What is a Defra Approved Wood Burning Stove?
If you live in a zone of smoke control it is essential to purchase a DEFRA exempt stove. A DEFRA exempt (or SE) stove allows you to burn wood legally in a smoke-controlled space.
The stoves are independently tested to ensure the lowest emissions possible. Stoves with this certification typically carry the word 'Defra approved' in their name or on their specifications.
Approved for Smoke Controlled Areas
Many people believe that living in a smoke control area means they can't make use of a fireplace that burns wood. This isn't the case. In reality, many cities and large towns are in a smoke-free zone, but this doesn't mean you can't have an oven, it simply implies that you have to make use of an exempt appliance and only use authorised fuels (usually Briquettes) in your stove. The Defra approved stove is a kind of wood burning stove that has been tested to ensure it meets certain requirements regarding the emissions it emits when burning fuels that are approved and therefore it can be used legally in smoke control Area.
The Defra logo is widely used in the industry and many of the stoves that are approved have SE after their names, meaning they are smoke exempt. To be able to be SE approved it must meet strict criteria with regards to emissions So you can be assured that if you choose a defra exempt stove you are getting the cleanest and best burning wood stove available.
If you search for a wood burning stove that is Defra exempt or has SE after its name, you'll often discover that the manufacturer has done things like making sure there enough air inlets on the front of the stove to permit full combustion of the fuel, and that the chimney outlet size is sufficient to prevent the build-up of soot. This is important as it helps to ensure that the smoke from the stove does not escape through the chimney and into your home.
Another benefit of the Defra approved stove is that it generally allows you to fit it with five" chimney liner, which will comply with UK building regulations, whilst stoves that aren't Defra-approved will have to be fitted with a bigger 6" liner.
At Stovax we are pleased to offer a selection of Defra approved stoves and fires, as well as our Ecodesign Ready stoves that have been developed with future air quality standards in mind. In fact, many of our Defra approved stoves are also able to be used with a smoke control kit for properties located in a Smoke Control Area and so can be used with a variety of approved smokeless fuels, including fire logs.
Approved for Smokeless fuels
The only stove that can be put in within a smoke-control zone is a DEFRA approved wood burner, which is also known as DEFRA exempt. The stove has to be used with solid fuel, that is wood, preferably well-seasoned. The government tests them to ensure they don't release excessive smoke and can only be used with approved fuels.
The difference between a DEFRA-approved kitchen and recommended DEFRA stoves one that is not approved is usually quite small. With a kit provided by the manufacturer, many modern stoves can be converted to DEFRA compliant in only a few minutes. This is due to the fact that Defra approved appliances must pass very strict tests and are limited in the amount of smoke they are able to produce.
To ensure that these restrictions are maintained during testing the stove needs to be able to limit its combustion air supply so that it does not starve itself of oxygen, which can cause it to smoulder. This is accomplished through a mechanism that opens the air in the firebox when it is burning. It is usually hidden in the stove or under the base of the firebox.
Stove World UK offers a wide range of DEFRA approved stoves from some of the top manufacturers in the country such as Stovax, Arada and Burley. These are available in a huge variety of styles and finishes. You can also choose from a wide variety of Ecodesign ready stoves that are designed to meet future air quality requirements.
Smoke Control Areas are usually located around large cities and towns and you can visit your local authority's website to determine if the area you live in is classified as one. It is essential to buy an approved DEFRA stove if you reside in a smoke-controlled zone. This will allow you to avoid being fined by the local authority. This is because if you burn unauthorised fuel in an unapproved stove, like coal or other solid fuels and you are fined up to PS300.
Approved for wood
A DEFRA approved stove, also known as a smoke exempt wood stove is an appliance which can be used to burn wood in a Smoke Control Area. The stove will be stamped with the Defra approved logo or the word "SE" after its name, which means it is able to be used in smoke controlled areas when burning approved fuels that is, in this instance, wood.
Many older wood stoves emit large amounts of particulate matter, which can lead to or worsen asthma attacks, respiratory problems and heart problems. This is why it's essential to buy an updated wood stove that meets the strict emission standards established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Look for an "EPA 2020 Certified" label, which means that the stove has met the emission limits that are now in place.
If you buy a stove that is not EPA-certified, and you reside in a smoke-free area it is necessary to renew the certification before you can use the stove. This can be expensive and time consuming, but it is legally required. Homeowners who sell a home with wood stoves that are not certified may be subject to tax credits or fines related to clean air.
Most modern stoves can be altered to be Defra approved using a kit or an adjustment that the installer offers. The primary difference between DEFRA approved stoves and those that aren't combustion air control system that controls the amount of air that passes through the stove when it is operating normally. Modifications are usually done to the base or the underside of a stove's firebox.
Certain manufacturers make two types of wood stove. One is Defra-approved and the other that isn't. This is due to the process of running a stove through the strict Defra tests is very expensive in order to recover some of this expense they will sell the non-approved version at a lower price. The DEFRA-approved version will have been through the modification to the combustion air in the course of the test process.
Gas Approved
Prior to the Clean Air Acts, residential homes were able to burn any fuel they wanted, which resulted in high levels of smoke emissions. This caused health problems. To stop this, Defra created Smoke Control Areas which meant that homes in residential areas couldn't emit any smoke from their wood burners or multifuel stoves unless the appliance was Defra approved for burning only approved fuels like manufactured smokeless coals and anthracite.
Defra approved SE (Smoke-Exempt) Stoves have been put through rigorous testing in order to demonstrate that they can efficiently burn fuels that are approved within a Smoke Control Zone. They achieve this by utilising the latest technology for combustion that continuously delivers a minimum amount of secondary air to the firebox, so that even when the stove is being used with approved fuels like anthracite or manufactured smokeless coals it will still be able to meet Defra's regulations for Smoke Control Areas.
