Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves When selecting the best stove for your home, there are many factors to consider. From the enticing appeal of dual function to the practical issues of installation, compliance and safety. DEFRA approved back boiler stoves are the ideal solution to these problems. This is due to the fact that they use the absolute minimum amount of combustion air, resulting in very little smoke. Clean Burn Technology If you're looking for a hygienic burning stove with a large firebox that has the ability to heat your home and provide hot water for your radiators, then a defra-approved back boiler stove could be the one you're looking for. 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 method to make use of wood burners. The majority of our defra-approved back boiler stoves have an airwash system that is pre heated which assists in keeping the glass doors free of soot and ash deposits. They also come with secondary combustion technology that operates by reburning any unburned particulates created during the initial burn. This helps keep the flue gas clear, which results in more efficient burning process and lower fuel costs. Certain of our stoves have been independently tested and deemed Defra SE (Smoke Exempt). They do this by having an adjustment on the top vent that prevents you from shutting it completely, that would shut off the oxygen supply to the fire – this can cause it to smolder rather than burn cleanly and result in more harmful gases being released into the atmosphere. The moisture content of the fuel could be a significant element in the amount of smoke that is released from the stove. We recommend that you only burn dry, seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 20% to ensure your stove is burning as efficiently and as cleanly as possible. Most of our Defra-approved stoves are equipped with a moisture sensor which will adjust the burning rate when using wet wood. Some manufacturers have gone one step further to increase the efficiency of their stoves by including an advanced secondary clean burn system, which is controlled by the chrome pull lever located at the base of the stove. It opens and closes a vent that draws air over the fire, re-burning the initial smoke created during the initial combustion process. This makes our Defra SE approved stoves even more efficient, which means you could save even more on your energy bills. Easy to Clean A defra approved back boiler stove can be used to run your central heating and hot water from the same system. This can be done by making a loop that connects the other taps on the back-boiler (there are usually two) and your hot water tank. You can then make use of thermosyphoning to transfer heat into the home. This also means that your boiler will never run out of hot water as it will be supplied by the tank. Clean your stove on a regular basis to ensure that it is operating at its peak. 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 and dry cloth. We recommend using a microfiber towel because they are less rough. It is a good idea, after wiping down your stove's interior, to clean the glass. Glass cleaners are readily available at most hardware stores and can help remove stubborn marks and stains. It is recommended to apply the glass cleaner only sparingly, as too much can damage the glass's surface. Over time, the seals that surround the glass and doors of your stove will begin to wear down. It is essential to replace the seals at least once a year to prevent gaps that can allow heat to escape. Depending on the model you pick it is possible to do this easily with stove rope, that is available from many hardware stores. If you have an Eco Design 2022-compliant back boiler on an approved defra stove, the combustion process will be more efficient than with traditional wood burning stoves. The latest technologies have made it possible to decrease the amount of combustibles that are released into the air. This has made stoves that are compliant more eco-friendly and also cheaper to operate. Another thing to remember with a back boiler stove is that it will always be a little bit more expensive than a standard multifuel stove, because it will produce more hot water than a typical multifuel stove. However, it is still a very economical way to heat your home, because you can run both your central heating and hot water from the same system. Easy to Install Boiler stoves are stylish and efficient option that can provide hot and warm water for your central heating system. A wood burner with a back boiler is different from other multi-fuel stoves, which must be connected to gas boilers. It can be connected directly to central heating and hot water of your home, removing the need for a second heating system. A wood burning with back boiler can be used to power your heating system entirely by renewable sources making them an green option than other stoves. In addition, because they burn pellets and logs produce less emissions than oil or gas heating systems, making them an excellent choice for those concerned with the impact their energy usage is having on global warming. Installing a wood-burning stove that has an electric boiler is relatively simple. It's important to ensure the stove is correctly installed and connected to your heating system. This should be done by a trained heating technician. They can ensure that the stove is installed correctly and connected to appropriate systems. DEFRA compliant stoves list can also ensure that all safety devices are installed. Defra Approved Stoves, also known as Defra exempt stoves, as they are also called and have been approved by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) requirements regarding smoke emission levels. They can be used in Smoke Control Areas. They have been modified and tested to ensure they provide an extremely efficient combustion and can be used with wood or smokeless fuels. As so, DEFRA approved stoves, such as the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire and our most popular Hi-Flame Aidan, can provide high efficiency and very low harmful emissions. They have been tested according to the new Eco Design regulations, which restrict the amount of particulate matter, CO2, NOx and organic gases that the stove produces in its normal operation. Suitable for Smoke Control Areas Most UK cities and towns are classified as Smoke Control Areas and burning logs on older stoves or open fires could lead to a fine for creating nuisance smoke emissions. The good news is that Defra Approved back boiler stoves are exempt from these restrictions if you select the right appliance for your home. Wood burners exempt from Defra are built with Clean Burn technology, which ensures that the fuel is burned efficiently and produces minimal smoke. This means that you are able to enjoy a beautiful fireplace when you live in a smoke-free zone however, you'll need to limit the use of logs to smokeless mineral fuels. The stoves comply with Defra standards because they have airtight chambers with precisely controlled airflow. They also have triple airflow systems that ensure that combustion byproducts are burned off before they exit the chimney. This is not just to keep any unwanted smoke out, but it also minimises the accumulation of soot, which can block the flue and reduce gas efficiency. It is essential to purchase a Defra-approved stove from a reputable local retailer who can make sure that the right size stove is chosen for your space to provide maximum heating efficiency and is installed correctly by a HETAS-registered installer. They can also help you choose the best type of chimney liner for safe installation, and also provide guidance on whether your house requires additional ventilation. Modern DEFRA approved stoves are superior to traditional open fires or wood burning stoves. They provide a minimum 75 percent efficiency, which is not only reduces your carbon footprint but also saves you money. In addition to this Defra approved stoves can be used in a smoke-controlled area, and will require a minimum 6mm stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner that is less expensive than the more expensive 12mm liners that are required for Ecodesign stoves. If you have any doubts regarding whether your home is in a smoke-control zone you can check with your local council. They can provide you with all the most current information. Most reliable stove makers have a Defra exempt section of their range, so that you can easily identify these appliances when shopping.
