Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves

There are a variety of factors to take into consideration when selecting a new stove. The allure of dual functionality is only one of many factors to consider.

DEFRA approved back boiler stoves offer the ideal solution to these problems. They emit only a tiny amount of smoke because they require the smallest amount of combustion air.

Clean Burn Technology

If you're looking for a clean burning stove with a huge firebox that can be used to warm your home and provide hot water to your radiators, then a DEFRA list stoves certified back boiler stove might be the one you're after. These stoves are equipped with an integrated steel boiler that is capable of heating your central heating system while the fire burns inside the stove, meaning it's a far more efficient method of using wood burners.

Most of our defra-approved back boiler stoves have a pre heated, airwash system that helps keep the glass doors clear of ash and soot. They also come with secondary combustion technology that operates by reburning any unburned particulates produced during the initial burn. This helps keep the flue gas clean which leads to a more efficient burning and lower fuel costs.

Some of our stoves have been independently tested and certified as Defra SE (Smoke Exempt). The stoves accomplish this by having a top air vent adjustment that prevents you from closing it completely and thereby cutting off oxygen flow to the flame. This causes the fire to smolder instead of burning cleanly and release more pollutants into the air.

Another important aspect is the moisture content of your fuel. This could be a major factor in the amount of smoke produced by a stove. We recommend that you burn dry, seasoned wood with a moisture content of less than 20% to ensure that your stove is burning as efficiently and cleanly as possible. The majority of our approved Defra stoves are equipped with a moisture sensor that can alter the rate of combustion when burning wet wood.

Some manufacturers have gone a step further to increase 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 from the initial process of burning. 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 lets you run both your central heating and hotwater from the same system. This can be achieved by running a loop from the other taps on the back boiler (there are typically two) to your hot water tank then using thermosyphoning to get the warmth into the home. This means that your boiler will never run out of hot water because it is fed from the tank.

Clean your stove regularly to ensure its performance is at its best. To begin, make sure the stove is ice cold. Then wipe down the main body and the doors of the stove with an uncluttered cloth. We recommend using a microfiber towel since they are less abrasive.

It is a good idea after cleaning the interior of your stove to clean the glass. A glass cleaner can help to remove any marks or stains that are stubborn, and can be purchased from most hardware stores. It is best to use the glass cleaner sparingly since too much of it can cause damage to the glass's surface.

Over time the seals around the doors of your stove and the glass can begin to deteriorate. This can lead to gaps which can leak heat and cause heat loss, which is why it is essential to replace these seals every annually. Depending on the model you pick this can be accomplished quickly and easily with stove rope which is available at the majority of hardware stores.

If you have a DEFRA requirements stoves-approved stove with an Eco Design 2022 compliant back boiler that means the combustion process is more efficient than traditional wood-burning stoves. The most recent technologies have made it possible to decrease the amount of combustibles released into air. The stoves that comply with the regulations are more eco sustainable and also more affordable DEFRA stoves to operate.

Another thing to keep in mind with a back boiler stove is that it will always be a bit more expensive than a standard multifuel stove because it will generate more hot water than a normal multifuel stove. It's still a cheap method of heating your home because it can be used for both central heating as well as hot-water.

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 that must be connected to a gas boiler. It is able to connect directly to the central heating and hot water of your home, removing the need for a separate heating system.

Wood burning stoves that include a back boiler are also a great choice for those who wish to be eco-friendly. In addition, since they burn wood and pellets they produce less carbon dioxide than oil or gas heating systems, which makes them a great option for those who are concerned about the impact their energy consumption is having on global warming.

Although many people might be confused about how a wood burning stove with a back boiler functions installation of one is quite simple. The most important thing is to make sure that the stove is correctly installed and linked to your heating system, therefore it's best to have this done by a certified heating engineer. They can assist you in making sure that your stove is properly installed and connected to the right systems, as well as checking that all of the safety devices are installed.

Defra Approved Stoves or Defra exempt stoves, as they are also called they have met the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA) requirements for smoke emission levels. They are able to be used in Smoke Control Areas and have been tested and modified to ensure that they have a clean and efficient combustion that can be easily used with both wood and smokeless fuels.

As so, DEFRA approved stoves, like the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire and our top-selling Hi-Flame Aidan are able to offer high efficiency and very low harmful emissions. They have been tested in accordance with the new Eco-Design regulations, which imposes limits on the amount particulate matter (PM) as well as CO2, NOx, and organic gases a stove releases during 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 could be a cause for a fine if they are creating nuisance smoke emissions. If you select the correct appliance for your home, back boilers that are Defra-approved stoves will not be subject to these restrictions.

The DEFRA approved low emission stoves exempted wood burners are engineered to use Clean Burn technology which ensures that the fuel used is efficiently burned with little smoke production. You can still enjoy a stunning fireplace if you live in an area that is smoke-free, however logs should be restricted to mineral fuels that are smoke-free.

These stoves meet Defra standards due to their airtight chambers that are precisely controlled for airflow. They also have triple airflow systems, which ensure that combustion byproducts are burned up before they reach the chimney. This reduces nuisance smoke and minimizes soot accumulation that could block the flue or reduce gas efficiency.

It is important that you purchase a Defra-approved stove from a reputable local retailer who can make sure that the proper size stove is chosen for your space to provide the most efficient heating performance, and that it is installed correctly by a HETAS-registered installer. They can also help you choose the best type of chimney liner for secure installation and offer advice on whether your home requires additional ventilation.

Modern DEFRA approved stoves are superior to traditional wood burners or open fires. They have a minimum of 75% efficiency, which does not only lessen your environmental impact but also saves you money. Additionally, Defra Approved Contemporary Stoves approved stoves are capable of being employed in a smoke-controlled area, and will require a minimum of 6mm stainless steel twin wall flexible chimney liner, which is cheaper than the larger 12mm liners that are required for Ecodesign stoves.

If you're in any doubt whether your property is located in a smoke control zone, contact your local council who can provide you with the most recent information. Most reliable stove manufacturers have a Defra-exempt classification within their ranges to allow you to identify these appliances.
