What Are Defra Approved Stoves?

Also known as Defra Exempt Stoves and Smoke Control Approved Stoves, these stoves are typically designed to burn Defra approved smokeless fuels, such as Anthracite ovals. They are not suitable for use with wood.

To qualify as Defra exempt, a stove has to meet laboratory testing requirements for air controls and flue draught. These tests are a little different from the actual conditions.

Clean Burn Technology

A DEFRA approved stove is a wood-burning or multi-fuel stove that has passed a stringent test conducted by the UK Government's Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). This test ensures the stove can burn approved smokeless fuels, like logs or briquettes in smoke Controlled Areas. This type of stove is not only more eco-friendly however, it is better for your neighbours too because it reduces nuisance smoke.

These DEFRA stoves have a special combustion technology that lets them sleep or slumber longer than other stoves. This means that they can burn any approved smokeless fuels efficiently and in a efficient manner while still sustaining the required heating output for your home. They accomplish this by limiting the flow of oxygen into the firebox, which forces the fuel to burn at a low amount until it's completely depleted.

Defra stoves are often referred to as SE stoves or smoke-free stoves. They also will have an emblem or label with the DEFRA logo on it. You might even see them labelled as 'Ecodesign 2022 compliant which means they will be able to meet the new Ecodesign emissions limits when they enter force next year.

When it comes to buying a DEFRA stove, there are many different aspects you need to take into consideration. These include the style of stove, the types of fuel you can burn and the amount of heat it is able to generate. It is also possible to think about other options, for instance a remote control system that is simple to use or an air wash system.

There are a variety of DEFRA stoves that are woodburning or multi-fuel available. There are numerous traditional models available when you are looking to install the stove inside an existing fireplace or inglenook. However, there are also contemporary and modern options that look great without a surround or mantle. It is also important to think about the fuel you're planning to use, as there are DEFRA exempt wood burners and several specifically Defra approved stoves that only allow for the usage of authorised smokeless fuels.

Suitable for Smoke Controlled Areas

The majority of cities and towns in the UK are defined as Smoke Control Areas, so if you live in one then you will need to have a DEFRA exempt wood burner or multi-fuel stove. These stoves are designed to adhere with the Clean Air Act regulations, and have been tested for smokeless combustion.

A DEFRA approved stove has been developed with Clean Burn Technology, which is why they are smoke-free. This is achieved by forcing a continuous supply of oxygen to the combustion chamber until the fuel has been consumed. This means that the fire can't be turned off, as in a conventional stove. It will continue to burn at a low level until all the fuel is consumed and the exhaust gases have been eliminated.

This permits stoves to be used legally in a Smoke Control Area, with 'authorized fuels'. This includes wood as well as manufactured smokeless fuels, such as anthracite and smokeless briquettes as well as firelogs. This is in contrast to non-Defra stoves that can only be used within a Smoke Control Area when they are equipped with a special smoke control kit.

It is possible to install the Smoke Control Kit on a wood burning stove that is not exempt from DEFRA, but this is not recommended. You could expose your family to risk from inhaling toxic gases and toxins which can cause lung damage. The use of a non DEFRA exempt wood burning stove in a Smoke Control Area may result in massive fines.

It is crucial to keep in mind that all new stoves must be installed by registered HETAS installers to ensure they're installed safely and in compliance with current building regulations. A stove that is DEFRA approved and can be used in a Smoke Control Area helps to reduce your emissions which has helped in reducing the levels of sulphur dioxide in the air. From 2022, the EU-wide Ecodesign regulation will set minimum efficiencies, NOX and OGV ceilings and emissions limits which appear to be more strict than those currently required for Defra Exempt stoves.

Smokeless Fuels

There are a lot of things to consider when choosing the right stove for you that utilizes smokeless fuels. The stove must be approved by Defra List Stoves to be used in areas with smoke control. This means that the appliance has been subjected to rigourous tests to ensure that particulate emissions are reduced. There are also stoves that make use of smokeless fuels that burn cleaner than traditional coal. This means they are better for the environment, as well as your neighbors!

Briquettes are usually made from anthracite and are non-smokeless fuels. They are more eco-friendly and last 40% better than traditional coal. Smokeless fuels also generate more heat and emit less carbon dioxide than traditional coal.

They are more expensive, but have many advantages for you and your family. They are less difficult to ignite and won't produce more soot or Ash. The glass screen and the stove grates will need to be cleaned less often. They produce a dancing flame, and emit less smoke.

You should always be aware that if your house is located in a zone of smoke control, you can only use approved fuels or wood to heat your stove. If you choose to use non-approved fuels, you could be in violation of the law and could be subject to an expensive fine. If you use the wrong woodburner, one that isn't DEFRA approved energy-efficient stoves-approved, you may produce smoke that could cause a disturbance to your neighbors.

It is therefore vital to buy a DEFRA-exempt stove that permits you to burn smokeless materials in your home. All stoves in this category have been thoroughly tested to ensure that they are in compliance with DEFRA regulations, and don't emit noxious smoke. This is accomplished by making sure that they have the latest technology for combustion that prevents part-burned combustion products from being released into the air.

The Right to Rent

DEFRA stoves can be wood burning or multi-fuel stoves that are approved to be used in Smoke Control Areas. They have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they are efficient and clean combustion, with low emissions, and the best performance. They are available in a variety of different styles to match your home's style.

Defra approved stoves are also called SE Stoves in the industry, Smoke Exempt Stoves or Smoke Control Stoves that are approved for use in the Area. They are all referring to the same type of stove that has been tested and proved to be capable of meeting the strict requirements of UK laws that limit the amount of smoking to a predetermined time frame.

A Defra Approved stove can only be used to burn dry wood and approved smokeless fuels like anthracite oval or blue flame anthracite. The attempt to burn anything else could produce smoke that is noxious and can cause health problems for people with asthma or other breathing conditions. It is the responsibility of the installer as well as the customer to check that the appliance is suitable for their home by using the Defra calculator, making sure that all chimney components are in order, ensuring minimum distances to combustibles are maintained and that the size of the hearth is appropriate for the stove being installed.

Stoves that are installed incorrectly can cause leakage, damage and may void the warranty. The installation should be carried out by a certified HETAS engineer to ensure the stove is safe to use and is properly installed. The warranty does not cover consumables like glass seals made of glass rope on doors and windows paint finishes, interior lining plates, firebricks, and baffles. These parts are considered customer replaceable and can be purchased when needed. Damage caused to the stove by high moisture or salty air environments is not covered under the warranty.

A DEFRA stove will not only bring warmth to your home but will also give you peace of mind knowing you're helping to safeguard the environment. When you select a DEFRA approved wood burning or multi fuel stove, you can rest assured that you'll be able to enjoy your stove for years to come.
