The Eco-design Regulations set new minimum seasonal efficiency and maximum emission requirements for solid fuel burning stoves, stoves with boilers and cooker appliances supporting the governments clean air strategy. Only those appliances that have been tested and verified as meeting these new limits will be able to be sold. The emission limits include those for Particulate Matter (PM), Organic Gaseous Compounds (OGC), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).

After 1st January 2022, all solid fuel burning appliances were required to have been independently tested to show that they meet the seasonal efficiency and four emission limit provisions as laid down within the Eco-design regulations, this will include a dramatic reduction in the CO minimum emission limit stipulated. SIA Eco-design Ready stoves are designed to reduce PM emissions by burning wood more efficiently and completely.

The stoves have been independently tested by an approved test laboratory and met the emissions and minimum efficiency criteria for Eco-design. The test results have also been verified by HETAS and listed on the HETAS web site. Click on the Eco-design logo to see verified list of SIA Eco-design Ready stoves on the Hetas web site.

Eco-design is the European-wide programme to lower emissions. It is due to come into force for stoves in the UK in 2022. SIA Eco-design Ready stoves will meet the Eco-design requirements and are available now. The PM emissions limit for Eco-design is 55% lower than for DEFRA exempt stoves.

By purchasing an eco-design stove you are helping towards a greener planet! So, you can sit back and enjoy the fire, knowing that you are doing your bit for the environment.

Your Fireplace Journey starts here………
When it comes to choosing a new fire for your home it may not be as straight forward as installing the one you like. Ahead of picking the style, it is important that you first determine the type of fireplace that will be suitable for your property. Essentially this comes down to the type of chimney and flue your home has as choosing a fireplace is not a one size fits all approach. The style and size of a chimney can really influence the type of fireplace you will end up with, so it is an important first step to know what you are dealing with before making any decisions If a property does not have a chimney, it does not necessarily mean that having a fireplace is not an option. While an electric fire is always an option as they do not require a chimney there are other options such as a new external twin wall flue system or a Flueless Gas fire
The next steps………
Before we can book you in for a survey we require a few things from you first, and the more information you can provide will allow our team to make an accurate assessment & estimate Please can we ask you to email surveys@westcountryfires.co.uk with the following information and images;

3. Photos of the room in which your fire place sits, giving us an idea of the room profile, the area you are looking to heat and the space available for the fire place perspective.
4. If applicable, and accessible, a photo of the bottom of your chimney from inside the chamber facing upwards.
5. Photos of your chimney from outside your home, helping us to gauge the access and the equipment that will be required. Please include a shot of the chimney pot and chimney stack where applicable.
6. Dimensions of your chamber and approximate dimensions of your room.
7. Location of gas meter or Gas point (where applicable)
8. And Finally a brief outline of your desired end goal

Our driver will contact you when he is on his way but we are unable to give you an allocated delivery time due to changing delivery routes and unforeseen traffic events. We always try to advise if your delivery will be an AM or PM delivery. The driver will remove your fire or stove from the van using suitable lifting equipment, they will then use a sack truck to deliver it safely to your front door or into a garage or into your back garden, providing there is no gravel or unfinished driveway, narrow openings, or steps. If there are access issues, your delivery will be a kerbside delivery. Due to the weight of the fires and stoves we sell, the drivers are unable to assist you with carrying the fire or stove and they are not insured to enter your property. White glove deliveries can be arranged for fires and stoves under a certain weight, and these will incur an additional charge depending on the area and type of property you live in. Upon delivery, please check you have received the correct fire or stove, and that the outside packaging is undamaged (large holes, badly crumpled packaging etc).

