here to help - industry expert advice We speak to two stove industry experts on what to look out for if you are thinking of investing in a woodburner... Misleading press articles may have caused you to question the environmental benefits of wood burning stoves, at a time, when burning wood in modern, Ecodesign Ready stoves are reducing greenhouse gases and improving air quality. The need to reduce CO2 emissions from fossil fuels is becoming even more pressing and wood burning stoves are playing a significant role in helping the UK achieve its carbon emission targets. SIA Ecodesign Ready stoves are designed using improved burn technology, developed by stove manufacturers to produce 90% fewer emissions than an open fire and 80% fewer emissions than a stove manufactured 10 years ago. Recent comparisons with diesel lorries and cars are emotive and inaccurate. Whether you are a stove owner or thinking of buying a stove you can be assured that the government is not banning wood burning stoves. Instead the government’s Clean Air Strategy wants to ensure that consumers use the cleanest stoves and the cleanest fuel. Whether chosen to create a cosy cottage corner or to sit at the heart of a beautiful interior design scheme, more than one million wood burning stoves and fireplaces are now installed in UK homes. Here, Bruce Allen highlights how HETAS helps advise homeowners wishing to join the club. Woodburners have become increasingly fashionable. For some it’s a lifestyle purchase, while others may want to invest in one as a renewable source of energy or simply as an accessible alternative to gas. In every case, it’s imperative that homeowners get expert advice on choosing the right appliance for their home. This is where HETAS helps homeowners to make well-informed decisions. We run the only specialist government-approved Competent Person Scheme for installers, plus schemes for sweeps and service technicians, as well as certifying approved retailers and appliances. Our HETAS Approved Retailers undertake training aimed towards giving homeowners the information they need to make the right choices when purchasing a stove. The HETAS mark provides reassurance that appliances and equipment comply with current energy efficiency, environmental and safety requirements. Once in place, regular maintenance is key. This includes chimney sweeping carried out by a HETAS Approved Chimney Sweep at least once a year. By doing this as part of its overall air quality plan the government expects to meet its air quality targets and benefit from the low CO2 emissions from burning wood instead of fossil fuels, like oil and gas. Wood remains a low carbon, renewable and sustainable choice of fuel that you can be proud of using in a modern Ecodesign Ready stove. Finally, one of the easiest things every household can do to help keep their stove in tip top condition is to ensure they only use clean dry wood that is clearly labelled under the Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme.
