Today's certified wood heaters are a world away from older models. They produce up to 75% less particulate emissions and extract more heat from every log when compared to heaters 10 or more years ago.

Thinking of getting a new heater? You can look your model up here to ensure it meets today's standards:

All wood heaters sold in Australia must be tested to Australian standards with an emission limit of 1.5 g/kg or less and a heating efficiency of 60% or greater. Certificates of compliance can be downloaded from the list of certified wood heaters in the table below.

With the weather cooling down, now is the perfect time to get your chimney cleaned.

Hot tip: don’t light your fire the night before getting us to come sweep and inspect it.

We’ve done a couple sweeps on heaters that were used the night before and let’s just say I’m very grateful we always wear gloves when cleaning them 🔥🙏🧹🏠
