Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves

There are a variety of factors to take into consideration when selecting the best stove for your home. The attraction of dual-functionality is only one of many things to think about.

DEFRA approved back boiler stoves offer the ideal solution to these problems. They produce only a tiny amount of smoke because they use the absolute minimum amount combustion air.

Clean Burn Technology

If you're in search of a clean burning stove with a huge firebox that can be used to warm your home and provide hot water to radiators, then a defra certified back boiler stove could be the one you're looking for. The stoves come with an integrated steel boiler that can be used for heating your central heating system whilst the fire is burning inside the stove, meaning it's a much more efficient method of using a wood burner.

Most of our defra-approved rear boiler stoves come with a heated, airwashing system to keep the glass doors clear of soot and ash. The secondary combustion system re-burns any unburnt particles created during the initial burning. This helps keep the flue gas clean, which leads to a more efficient burning and lower cost of fuel.

Some of our stoves are more eco-friendly and have been independently tested to meet the latest, stricter DEFRA emission standards to become Defra SE (Smoke Exempt) approved. The stoves do this by having an air vent on the top that prevents you from closing it completely and thereby cutting off oxygen flow to the flame. This causes the fire to smoulder instead of burning efficiently and release more pollutants into the atmosphere.

Another important factor is the moisture content of your fuel. This could be a major factor in the amount of smoke produced by an electric stove. We recommend burning only dried, seasoned wood with minimum moisture content of 20% to ensure that your stove burns as cleanly and efficiently as it can. Most of our Defra approved stoves have built-in moisture sensors that adjusts the rate of combustion accordingly when using damp or DEFRA approved eco design stoves 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 that opens and closes a vent that draws air over the fire reburning the initial smoke produced in the initial process of burning. This makes our Defra SE approved stoves even more efficient, so you could save even more on your energy bills.

Easy to Clean

A defra-approved back boiler stove allows you to run your central heating and hot water off the same system. This can be accomplished by making a loop that connects the other taps on your back-boiler (there usually are two) and your hot water tank. Then, you can use thermosyphoning in order to bring heat into your home. This will also ensure that your boiler never runs out of hot water because it will be supplied from the tank.

To keep your stove operating at its optimum level of performance, you must clean it regularly. First, ensure that the stove is ice cold. Clean the main body and door of the stove using a clean, dry cloth. We recommend using a microfiber towel, as they are less rough.

After you have cleaned the inside of your stove It is recommended to wash the glass. A glass cleaner will help to remove any stubborn stains and marks, and can be purchased from a variety of hardware stores. It is best to apply the glass cleaner only sparingly because too much could harm the surface of the glass.

As time passes, the seals around the glass of your stove's and doors can start to wear out. It is important to replace the seals every year to prevent gaps that could allow heat to escape. Depending on the model that you select this can be accomplished easily with stove rope, which can be purchased from many hardware stores.

If you have an approved defra stove with an Eco Design 2022 compliant back boiler that means the combustion process is more efficient than traditional wood burning stoves. This is because the newest technologies have reduced the amount of combustibles that are part-burned that are released into the atmosphere. Stoves that are compliant are more environment efficient and are also less expensive to run.

A back boiler stove is always more expensive than a regular multifuel stove due to the fact that it produces more hot water. However, it's an economical method to heat your home, because you can run both your central heating and hot water through the same source.

Easy to Install

Boiler stoves are a stylish and efficient solution that can provide hot and warm water for your central heating system. Contrary to other multi-fuel stoves which must be connected to an existing gas boiler a wood burner with back boiler can connect directly to your main hot water and central heating supply and eliminate the need for a separate heating system.

A wood-burning stove with back boiler can be used to provide power to your heating system completely by renewable sources which makes them an eco-friendly choice than other stoves. In addition, because they burn logs and pellets produce less emissions than gas or oil heating systems, making an ideal choice for those concerned with the impact their energy use has on global warming.

While many people may be confused about how a wood burning stove with a back boiler works, the process of installing one is relatively simple. It is crucial to ensure that the stove is properly installed and is connected to your heating system. This is best done by a trained heating technician. They can make sure that your stove is set up correctly and connected to correct systems. They can also make sure that all safety devices are installed.

Defra Approved stoves, or Defra Exempt Stoves as they are sometimes referred to, have passed the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA list stoves Approved eco design Stoves (bitetheass.com)) requirements for smoke emission levels. They are able to be used in Smoke Control Areas. They have been modified and tested to ensure that they produce the most efficient burn and can be used with wood or DEFRA Approved Eco Design Stoves smokeless fuels.

DEFRA approved stoves like the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire or our top-selling Hi-Flame Aidan can provide a highly efficient burn while producing very little harmful emissions. They have been tested in accordance with the new Eco Design regulations which impose limits on the amount of particulate matter CO2, NOx, and organic gases that the stove produces in normal operation.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable

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 that are exempt from Defra are built with Clean Burn technology, which ensures that fuel is burned efficiently and produces a minimum amount of smoke. This means that you can still have a beautiful fireplace even living in a smoke-free area however, you'll need to limit the use of logs to authorised smokeless mineral fuels.

The stoves are compliant with Defra standards because they have airtight chambers controlled by airflow. They also employ triple airflow systems that ensure that combustion byproducts will be burned up before they reach the chimney. This helps to reduce nuisance smoke and reduces soot accumulation that can block the flue or reduce gas efficiency.

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

Modern DEFRA approved stoves are far superior to traditional open fires or wood burning stoves. They offer a minimum 75 percent efficiency, which is will not only lower the environmental impact, but also helps you save money. In addition to this Defra approved stoves are capable of being used in a smoke controlled area and they will require a minimum of 6mm stainless steel twin wall chimney liner, which is less expensive than the larger 12mm liners required for Ecodesign stoves.

If you are in any doubt whether your property is located in a smoke control area, check with your local council, who can provide you with the latest information. Most reliable stove manufacturers have a dedicated Defra exempt category of their product line so that you can easily identify these appliances when you shop.
