Defra Approved Multi Fuel Stoves The latest multi-fuel stoves are approved by defra. They combine the modern technology in clean burning with traditional designs. Features include preheated-airwash systems, third-level combustion and secondary and the possibility of burning wood or smokeless fuels. The UK government requires all households in Smoke Control Areas to only use exempt appliances and authorized fuels. Stove Supermarket offers a selection of defra exempted stoves that comply to the rules. Clean Burning Defra approved stoves have been subjected to rigorous tests in order to ensure that they generate low emissions. This allows you to burn smokeless fuels legally in a smoke-free zone. Many of these stoves are also HETAS approved and come with the clearSkies certification which means they comply with the strictest emission regulations. The stoves are built with Clean Burn technology to ensure that wood can never be disconnected from its oxygen supply, which could cause it to smolder and produce black smoke. This allows the stoves to keep a low rate of combustion up until the total amount of fuel is consumed. You'll typically find that a defra exempt stove has an additional secondary airflow system that ensures that briquettes that are part-burnt and other solid fuels are burned in a controlled way, which helps reduce harmful gases and particulates. You can pick from a range of traditional and modern designs of multi-fuel stoves that are defra-approved. They are ideal for installation inside a fireplace chamber that is already in place. These models are manufactured by leading brands like Arada, Stovax and Burley and are equipped with the most recent technology of clean burning stoves. These stoves offer high efficiency in heating, secondary and tertiary combustion systems that eliminate smoke particles prior to being dragged up the chimney. Whether you live within an area that is smoke-free or not, a Defra-approved log burner is a great for any home. They can be used with natural wood or smokeless solid fuel. You can easily switch between the two by using the reversible control of your stove. This gives you complete flexibility and versatility, which means you'll be able to use your stove all year round. To comply with building regulations, a defra exempt stove must be installed by a certified installer who can ensure that the appliance is fit for regular use and follows the most recent guidelines. At Choice Stoves, we have a team of HETAS certified installers who can fit your new stove safely and correctly, making sure that you are in compliance with the government's smoke emission regulations. Low Emission Vehicles The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs of the UK government is accountable for regulating policies and practices related to food, agriculture, and other natural issues. One of the main areas they supervise is smoke control, which bans the emission of dark smoke from chimneys in urban areas (apart from certain exemptions). If you live in a large or a city town – also called an area that is smoke-free – you'll require an DEFRA approved stove to burn wood and other solid fuels legally, and keep your neighbors from being disturbed by fumes that cause nuisance to others. DEFRA stoves have been designed to pass rigorous emissions tests and minimize their outputs. They are also more sustainable than older models. As well as complying with environmental standards, DEFRA multifuel stoves are usually more efficient than conventional open fires and wood burners. This means that you can heat your home faster and release less harmful gases into the air, thereby decreasing carbon footprint. When shopping for a wood burning or multifuel stove, make sure you look for the DEFRA approved logo. It will be visible in the title of the stove or specification. It may also be followed by a 'SE', which means Smoke Exempt. If you notice this and you are sure that the stove passed the rigorous DEFRA tests and is able to be used in a smoke control area when burning fuels that are approved. Many people believe that a multi-fuel stove authorised by DEFRA can only be used with smokeless fuels, such as brquettes or firelogs. This isn't the case at all. If you follow the manufacturer's instructions and only burn approved fuels, you can burn any solid fuel in a DEFRA-approved stove, even wood that has been seasoned. DEFRA stoves near me will get the most value from your DEFRA Multifuel Stove when you make use of dry, seasoned, and seasoned wood with less than 20 percent. Wet wood may cause excessive smoke, which could cause the warranty to be void. In the same way, mineral fuels should contain a sulphur content of less than 2% to avoid excessively thick ash deposits. Versatility There is a wide selection of styles to choose from that range from traditional designs that are perfect for an existing fireplace or inglenook, to contemporary stoves that are perfect for homes without a pre-installed fire surround. A lot of Defra approved multi fuel stoves also have the option of incorporating an grate that can be multi fuel, meaning that you can burn wood and smokeless coal in addition to logs, giving you more options for heating. However if you intend to make use of the stove for slumber heating (overnight) then a Defra approved wood burner isn't the best choice as it needs a constant supply of air. Convenience If you live in a smoke control area then a Defra Approved multi fuel stove is essential. These stoves permit you to burn smokeless or wood and are designed to let this happen without releasing pollutant into the atmosphere. A Defra approved stove will help you stay in compliance with local laws and avoid expensive penalties. Defra approved stoves utilize the most advanced combustion technology to cleanly burn wood and other approved solid fuels. This is achieved by delivering the right amount of air into the firebox, preventing fuel from being depleted of oxygen. This stops part-burned combustibles like soot and ash from traveling up the chimney and then into the room. This means you're less likely to experience blocked chimneys, and that's great news for the environment too.
