DEFRA guidelines stoves Approved Back Boiler Stoves

There are a variety of factors to think about when selecting a new stove. From the appealing appeal of dual functionality to practical concerns of installation, compliance and safety.

DEFRA approved back boiler stoves are an ideal solution to these issues. This is because they offer the absolute minimum amount of combustion air, meaning very little smoke.

Clean Burn Technology

A back boiler stove that is defra-approved is an excellent choice to get a stove that is clean burning and can provide heat to your home as well as provide hot water to radiators. These stoves have an integrated steel boiler that is capable of heating the central heating system while the fire is burning inside the stove. This makes it an efficient method to use wood burners.

Most of our defra approved back boiler stoves come with a pre heated airwash system which helps keep the glass doors free of ash and soot deposits. The secondary combustion system re-burns any unburnt particles created during the initial burning. This keeps the flue gases clear, which leads to a more efficient burn and lower fuel costs, which can save you money on your energy bills.

Some of our stoves have been tested independently and certified as Defra SE (Smoke Exempt). The stoves do this by having an air vent on the top that stops you from closing it completely and thereby cutting off oxygen flow to the flame. This will cause the fire to smoke instead of burning efficiently and release more pollutants into the air.

The moisture content of the fuel can be a significant factor in the amount of smoke that comes out of the stove. We recommend that you only burn seasoned, dry wood with a moisture content of less than 20% to ensure your stove is burning as efficiently and cleanly as possible. Most of our Defra-approved stoves have a built-in moisture sensor, which can be adjusted to alter the rate of combustion when you use wet wood.

Some manufacturers have gone a step further to boost efficiency by adding a second clean burn system. This is controlled by a chrome lever at the bottom of the stove. It opens and closes an air vent that draws air over the fire, while reburning smoke produced by the initial burning process. Our Defra SE approved ranges are now even more efficient. You can save money on your energy bills.

Easy to Clean

A defra approved back boiler stove allows you to run your central heating and hot water from the same system. This is accomplished by running a loop through the other tappings on the back boiler (there typically are two) to your hot water tank, and then using thermosyphoning in order to get the heat into your home. This means that your boiler will never run out of hot water because it is fed from the tank.

To keep your stove operating at its peak performance, you must keep it clean regularly. Begin by making sure that the stove is cool to the touch, then clean the main body of the stove and the door with a clean cloth. We recommend using a microfiber towel, because they are less harsh than cotton ones.

After wiping down the stove's interior it is recommended to clean the glass. Glass cleaners can be found in a variety of hardware stores and can be used to remove stubborn marks and stains. Glass cleaner should be used sparingly because too much could cause damage to glass surfaces.

Over time the seals around your stove's doors and glass can begin to deteriorate. This can cause gaps that could leak heat, so it is important to replace these seals once each year. Depending on the model you pick, this can be done easily with stove rope, which can be purchased from the majority of hardware stores.

If you have a defra approved stove that has an Eco Design 2022 compliant back boiler and the combustion process is much more efficient than traditional wood-burning stoves. This is because the newest technologies have reduced the amount of combustibles that are part-burned that release into the atmosphere. Compliant stoves are more environmentally sustainable and also more affordable to operate.

A back boiler stove is always more expensive than an ordinary multifuel stove due to the fact that it produces more hot water. It's still a cost-effective way to heat your home and can be used for central heating and hot-water.

Easy to Install

Boiler stoves can be used to provide heat to the room and hot water to your central heating system, which makes them a stylish and efficient work horse that can be an efficient and economical option. Contrary to other multi-fuel stoves which require the connection of an existing gas boiler, a wood burner with a back boiler can be connected directly to your mains hot water and central heating supply without the need for DEFRA approved high-quality stoves a second heating system.

A wood burning with back boiler could be used to run your heating system entirely from renewable sources making them an environmentally conscious choice than other stoves. They also emit less carbon dioxide, as they burn logs or pellets, as opposed to gas or oil heating system which makes them a good option for those concerned about global warming.

Although many people might be confused about how a wood-burning stove that has a back boiler operates installing one is quite simple. It is essential to ensure that the stove is installed correctly and connected to your heating system. This is best accomplished by a trained heating technician. They can help you make sure that your stove is correctly installed and connected to the correct systems, as well as checking that all of the safety features are in place.

Defra Approved Stoves, or Defra exempt stoves, as they are sometimes referred to and have been approved by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) requirements for smoke emission levels. They are able to be utilized in Smoke Control Areas. They have been modified and tested to ensure that they create a very efficient burn and can be used with wood or smokeless fuels.

As such, DEFRA approved stoves, like the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire and our best selling Hi-Flame Aidan are able to provide an extremely efficient combustion process with very low harmful emissions. They have been tested according to the Eco-Design regulations, which set limits on the amount particulate matter (PM) and CO2 NOx and organic gases a stove can emit in normal operation.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable

Smoke Control Areas are in place in the majority of UK cities and towns. Burning wood on older fireplaces or stoves could result in a fine if the smoke is considered to be an issue. The good news is that Defra approved back boiler stoves are not subject to these restrictions if you choose the correct appliance for your home.

Wood burners that are not subject to DEFRA Approved high-quality stoves are built with Clean Burn technology, which ensures that fuel is burnt efficiently and produces minimal smoke. You can still enjoy a beautiful fireplace if you reside in a smoke-controlled area, but logs must be limited to mineral fuels that are smoke-free.

To be in compliance with Defra requirements, these stoves feature airtight chambers that are precisely controlled for airflow and typically use triple airflow systems to ensure that combustion byproducts are able to be burned before they can escape the chimney. This is not just to stop any smoke from causing nuisance, but also reduces soot build up which can block the flue and reduce gas efficiency.

It is essential that you purchase your Defra approved stove from an Expert Local Retailer who can make sure that the right size of stove is selected for your room to give the highest efficiency in heating and that it is installed correctly by an HETAS registered installer. They can also assist you in choosing the most appropriate chimney liner for a safe and efficient installation. They will also help you decide if your home needs any additional ventilation.

Modern DEFRA approved stoves are far superior to traditional open fires or wood burners. They provide a minimum 75 percent efficiency, which not only reduces your carbon footprint but also saves you money. In addition to this Defra approved stoves are capable of being used in a smoke controlled area and they require a minimum of 6mm stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner, which is less expensive than the larger 12mm liners needed for Ecodesign stoves.

If you have any doubts regarding whether your home is within a smoke-control zone, you can ask your local council. They will be able provide you with the most current information. Most reliable stove manufacturers have a dedicated Defra exempt section of their product line so that you are able to easily identify the appliances you are looking for when shopping.
