Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves
When choosing the best stove for your home, there are many aspects to take into consideration. The attraction of dual-functionality is only one of the many things to think about.
DEFRA approved back boiler stoves are an excellent solution to these problems. This is due to the fact that they use the most minimal amount of combustion air, which means the smoke is very low.
Clean Burn Technology
A defra-approved back boiler stove is an excellent choice if you want a clean burning stove that can heat 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 is an efficient way to make use of wood burners.
Most of our defra-approved rear boiler stoves have a heated, airwash system that helps keep the glass doors clean of soot and ash. They also come with a secondary combustion system that is able to reburn any unburned particulates that were produced during the initial combustion. This helps to keep the flue gas clean, which leads to a more efficient burning and lower fuel costs.
Certain of our stoves have been independently tested and certified as Defra SE (Smoke Exempt). The stoves achieve this by having a top air vent adjustment that keeps you from closing it completely, which would cut off oxygen supply to the flame. This will cause the fire to smolder instead of burning efficiently and release more pollutants into the atmosphere.
The moisture content of the fuel can also be a significant factor in the amount smoke that is emitted from the stove. We recommend that you burn seasoned, dry wood with less than 20% to ensure that your stove is burning as efficiently and effectively as you can. The majority of our Defra approved stoves come with a built-in moisture sensor that will adjust the burn rate according to using wet or damp 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 on the lower part of the stove. It opens and closes an air vent that draws air over the fire, while reburning smoke produced by the initial combustion process. This makes our Defra SE approved stoves even more efficient, meaning you can save even more money on your energy costs.
Easy to Clean
A defra-approved back boiler lets you run both your central heating and hot water from the same system. This can be accomplished by running a loop from the other tappings on the back boiler (there are usually 2) to your hot water tank, and then using thermosyphoning in order to get the warmth into the home. This will also ensure that your boiler never runs out of hot water because it will be supplied from the tank.
Clean your stove regularly to maintain its optimal performance. To begin, ensure the stove is cool. Clean the body and doors of the stove with an uncluttered cloth. We would recommend using a microfiber cloth, since they are much less harsh than cotton ones.
It is a good idea after wiping down the stove's interior to clean the glass. Glass cleaners are available in a variety of hardware stores and will help remove stubborn marks and stains. It is recommended to use the glass cleaner in a limited amount because too much could harm the glass's surface.
Over time, the seals around your stove's glass and doors may begin to perish. This can cause gaps that could leak heat and cause heat loss, which is why it is essential to replace these seals every annually. Depending on the model that you choose, this can be done easily with stove rope, which can be purchased from the majority of hardware stores.
If you have an Eco Design 2022-compliant back burner on a stove that is defra-approved, the combustion process will be much more efficient than with traditional wood burning stoves. This is because the newest technologies have reduced the amount of combustibles part-burned that are released into the atmosphere. Compliant stoves are more environmentally friendly and also cheaper to operate.
A back boiler stove is always more expensive than an ordinary multifuel stove because it produces more hot water. However, it is still a very economical way to heat your home, because you can run both your central heating and hot water from the same system.
Easy to Install
Boiler stoves are a stylish and efficient solution that can provide both heat and hot water for your central heating system. A wood burner with back boiler is different from other multi-fuel stoves, which must be connected to a gas boiler. It can connect directly to the hot water and central heating of your home, eliminating the need for a second heating system.
Wood burning stoves that include back boilers are an excellent choice for those who wish to be green. They also produce fewer emissions due to the fact that they burn wood or pellets, as opposed to oil or
DEFRA approved low emission stoves gas heating systems which makes them a good option for those concerned about global warming.
While many people may be confused about how a wood burning stove with a back boiler functions, the process of installing one is relatively simple. It is essential to ensure that the stove is correctly installed and is connected to your heating system. This is best done by a trained heating technician. They can make sure that the stove is installed correctly and is connected to the appropriate systems. They can also check that all safety devices are installed.
Defra Approved Stoves or Defra exempt stoves, as they are sometimes referred to, have met the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (

As such, DEFRA approved stoves, like the Defra Exempt Dunsley Yorkshire and our best selling Hi-Flame Aidan, are able to offer an extremely efficient combustion process with very low harmful emissions. They have been tested in accordance with the new Eco Design regulations which limit the amount of particulate matter, CO2, NOx and organic gases the stove produces during its 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 flames can result in a fine for creating nuisance smoke emissions. The good news is that Defra Approved back boiler stoves are not subject to these restrictions if you select the correct appliance for your home.
The
DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves exempt 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 beautiful fireplace if you live in a smoke-free zone, however logs are restricted to smokeless mineral fuels.
The stoves are compliant with Defra standards by having airtight chambers that are precisely controlled for airflow. They also employ triple airflow systems that ensure that combustion byproducts are burned off before they exit the chimney. This is not just to keep any unwanted smoke out, but also reduces the buildup of soot that can hinder the flue's flow and reduce gas efficiency.
It is crucial to purchase your Defra approved stove from a reputable local Retailer who will ensure that the appropriate size of stove is selected for your space to provide maximum heating efficiency and that it is installed correctly by a HETAS registered installer. They can also assist you to choose the best type of chimney liner to ensure a safe installation, and also provide guidance on whether your home needs additional ventilation.