The Benefits of an electric Fire:
Electric fires are ideal for people wanting their fire to be the focal point of their room, and to enjoy the cosy flames all year round. Electric fires and stoves are perfect for adding a little bit of warmth to a room without having to turn on the central heating for the whole home. Electric fires are a fantastic alternative to traditional wood burners and gas fires, they are easy to set up once purchased, cheap to run, and simple to operate, with many offering manual control, remote control and app control. They do not require maintenance, and come in many variations to suit all requirements. Electric fires utilise LED lighting onto a screen to create a realistic flame effect, and the majority include a fan heater, with a maximum heat output of 2kW, which will distribute hot air into the room. Several come with a thermostatic remote control as standard, allowing you to control the temperature of the room at the touch of a button. Many of the latest electric fires come with the option of real wood logs, which are resin coated, giving the fires the most realistic fuel bed possible. They come with a standard 13-amp plug, and for may it is as simple as plugging them in and they are ready to use. There are several variations of electric fires, ranging from linear media wall fires, electric stoves, wall hung and inset electric fires, and all these variations can be found on our website, but if you are still unsure of what will work best for your home, then do not hesitate to call our friendly sales team who will be happy to help. The most important factors to consider when choosing an electric fire are the size and shape of your room, if the fire needs to fit in an existing opening, the budget you have available, and the overall aesthetic you are trying to achieve. The benefits of choosing electric over solid fuel or gas are ease of use, lack of mess, cheap running costs, they are efficient, and they do not create any emissions. With an electric fire there is no expensive initial installation cost, they can be placed almost anywhere as there are no clearances, and they are no danger to children and animals, as the glass and body of the fire do not get hot.

The Benefits of a Gas Fire:
Gas fires are a great way of adding an additional heating source to your home. To choose a gas fire you will need to identify the type of chimney you have, to establish the type of gas fire you are able to have (Please see our installation guide for full details). Gas fires are a very convenient and authentic option, producing a real flame that can be controlled manually, with slide control or remote control. We only supply gas fires and stoves from the most reputable manufacturers, designed using the latest technology, in a range of styles. You can choose from conventional flue or balanced flue fires, natural gas or LPG, inset gas fires, wall hung gas fires, gas stoves, open fronted or glass fronted, and even flueless options. To ensure you choose the right heat output for the room size you are installing your fire in, you can calculate your requirement using our heat checker. If you purchase a fire with a heat output that is too high for your room, you will need to run the fire on a low temperature which can be inefficient. When considering if you would like a glass fronted or open fronted gas fire, it is worth remembering that although open fronted fires are often cheaper, they are less efficient and a great deal of your heat is lost up the chimney. With glass fronted fires you have the increased efficiency along with radiation heat which comes through the glass front. When choosing a gas fire, it is worth thinking long-term, slide control and remote control are much easier for controlling your fire than having to bend down to manually control it, particularly for those with limited mobility. Several gas fires and stoves come with fuel bed options, allowing you to choose between coals or logs, and all gas fires should be marked as UKCA assessed. The main benefits of choosing a gas fire over an electric fire are the powerful heat output, the realistic flame effect, they are cheap to run, easy to control and once they have been installed, you can enjoy the heat without the mess of a traditional wood burner.

The Benefits of a solid fuel stove:
With the increase in price of energy bills, many people are considering switching to solid fuel as a more cost-effective way of heating the home. All newly manufactured stoves must comply with Ecodesign efficiency and emissions regulations, ensuring they are designed with high thermal efficiency, minimising the loss of heat energy during combustion. All stoves will be given an energy rating between A++ - G. When considering solid fuel stoves, it is important to find out if you reside in a smoke-controlled area, as you will be required to choose a DEFRA exempt stove, which have been tested to demonstrate particularly clean burning combustion. Size really does matter when choosing your stove. Use our heat output calculator to find out what is required for your room to ensure you are making the right choice. To ensure your stove provides optimum heating performance, only dry seasoned wood, with a moisture content of 20% or lower, should be burned, and you should have your chimney swept, and your stove “serviced” once to twice a year by a qualified chimney sweep. New installations must comply with either the manufacturer guidelines or building regulations, regarding the flue run, hearth, and distance to combustibles and non-combustible materials, and you need to bear in mind that the stove itself will get incredibly hot, making them hazardous for children and some pets. If you love the smell of a real fire, along with the cosy feel on those cold winter nights, there is no comparison to a solid fuel stove.
