Multi Fuel Stoves Hampstead

What does the future hold for stoves?

To many people, Hampstead will feel like a quiet local corner of the city, and whilst it may lack the hustle and bustle of Camden – which is just 3 miles away – it’s certainly not lacking in character. We feel blessed to have installed log burners and multi-fuel stoves in the many stunning Georgian homes near Hampstead Heath, so whether you’re looking for an electric stove that looks at home in your sleek flat or require an eco stove to create a cosy ambience with a classic feel, we can help you choose the right product for your specific needs. As part of DEFRA’s Clean Air Strategy 2019, all wood-burning stoves made (and placed on the market on or after 1 January 2022) have to comply with the Ecodesign regulation.

Here at Something Different, we’re often asked whether log burners or multi-fuel stoves are going to be phased out, but that’s simply not the case and we explain this in a lot of detail here. That said, it’s worth emphasising just how popular today’s eco stoves are. We have many DEFRA Approved & Eco Design Ready wood burning stoves available, which will produce 90% less emissions than an open fire and 80% fewer emissions than an average 10-year-old stove. Ultimately, we now all have access to cleaner, more efficient stoves than we did previously, and if you source your logs or wood pellets locally, a wood stove is virtually carbon neutral.

Contemporary Media Wall Fires Across Hampstead

Media Wall Fires: Freedom, Functionality & Flexibility

Some of the benefits we often hear about, in relation to media wall fires, are around moderning your home, creating a focal point that’s truly unique and delivering a cosy ambience at a fraction of the cost of a traditional fireplace. They’re all true, yet it’s important to note that media wall fires have come a long way in recent years. In the 1980s and 90s, certain houses included alcoves and nooks within the wall for home entertainment, such as a stereo, TV, early games console and VHS tapes. Contrary to what many fireplace retailers may tell you, built-in gas fires and media walls have actually been around for many years, and they’ve evolved.

Though the big wins are still very clear to see with gas and electric fires, what’s becoming even more beautiful about ‘media wall fireplaces’ is their ability to stay minimal with so many features and functionality at play. You can have ambient lighting built-in – match LED lighting around your fireplace, the colour of the dancing flames with ease. You can also control the colour of your flames as well as the speed. All of this can be controlled by your smartphone, and there’s so much more – the options are limitless. At the same time, you can have a really minimalistic display with all cabling, lights and storage neatly concealed. Our expert fireplace team have been designing and building media wall fireplaces in Hampstead and many other areas of North West London for as long as they’ve been in existence, so why not pop into our showroom, share your vision and let’s see how we can make your dream a reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. As we touched on above, wood-burning stoves are not banned in Hampstead or any other parts of London. While London is a smoke-controlled area, DEFRA-exempt stoves are authorised, meeting the new efficiency standards issued by the Government as part of their Clean Air Strategy. Whether you’re looking for a traditional logburner or a modern multi-fuel stove, we can help you find the perfect eco stove for your home in Hampstead.

Not necessarily, as stoves that are already installed are exempt from this. That said, if you replaced your logburner with an Eco Design stove, you would certainly be able to tell the difference in terms of heat and efficiency, not to mention cost savings.
