Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves

When selecting a new stove there are a myriad of things to consider. From the enticing appeal of dual functionality to the practical aspects of installation, safety, and compliance.

Back boiler stoves that have been approved by DEFRA are an excellent solution to these problems. They produce only a tiny amount of smoke because they use the minimum amount of combustion air.

Clean Burn Technology

A defra-approved back boiler is an excellent choice if you want a stove that is clean burning and can warm your home as well as provide hot water to your radiators. These stoves are equipped with an integrated steel boiler that is capable of heating the central heating system while the fire is burning inside the stove. This makes it an efficient way to use wood burners.

Most of our defra approved back boiler stoves have an airwash system that is pre heated that assists in keeping the glass doors free of soot and ash. The secondary combustion system re-burns any particles that were not burned during the initial burning. This keeps the flue gases clean which results in a more efficient burn and lower fuel costs, saving you money on your energy bills.

Some of our stoves are more eco-friendly and have been independently tested to meet the latest, stricter DEFRA emissions standards to become Defra SE (Smoke Exempt) approved. They do this by having an adjustment on the top air vent to prevent the vent from closing all the way which will cut off the oxygen supply to the fire - this causes it to smolder instead of burning cleanly, resulting in more pollutants being released into the air.

Another important aspect is the moisture content of your fuel. This can be a major contributor to the amount of smoke produced by an electric stove. We recommend burning only seasoned, dried wood with minimum moisture content of 20 percent to ensure your stove burns as cleanly and efficiently as is possible. Most of our Defra approved stoves have built-in moisture sensors that adjusts the burn rate according to using damp or wet wood.

Some manufacturers have taken a step further to enhance the efficiency of their stoves by including an advanced clean burn system which is controlled by an chrome pull lever at the base of the stove that opens and closes a vent that draws air into the fire and reburns the initial smoke produced in the initial process of burning. Our Defra SE approved ranges are now even more efficient. You could save more money on your energy costs.

Easy to Clean

A back boiler that is DEFRA registered stoves certified stove will allow you to run your central heating as well as hot water off the same system. This can be achieved by running a loop from the other tappings on the back boiler (there are typically two) to your hot water tank then using thermosyphoning to get the heat into the house. This will also ensure that your boiler will never run out of hot water as it will be supplied from the tank.

To ensure that your stove is operating at its optimum level of performance, you should clean it regularly. Start by ensuring that the stove is cool to the touch. Then, clean the main body of the stove as well as the door with a clean and dry cloth. We would recommend using a microfiber cloth because they are less abrasive than cotton ones.

It is a good idea after you've cleaned your stove's interior to wash the glass. Glass cleaners are available at most hardware stores and can be used to remove stubborn marks and stains. Glass cleaner should be used sparingly as too much can damage glass surfaces.

As time passes, the seals that surround the glass and doors of your stove will begin to wear down. It is important to replace the seals every year to prevent gaps that allow heat to escape. Depending on the model that you choose this can be accomplished quickly and easily with stove rope which can be purchased from many hardware stores.

If you own a defra-approved stove that has an Eco Design 2022 compliant back boiler, then the combustion process is much 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 air. This has made stoves that are compliant much more environmentally friendly and also more affordable to run.

A back boiler stove will always be more expensive than a regular multifuel stove since it produces more hot water. However, it's an economical method to heat your home, as you can power both your central heating and hot water from the same source.

Easy to Install

Boiler stoves are able to provide heat to the room and hot water to your central heating system, which makes them a stylish work horse that can be an effective and economical solution. Unlike other multi-fuel stoves, which require the connection of an existing gas boiler, a wood burner with back boiler can connect directly to your mains hot water supply and central heating system without the need for a second heating system.

Wood burning stoves that include a back boiler are also an excellent choice for those who want to be green. They also emit less carbon dioxide, as they burn logs or pellets, rather than gas or oil heating system which makes them a good option for those concerned about global warming.

Many people are confused about how a wood-burning stove that has a back boiler operates, the process of installing one is fairly straightforward. The key is to ensure that the stove is properly installed and connected to your heating system, therefore it is recommended to have this completed by a licensed heating engineer. They can help you make sure that your stove is correctly installed and connected to the right systems, and also checking that all of the safety features are in place.

Defra Approved stoves, or Defra Exempt Stoves, as they are sometimes referred to and have passed the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (premium DEFRA stoves [try these out]) requirements for smoke emission levels. They are able to be used in Smoke Control Areas and have been tested and modified to provide a clean burning which can be used with both wood and smokeless fuels.

As such, DEFRA approved stoves, such as the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire and our best DEFRA stoves selling Hi-Flame Aidan can provide high efficiency and very low harmful emissions. They have been tested to the latest Eco Design regulations which impose limits on the amount of particulate matter, CO2, NOx and organic gases that the stove produces in its normal operation.

Smoke Control Areas Suitable

Smoke Control Areas are in place in all UK cities and towns. Burning wood on older stoves or open fireplaces may result in a fine if the smoke is deemed to be an annoyance. The good news is that Defra Approved back boiler stoves aren't subject to these restrictions if you choose the correct equipment for your home.

This means that you can still enjoy a beautiful fireplace when you live in a smoke controlled area however, you'll need limit the logs to approved mineral fuels that are smoke-free.

The stoves are compliant with Defra standards due to their airtight chambers that are precisely controlled for airflow. They also have triple airflow systems that ensure that combustion byproducts will be burned up before they reach the chimney. This not only helps to stop any smoke from causing nuisance, but also reduces soot build up which can hinder the flue's flow and reduce gas efficiency.

It is crucial to purchase a stove that is DEFRA recognized stoves-approved from a trusted local retailer who can ensure the right size stove is chosen for your space to provide the highest efficiency in heating, and that it is properly installed by a registered HETAS installer. They can also help you choose the best type of chimney liner to ensure a safe installation, and also provide guidance on whether your house requires additional ventilation.

Modern DEFRA approved back boiler stoves are a world away from open fires of the past and traditional wood burners, and you can expect a minimum of 75% heat efficiency that will not only save you money, but also decrease your the environmental impact. Defra approved back boiler stoves can be used in smoke controlled areas and will require a minimum 6mm stainless twin-wall chimney liner made of steel. This is less expensive than the more substantial 12mm liners required for Ecodesign stoves.
