Domestic indoor wood burning emissions significantly lower than previously thought

(Washington, Tyne and Wear, 06. March 2022) Commenting on the latest data Andy Hill, chair of the Stove Industry Alliance, said: “We welcome the revisions to the government’s statistics on PM2.5 from domestic combustion sources that have been announced. The SIA has long maintained that the volume of wood fuel used to calculate the previous figure had been significantly overestimated, and this has now been officially acknowledged.”

Updating old stoves to new Ecodesign stoves, such as our Sirius and Celsius models, both which are clearSkies certified appliance, means that these stoves have a massive reduction in emissions levels that can be achieved

A professionally installed, regularly serviced modern Ecodesign stove used with correctly seasoned wood fuel is a very low carbon, low emission, sustainable and cost-effective way to heat our homes.

Added with the shocking rise in gas and energy prices means that having a stove installed pays back the cost within a matter of months.
