stove installation considerations

Installing a stove involves several important considerations to ensure safety, efficiency, and long-term satisfaction. Factors such as the location of the stove, the type of flue or chimney required, and compliance with building regulations are critical to a successful installation. Ventilation, proper clearances, and the size and design of the stove must also be tailored to suit the room and your heating needs. By addressing these elements with the help of a certified installer, you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your stove with complete peace of mind.

Location and space

Ensure adequate space around the stove to meet safety guidelines. This includes clearances from combustible materials such as walls, furniture, and curtains.

Room Size

Choose a stove with the appropriate heating capacity for the room size. A stove that's too large can overheat the room, while one that's too small may not provide enough warmth.

Chimney

If installing in an existing fireplace, make sure the chimney is in good condition and meets the necessary standards. A flue liner may be required for safety and efficiency.

Flue System

f there’s no existing chimney, a twin-wall insulated flue system will be needed. Ensure it is properly positioned, either externally or internally, to vent smoke safely.

Ventilation

Wood-burning stoves require a constant supply of air for combustion. Make sure the room is adequately ventilated to avoid a build-up of dangerous gases or condensation.

Building Regulations and HETAS Certification

A HETAS-certified installer ensures compliance with the highest standards.

Flue Pipe Sizing

The diameter of the flue pipe should match the stove’s outlet size to ensure proper draft and efficiency. Avoid excessive bends that can restrict airflow.

Fuel Type

Consider the type of fuel the stove is designed for (wood, multifuel, etc.) and the availability of that fuel in your area.

Features

Choose whether you prefer a stove with a glass door for a view of the fire, which may require more frequent cleaning.

Safety and Maintenance

Install a carbon monoxide detector in the room where the stove is located for additional safety. Schedule annual chimney sweeps .

All Your Stove Installation Needs Covered

As HETAS-qualified installers, we specialise in the safe and efficient installation of wood-burning and multifuel stoves. Whether you're looking to install a stove in an existing fireplace, or need a full installation in a new space, we have the expertise to ensure a seamless process. If you have an existing fireplace and chimney, we’ll install a flue liner within the masonry chimney, ensuring optimal performance and safety. We can also modify the chimney breast and fireplace to create the perfect space for your new stove.

For homes without a chimney, we still have you covered. We can install a free-standing stove connected to a twin-wall insulated flue system. This system can be constructed externally along the wall or internally, passing through the property and exiting through the roof, giving you the flexibility to enjoy your stove no matter your home's layout.

CCTV camera chimney surveys

Ensure your chimney’s safety and performance with our cutting-edge CCTV Camera Surveys.

Using advanced technology, we thoroughly inspect the interior of your chimney to identify blockages, structural issues, or potential risks that might affect its efficiency.

Our surveys deliver crystal-clear visuals and in-depth evaluations, allowing us to provide tailored recommendations for cleaning or necessary repairs.

Whether you’re planning a sweeping service or seeking assurance about your chimney’s condition, our CCTV inspections are an essential step in preserving a safe and efficient fireplace or stove. Let us help keep your home warm, secure, and worry-free.

stove installation FAQs

Can I install a stove without an existing chimney?

Yes, if your home doesn’t have an existing chimney, we can install a free-standing stove connected to a twin-wall insulated flue system. This system can be constructed externally or internally to vent smoke safely.

How do I know which stove is right for my home?

The ideal stove depends on factors such as the size of the room, the heat output you need, and your preference for wood-burning or multifuel stoves. Our experts can help you choose the best stove based on your needs and the available space.

What is a flue liner, and do I need one?

A flue liner is a protective lining that runs inside the chimney, ensuring safe and efficient venting of smoke. If you have an existing chimney, a flue liner is often necessary to ensure optimal draft and to prevent dangerous creosote build-up.

Can I install a stove in a new fireplace opening?

Yes, we can install a stove in a prepared opening, or we can carry out the necessary work to modify the chimney breast and fireplace to make it suitable for stove installation.

How long does stove installation take?

Stove installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on factors like the complexity of the installation (e.g., chimney work or flue system setup) and the type of stove being installed.

Do I need to install a carbon monoxide detector?

Yes, it’s highly recommended to install a carbon monoxide detector in the room where the stove is located. This provides added safety in case of any issues with ventilation or combustion.

Is stove maintenance required?

Yes, regular maintenance is essential to ensure your stove operates efficiently and safely. This includes annual chimney sweeping to remove soot and creosote build-up, as well as checking for any issues with the stove or flue system.

Can I install a stove in a room with no ventilation?

Proper ventilation is necessary for a wood-burning stove to operate efficiently and safely. If the room lacks adequate air supply, an external air vent may need to be installed to ensure proper combustion and to prevent the buildup of harmful gases.

What type of fuel can I use in my stove?

Stoves can be designed for wood, multifuel (including coal, peat, and more), or other fuel types. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations and ensure you are using the appropriate fuel for your stove.

Can I use a stove as my primary heat source?

Yes, many homeowners use a stove as their primary heat source, especially in well-insulated homes. However, the stove’s heating capacity should match the size of the room, and it may be beneficial to use it alongside other heating systems for larger homes.

How much will it cost to install a stove?

The cost of stove installation varies depending on factors such as the type of stove, the complexity of the installation (e.g., flue system, chimney work), and additional materials required. Our team can provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs.
