Wood Burner Installation, Concents and Decommissioning
Kiwis love our woodburners. With an abundance of timber as a natural resource, the unbeatable heating capacity, and the magnificent ambience its no reason why woodburners have been and still are a staple of most kiwi homes. In terms of energy efficiency, if you’re lucky enough to access free firewood, woodburners are undoubtedly the most cost-effective heating solution for you.
There are other key features with woodburners such as hot water heating via a wetback system, using the appliance as a radiant cooktop, and having access to heat without the need for electricity.
Things have certainly changed in the world of woodburners as many regions across New Zealand strive for achieving cleaner air quality. Installation standards are getting more stringent and some airsheds have bylaws in place banning the installation and/or operation of certain types of woodburners.
