Installing a Wood Burner Safely

8th February 2017 Trusted Web Design Leave a Comment

 

Wood burning stoves are as popular as ever. According to a report in the Independent, 175,000 of them are installed in the UK every year.

 Why? Well there’s a lot to be said for that ‘rustic charm’ for starters. They’re beautiful to look at when crackling away, and provide a great focal point no matter where you put them in the house. But it’s not just the aesthetic benefits that make them so popular; they’re much cleaner than your regular open fireplace and they’re more efficient too, saving you money on your heating bills.

But if you’re thinking of having one, you should put some thought into the whole exercise first. Be safe. Be responsible. Consider the size of the area that you need to heat and how you plan to get the thing installed in the first place.

This is NOT a time for D.I.Y…

Get a professional and experienced tradesman to do it for you. A fireplace expert. You’d be amazed at how many wood burning stoves are fitted without due care and attention – the amount that are crammed into tiny hearths is staggering. Doing so can be dangerous and can often mean that the flue pipe is not allowed to work efficiently, or may not be correctly fitted.

Think about it. This is a stove. A device designed to encourage combustion of solid fuels in your home – the place where you and your family spend your time. Looking at a worst-case scenario, badly fitted fires and stoves run the risk of house fire or carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s not a risk you can afford to take – so don’t take it.

Always employ a professional and fully-trained contractor to get your wood burning stove installed safely. Look for solid fuel installers who are HETAS or OFTEC registered – the trade associations dedicated to the highest levels of excellence and safety in the heating industry. In order to qualify for registration with the association, the installers will have had to undertake training courses to ensure that they are both competent and safe in all the work that they carry out – which is of course incredibly reassuring for you, the consumer.

At Embers Heating Studio in Derby our installers are HETAS registered, meaning that they’re fully qualified to install your wood burning stove both safely and correctly. PLUS this is their job it’s what they do, so they have years of experience and expertise of doing just this.  They are not a handy man that will “give it a go…”

So not only do you get a properly fitted stove that functions efficiently, you get complete peace of mind as well too, so that you can relax and really enjoy all the benefits that a wood burning stove can bring to your home.

Give us a call on 01332 242299, email [email protected] or pop into our studio to take a look at what we have on offer and to find out how we can install your wood burning stove safely and with the minimum of disruption.

  • Our new Rais log burner looks fantastic and the fitters were very efficient and completely professional. We are so pleased with the finished stove, hearth, plastering and fitting. We decided on Embers having considered others and chose Embers on price and Jason’s patience and helpful approach. The fitters were exemplary and left everything clean and tidy- they weren’t even phased when they found a live electric wire in the chimney breast! Our final price was way below other quotes and It has been a pleasure to find such an excellent company. I would highly recommend using Embers as you will not be disappointed.

  • Were very helpful in helping us choose a fire compatible with our flue. The one we had was both illegal for the flue and ill fitted. The guys came round on time and proceeded to fit an immaculate fire and surround. Brilliant first class workmanship. I’d very highly recommend these guys.

  • Excellent.

    Mr and Mrs Lyons
  • Just wanted to let you know how impressed we were with the service received during the recent installation of our new Sherbourne Marble Surround/Riven Slate Hearth & Panel/Montage NU Convertor Ultra HE. The installers were punctual, courteous and efficient and left no mess either. The finished job looks stunning (the double bonus being that we do not have to re-decorate the room either) and makes a real focal point to the living room and to say that we are ‘thrilled to bits’ with it, would be an understatement! We would not hesitate to recommend you, to anyone we know, should they be looking for a first class job. Once again, many thanks.

  • From the moment we entered the showroom, Jason was extremely friendly & helpful. Whilst we had an idea of what type of fire we wanted, Jason spent time with us explaining our options and the features of different fires from each manufacturer. We did look at other local companies but, because of the service we first received from Jason, we came back to Embers with a view to purchase the fire. In addition to the service we received, Embers were also the most competitive price we could find. We are delighted with our fire and would certainly have no hesitation in recommending Embers to anyone. Thank you Jason for a great service. Ken Taylor

  • We would like to thank you Jason and your teams for the work done on our new central heating system and our new fireplace and fire. We are thrilled with how it looks. We would recommend you to anyone looking for the same service.

    Cath and Ian Hardy
  • Thanks Jason – the fire and fireplace look great. What a feature it has made! The guys made a neat job fitting the Riva fire and limestone fireplace. Thank you for your patience while we took on board your ideas and I kept changing my mind! You have a wide selection of fires and fireplaces to chose from.

    John and Liz Hanford
  • Excellent service.

    Mrs Ann Holmes
  • Excellent. Good sales pitch, clear description of what would be provided, fair price, good and speedy installation.

    Mr & Mrs Robin Grapes
  • Overall I was pleased with the service from Embers. Had a slight problem with the finish at first but was quickly sorted.

    Mr Lewis Burley
  • Just a quick note to say thank you for your help when we were looking for a fire to fit in our lounge a couple of months ago. We eventually decided to buy an "Evonic e1500gf3" from yourself and we are extremely happy with our decision. Thank you once again and please find the attached photograph of our completed installation. Kind regards,

    Chris and Pete Lane
  • Excellent. Helpful staff and good products.

    Kevin Halford
  • Very good service.

    Mr Challenor
  • Very pleasing. Attentive service, delivery on time with full instruction.

    Mrs Gill Thorley
  • Thought I would send this e-mail to tell you what a complete difference the new fireplace and fire has made to our living room. Also I would like to thank you for your time and trouble in ensuring all our needs were met. A big thank you to your fitters who installed the fireplace. They were very professional and caused no mess whatsover. They did a great job. Once again thank you and I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your firm to anyone who requires a new fire and fireplace.

    Mr and Mrs Nicholson
  • Great advice and service. Good choice of products and fireplace made bespoke to our requirements.
