Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves There are a variety of factors to think about when selecting the best stove for your home. From the alluring appeal of dual function to practical concerns of installation, compliance and safety. Back boiler stoves approved by DEFRA are an excellent solution to these problems. This is due to the fact that they use the absolute minimum amount of combustion air, meaning very little smoke. Clean Burn Technology A defra-approved back boiler stove is a great choice if you want an efficient and clean burning stove that can provide heat to your home and provide hot water to radiators. These stoves are equipped with an integrated steel boiler that is capable of heating central heating systems while the fire is burning inside the stove. This is an efficient method to utilize wood burners. Most of our defra approved back boiler stoves come with a pre heated airwash system that assists in keeping the glass doors clear of soot and ash deposits. They also come with a secondary combustion system that operates by reburning any unburned particulates that were produced during the initial burn. This helps to keep the flue gas clean, which results in more efficient burning and lower cost of fuel. Certain of our stoves have been independently tested and deemed Defra SE (Smoke Exempt). They achieve this by having an adjustment on the top air vent that stops you from closing it completely, 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 could be a significant factor in the amount of smoke that comes out of an oven. 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 effectively as you can. Most of our Defra approved stoves come with built-in moisture sensors that will adjust the burn rate according to using damp or wet wood. Some manufacturers have gone one step further to improve efficiency by adding a secondary clean burn system. This is controlled by a chrome lever located on the lower part of the stove. It opens and closes an air vent that draws the air over the fire, reburning smoke produced from the initial process of burning. This makes our Defra SE approved stoves even more efficient, meaning you can save even more on your energy bills. Easy to Clean A defra-approved back boiler stove lets you run both your central heating and hotwater off the same system. This is done by running a loop between the other taps on the back boiler (there are usually two) and your hot water tank. You can then make use of thermosyphoning to bring heat into your home. This will also ensure that your boiler will never run out of hot water because it will be supplied by the tank. To keep your stove operating at its peak performance, you should clean it frequently. Begin by making sure that the stove is not hot to the touch. Next, clean the main body of the stove and the door with a clean, dry cloth. We recommend using a microfiber towel since they are less harsh. After cleaning the inside of your stove it is recommended to clean the glass. Glass cleaners are readily available in a variety of hardware stores and will help remove stubborn marks and stains. Glass cleaner is best used sparingly because too much could cause damage to glass surfaces. Over time the seals around the glass of your stove's and doors could begin to perish. It is important to replace the seals at least once a year to prevent gaps that could allow heat to escape. This can be done with stove rope that is available at most hardware stores. If you own an Eco Design 2022-compliant back boiler on a defra-approved stove the combustion process will be more efficient than traditional wood-burning stoves. Modern technology has made it possible to decrease the amount of combustibles that are released into the air. The stoves that comply with the regulations are more eco friendly and also cheaper to run. Another thing to consider when using a back boiler stove is that it is always a higher in cost than a typical multifuel stove, because it will produce more hot water than a typical multifuel stove. However, it's a very economical way to heat your home, as you can run both your central heating and hot water from the same source. Easy to Install Boiler stoves are stylish and efficient solution that can provide both heat and hot water for your central heating system. Contrary to other multi-fuel stoves which require the connection of an existing gas boiler a wood burner with back boiler can connect directly to the main hot water supply and central heating source without the need for a separate heating system. A wood burning with back boiler could be used to power your heating system entirely from renewable sources which makes them an environmentally conscious choice than other types of stoves. They also produce less emissions due to the fact that they burn wood or pellets, as opposed to oil or gas heating systems, making them a great option for those concerned about global warming. Installing a wood-burning stove with a boiler is fairly simple. It is crucial 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 verify that your stove is installed correctly and connected to the correct systems. DEFRA guidelines stoves can also make sure that all safety devices are installed. Defra Approved Stoves or Defra exempt stoves, as they are also called, have met the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) requirements for smoke emission levels. They are allowed to be used in Smoke Control Areas and have been tested and modified to ensure that they provide a clean burning that can be easily used with both wood and smokeless fuels. DEFRA approved stoves like the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire or our top-selling Hi-Flame Aidan are able offer a highly efficient combustion process with minimal harmful emissions. They have been evaluated in accordance with the new Eco-Design regulations, which limit the amount particulate matter (PM), CO2, NOx and organic gases that the stove emits in normal operation. Ideal for Smoke Control Areas Smoke Control Areas are in place in all UK cities and towns. Burning logs on older fireplaces or stoves could result in a fine if smoke is deemed to be a nuisance. If you choose the right appliance for your home, back boilers that are Defra-approved stoves will not be subject to these restrictions. The Defra exempt wood burners are engineered to utilize Clean Burn technology which ensures that the fuel used is burnt efficiently with minimal smoke production. You can still enjoy a beautiful fireplace if you live in an area that is smoke-free, however logs are restricted to smokeless mineral fuels. The stoves comply with Defra standards by having airtight chambers with precisely controlled airflow. They also employ triple airflow systems that ensure that combustion byproducts will be burned up before they escape the chimney. This is not just to keep any unwanted smoke out, but also helps to reduce the accumulation of soot, which can cause obstruction to the flue and decrease gas efficiency. It is essential to purchase a Defra-approved stove from a reputable local retailer that can ensure that the correct size stove is selected for your home to ensure the most efficient heating performance and is properly installed by a HETAS-registered installer. They can also assist you to determine the best chimney liner to ensure a safe installation and provide advice on whether your house requires additional ventilation. Modern DEFRA approved stoves are far superior to traditional wood burners or open fires. They offer a minimum 75 percent efficiency, which is does not only lessen the environmental impact, but also saves you money. Additionally, Defra approved stoves are capable of being employed in a smoke-controlled area and they will require a minimum 6mm stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner that is cheaper than the larger 12mm liners required for Ecodesign stoves. If you're in doubt whether your property is within a smoke control zone, contact your local council. They can give you the most current information. The majority of reputable stove makers have a Defra exempt category of their range so that you are able to easily identify these appliances when shopping.
