Want a wood-burning stove for your Upminster home?
Say Hello to Efficient Wood Burning Stoves
It’s said that over 90% of UK homes have central heating, so why are wood-burning stoves still so popular here in East London and beyond? Adding a secondary source, such as a log-burning stove system, not only means you would be less reliant on the energy network. That’s certainly one big win, but a modern, eco stove with good quality dry wood fuel (e.g. Ready to Burn certified) reduces emissions by up to 90% compared to an open fire. Built to deliver durability, timelessness and impressive warmth, our vast range of efficient wood-burning stoves has you covered. Today’s leading stove manufacturers meet stringent regulations. With DEFRA-approved stoves, you can rest easy knowing the appliance has passed stringent tests and meets specific emission standards. Ecodesign stoves are more environmentally friendly, meeting the UK’s Smoke Control Area regulations and producing fewer emissions.
What is EcoDesign? It’s a Europe-wide regulation that sets stricter emissions and efficiency standards, and the EcoDesign standard became mandatory for new stoves in January 2022, hence the new term ‘eco stoves’. Today, many stoves will meet DEFRA and EcoDesign standards. With rising energy costs, it can make sense to diversify slightly so you’re not overly reliant on just one heat source. The stoves we supply, install and maintain across Upminster are built to burn more cleanly and efficiently, thus producing fewer particulates and harmful emissions than older models, making them a smarter choice for your wallet and the environment. If you’d like to learn more or wish to explore the leading models, please drop us a message or visit the Something Different showroom. We’d be glad to discuss your needs in more detail.
