60 cube panorama Multifuel stove is a different alternative to consider. This multifuel DEFRA stove boasts a power output of between 3 and 9kW and an impressive A plus heating efficiency which makes it an excellent choice for those living in smoke controlled areas.

If you're looking for something a little more traditional, you can choose the ESSE 700 Vista. A Defra approved stove that has lots of style and quality, it offers an overnight log burning capacity and an excellent A+ energy rating, in addition to being suitable for use in the DEFRA smoke control zone due to the twin catalytic technology. This is a top-quality stove, and it is also compliant with the coming Eco Design 2022 regulations.

Eco Design Ready

Eco Design regulations are a crucial part of the UK government's clean air strategy. The regulations were enacted to reduce harmful emissions produced by wood burning stoves in the UK. It is now illegal for a wood-burning stove to be manufactured that does not meet the Ecodesign regulations. Stoves that are already in the supply chain can continue to be sold, however, from 2022 the new installations must be Eco Design compliant.

As a member of the Stove Industry Alliance (SIA) we stock a range of Eco Design approved wood burning stoves that have been independently tested and proven to have lower levels of particulate matter when compared with open fires. In addition to this, SIA Eco Design approved stoves have been found to generate 80% less CO2 emissions than an open fire.

The testing process includes measuring particulate (PM) organic gases (OGC) and nitrogen oxides. If you purchase a SIA approved Eco Design stove, you can be assured that it has been constructed to minimize the production of these harmful chemicals.

To be classified as Eco Design Ready, a stove must have lower emission levels in all of these tests. the higher level of efficiency in fuel use and a decrease in the quantity of harmful byproducts created are also crucial. Many of our Eco Design approved wood burners have advanced combustion technology, like secondary air supply and catalytic converters that help in limiting the emission of harmful gases in operation.

Not only are Eco Design approved stoves better for the environment, they're also more cost-effective to run. This is because they require less fuel to produce the same amount of heat, which means you'll save money on your energy bills. A wood-burning stove can aid in heating your home more efficiently. By using wood to power your stove you can reduce the cost of electricity and natural gas.

Exempt

The stoves that are exempted from Defra have been tested and examined to ensure they can be used legally in Smoke Control Areas. This means that you can burn wood, or authorised fuels in them (including many types smokeless fuels).

These stoves are designed for the smallest amount of air needed for a clear and efficient burn. They produce less smoke than older open fires or wood burning stoves. They are also very efficient in terms of energy consumption and are ideal for heating your home at a lower cost.

In addition to being an excellent choice for those who live in Smoke Control Areas, these stoves are a great alternative to fossil fuel heating in general. These stoves are often cheaper than gas or electric fires and, if you use local logs, they are also carbon neutral.

It is crucial to remember that if you are in a Smoke Control Area then only dry, seasoned and dry wood can be used to fuel your DEFRA exempt stove. Burning damp or wet wood may produce excessive smoke that could infringe the law and result in the levy of a fine.

You can contact your local authority to find out if you live in a smoke-free zone. These are typically big cities and towns where smoke pollution is a major problem for residents.

The DEFRA approved wood burning stoves that we sell are all Eco Design Ready and have been tested independently to ensure that they are in compliance with EU-wide standards. These include minimum efficiencies as well as ceilings for OGV and NOX, as well as emission limits. The new EU Ecodesign regulations 2022 will increase the requirements. Check with your stove provider if you're thinking of buying one to ensure that it will comply.

Stove manufacturers are constantly upgrading their products by adding secondary and tertiary combustion systems being used to reduce the emissions of their stoves further.

Smoke Control Area

A DEFRA approved stove, also known as a Defra exempt stove is a wood-burning multi fuel stove that has passed the strict UK government Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs guidelines for smoke emissions.
