What is a DEFRA Approved Wood Burning Stove?

If you reside in a smoke-free area you will need a DEFRA approved wood burning stove. These stoves allow legal use of authorised fuels without violating the law and upsetting your neighbours.

The most up-to-date DEFRA stoves features approved stoves offer the most advanced clean burn technology using secondary and tertiary combustion methods to reduce emissions. They can be combined with a variety of smokeless fuels.

Defra Approved

The term "Defra-approved stove' may seem like a complex phrase, but in actual fact it is simply an wood-burning stove that has been granted a waiver from UK smoke control areas. To obtain Defra approval the stove has to undergo rigorous tests and, if it is successful, be awarded the official designation of a DEFRA Smoke Exempt appliance.

Stoves that have been approved by Defra can only burn approved fuels and of course wood. They must perform the task effectively and with minimal smoke. They use the latest technology for combustion, which stops part-burned combustibles from going through the chimney and into the air. This is good for the environment, and it also means that these types of stoves are far less likely to block chimneys.

We have a range of multi-fuel stoves that are both modern and traditional. This includes the stunning Portway Arundel XL which has a large, panorama glass panel that gives a full view and enjoyment of a crackling fireplace.

It is Defra-approved and has an estimated price of PS1,499. It also comes with an energy rating of A and a log-burning capability for overnight use and a steel frame for high heat retention. The Bohemia X60 Cube Panorama Multifuel stove is another option to consider; this multifuel DEFRA stove comes with the power output of 3 and 9 kW and an impressive A + heating efficiency which makes it an excellent option for those who live in smoke-free areas.

The ESSE Vista is a great choice for those who prefer something more traditional. It is a Defra approved stove that offers plenty of style and quality. It has a great A+ rating and can be installed in a DEFRA Smoke Control Area thanks to its exclusive twin catalytics technology. This is a top quality stove and it also meets the upcoming Eco Design 2022 regulations.

Eco Design Ready

Eco Design regulations are a crucial part of the UK government's clean air strategy. These regulations were implemented to reduce harmful emissions generated by wood burning stoves in the UK. It is now illegal to make an entirely new wood burning stove that does not conform to the Ecodesign regulations. Stoves that are already in the supply chain may continue to be sold, however in 2022 all new installations must be Eco Design compliant.

As an Stove Industry Alliance member, we carry a selection of Eco Design approved wood-burning stoves. These stoves have been independently tested to ensure that they emit less levels of particulates than open-fires. Additionally, SIA Eco Design approved stoves have been shown to produce an 80% lower amount of CO2 emissions than an open fire.

The testing process consists of the measurement of particulate matter (PM) organic gaseous compounds (OGC) as well as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). If you purchase a SIA approved Eco Design stove, you can be confident that it was designed to minimize the production of these harmful chemicals.

To be considered Eco Design Ready, a stove must have lower emission levels in all of these tests. a higher level of fuel efficiency and a reduction in the amount of harmful by-products produced are also crucial. Our Eco Design approved wood burning stoves are equipped with advanced combustion technologies such as secondary air supply and catalytic convertors that aid in limiting the production of harmful emissions when operating.

Eco Design stoves are not only more eco-friendly but also more cost-effective to run. This is because Eco Design stoves require less fuel to produce the exact same amount of heat. You'll reduce your energy bills. Additionally an electric wood stove is a great way to be more self-sufficient in heating your home. By using wood to power your stove you can avoid the rising cost of natural gas and electricity.

Exempt

The Defra exempted stoves have been tested and examined to ensure that they can be legally used in Smoke Control Areas. This means you can use them to burn wood, or any other fuels that are approved inside these stoves (including many types smokeless fuels).

These stoves are designed to produce the smallest amount of air required for a clean and efficient burn. They produce less smoke than older open fires or wood burning stoves. They are also energy efficient and can be a cost-effective method to heat your home.

You can contact your local authority to find out whether you're in a smoke-free zone. These are typically large cities and towns where smoke pollution is a major problem for residents.

The DEFRA approved wood burning stoves - linked here, that we stock are all Eco Design Ready and have been tested independently to ensure that they meet strict EU-wide standards. They include minimum efficiencies as well as NOX and OGV ceilings as well as emission limits. The new EU Ecodesign regulations 2022 will tighten up these requirements. Make sure to check with your stove manufacturer if you're contemplating buying a stove to ensure that it is compliant with.

Manufacturers are always improving their products. Secondary and tertiary systems are used to further reduce the emissions of their stoves. DEFRA stoves have become more cost-effective and environmentally friendly thanks to the introduction of new technologies.

A DEFRA approved stove, also referred to a Defra exempt stove, is a wood burning multi fuel stove that has complied with the rigorous UK government Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs guidelines for smoke emissions. The stove is able to emit a certain amount of smoke at all times during normal operation. Look for the DEFRA logo or label on a stove or its packaging to identify it.
