Defra Approved Back Boiler Stoves
There are many things to think about when selecting the right stove. 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 issues. They emit very little smoke because they use the minimum amount combustion air.
Clean Burn Technology
A defra-approved back boiler is a great choice to get an efficient and clean burning stove that can warm your home as well as provide hot water to radiators. These stoves are equipped with an integrated steel boiler that can be used for heating your central heating system while the fire is burning inside the stove, this means it's a much more efficient way to use wood burning stoves.
The majority of our defra certified back boiler stoves come with a pre heated airwash system that assists in keeping the glass doors free of soot and ash. They also have secondary combustion systems that is able to reburn any unburned particulates that were produced during the initial burn. This keeps the gasses from the combustion clean which results in a more efficient burn and lower fuel costs, saving you money on your energy costs.
Certain of our stoves have been independently tested and approved as Defra SE (Smoke Exempt). The stoves accomplish this by having an air vent at the top that prevents you from closing it all the way that would shut off oxygen flow to the flame. This will cause the fire to smolder instead of burning cleanly and release more pollutants into the atmosphere.
Another crucial aspect is the moisture content of your fuel. This can be a major contributor to the amount of smoke produced by a stove. We recommend that you only burn dry, seasoned wood with a moisture content of 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 built-in moisture sensors that will adjust the burn rate accordingly when using wet or damp wood.
Some manufacturers have even gone one step further to enhance the efficiency of their stoves by including an advanced clean burn system, which is controlled by a chrome pull lever on the base of the stove. This lever opens and closes the vent which draws air over the fire reburning the initial smoke created during the initial combustion process. 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 stove will allow you to run your central heating and hot water from the same system. This can be accomplished by running a loop between the other taps on the back boiler (there typically two) and your hot water tank. You can then use thermosyphoning in order to get heat into the home. This will ensure that your boiler will never run out of hot water because it will be supplied by the tank.
To maintain your stove at its peak performance, you must clean it frequently. To begin, make sure the stove is ice cold. Then wipe down the main body and doors of the stove with an uncluttered cloth. We suggest using a microfiber towel because they are less harsh.
It is a good idea,
DEFRA stoves for sale after cleaning the stove's interior to wash the glass. A glass cleaner can aid in removing any marks or stains that are stubborn, and can be purchased at most hardware stores. It is recommended to apply the glass cleaner only sparingly because too much could damage the surface of the glass.
