Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves When selecting a new stove there are a variety of aspects to take into consideration. From the appealing appeal of dual functionality to the practical issues of installation, compliance and safety. Back boiler stoves approved by DEFRA are a great solution to these issues. This is because they offer the smallest amount of combustion air, meaning there is a very small amount of smoke. Clean Burn Technology A back boiler stove that is defra-approved is an excellent choice if you want a clean burning stove that can warm your home as well as provide hot water to your radiators. These stoves have an integrated steel boiler that is capable of heating central heating systems while the fire is burning within the stove. This makes it an efficient way to utilize wood burners. The majority of our defra certified back boiler stoves feature a pre heated airwash system which keeps the glass doors clear of soot and ash deposits. The secondary combustion system burns any unburnt particles produced during the initial combustion. This helps keep the flue gas clean which leads to a more efficient burning and lower fuel costs. Certain of our stoves have been tested independently and certified as Defra SE (Smoke Exempt). They do this by having an adjustment on the top air vent to prevent you from closing it all the way which would cut off the oxygen supply to the fire. This will cause it to smoulder instead of burning cleanly, and result in more harmful gases being released into the air. The moisture content of the fuel can also be a significant factor in the amount smoke that is released from the stove. We recommend burning only seasoned, dried wood with a minimum moisture content of 20 percent to ensure your stove burns as efficiently and effectively as possible. The majority of our Defra approved stoves come with a built in moisture sensor that will adjust the burn rate accordingly when using wet or damp wood. Some manufacturers have gone one step further to improve efficiency by adding a second clean burn system. This is controlled by a chrome lever at the lower part of the stove. It opens and closes an air vent that draws the air over the fire, reburning smoke produced by the initial combustion process. Our Defra SE approved ranges are now even more efficient. You could save more money on your energy bills. Easy to Clean A defra-approved back boiler stove allows you to run both your central heating and hot water off the same system. This is done by making a loop that connects the other taps on your back-boiler (there are usually two) and your hot water tank. Then, you can use thermosyphoning in order to bring heat into your home. This also means that your boiler will never run out of hot water since it is fed from the tank. Clean your stove regularly to ensure its performance is at its best. First, ensure that the stove is cool. Then wipe down the main body and the door of the stove using a clean cloth. We recommend using a microfiber cloth because they are less harsh than cotton ones. It is a good idea, after wiping down your stove's interior, to clean the glass. Glass cleaners are available in a variety of hardware stores and can be used to remove stubborn stains and marks. It is best to use the glass cleaner in a limited amount since too much of it can cause damage to the surface of the glass. As time passes, the seals around the glass of your stove's and doors could begin to wear down. This can lead to gaps which can leak heat and cause heat loss, which is why it is essential to replace these seals once a year. Depending on the model you pick it is possible to do this quickly and easily with stove rope that is available from most hardware stores. If you own an approved defra stove that has an Eco Design 2022 compliant back boiler that means the combustion process is much more efficient than traditional wood burning stoves. The most recent technologies have allowed for a reduction in the amount of combustibles released into the air. This has made stoves that comply with the environment and also cheaper to operate. A back boiler stove is always more expensive than a regular multifuel stove because it produces more hot water. But, it's an economical method to heat your home, because you can power both central heating and hot water through the same system. Easy to Install Boiler stoves can be used to provide heat for the area and hot water to your central heating system, making them a fashionable work horse that could be an effective and economical solution. A wood burner that has back boiler is different from other multi-fuel stoves that need to be connected to gas boilers. It is able to connect directly to the hot water and central heating of your home, eliminating the need for a separate heating system. A wood-burning stove with a back boiler can also be used to run your heating system entirely by renewable sources making them an green option over other stoves. They also produce fewer emissions, as they burn logs or pellets, rather than gas or oil heating systems making them an excellent option for those concerned about global warming. Many people are confused about how a wood-burning stove that has a back boiler operates installation of one is relatively simple. It is essential to ensure that the stove is properly installed and is connected to your heating system. This should be done by a qualified heating technician. They can make sure that your stove is set up correctly and connected to the appropriate systems. Related Homepag can also check that all safety devices are installed. Defra Approved stoves, or Defra Exempt Stoves, as they are sometimes called, have passed the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) standards for smoke emission levels. They are allowed to be used in Smoke Control Areas and have been tested and modified to produce a very clean burn that can be easily used with both wood and smokeless fuels. As as such, DEFRA approved stoves, such as the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire and our most popular Hi-Flame Aidan are able to offer a highly efficient burn with very low harmful emissions. They have been evaluated in accordance with the new Eco-Design regulations, which limit the amount particulate matter (PM) as well as CO2, NOx and organic gases a stove can emit in normal operation. Perfect for Smoke Control Areas Most UK cities and towns are classified as Smoke Control Areas and burning logs on older stoves or open fires can be a cause for a fine if they are creating nuisance smoke emissions. The good news is that Defra Approved back boiler stoves aren't subject to these restrictions if you select the correct appliance for your home. The Defra exempt wood burners are designed to utilize Clean Burn technology which ensures that any fuel burned efficiently and with minimal smoke production. You can still enjoy a beautiful fireplace if you live within a smoke-controlled area, but logs must be limited to mineral fuels that are smoke-free. These stoves meet Defra standards due to their airtight chambers with precisely controlled airflow. They also use triple airflow systems that ensure that combustion byproducts will be burned up before they escape the chimney. This is not just to stop any smoke from causing nuisance, but it also minimises the accumulation of soot, which can block the flue and reduce gas efficiency. It is essential to purchase a stove that is Defra-approved from a reputable local retailer who can make sure that the proper size stove is selected for your home to ensure maximum heating efficiency, and that it is properly installed by a registered HETAS installer. They can also assist you to select the most suitable chimney liner for a safe installation, and also provide guidance on whether your home requires additional ventilation. Modern DEFRA approved stoves are far superior to traditional open fires or wood burners. They offer a minimum 75 percent efficiency, which is not only reduces the environmental impact, but also saves you money. Defra approved back boiler stoves can be used in smoke controlled areas and require at least 6mm stainless steel twin-wall flexible chimney liner. This is cheaper than the more substantial 12mm liners required for Ecodesign stoves. If you have any doubts regarding whether your property is within a smoke-control area, you can ask your local council. They can provide you with all the latest information. Most reputable stove manufacturers have a Defra exempt category of their range so that you can easily recognize these appliances when shopping.
