Woodburning and Multifuel Stoves — Eco Design 2022

Woodburning and multifuel stoves deliver efficient, reliable heat while adding warmth and character to your home. Using sustainably sourced wood provides a renewable, cost-effective fuel that reduces dependence on mains energy and supports local suppliers. Modern stove designs maximise heat output and minimise waste, offering both practical performance and an attractive focal point for any interior.

What is an Eco Design Stove and why should I buy one?

Eco design is a European initiative to cut emissions; the standard for stoves came into force in the UK in 2022. Eco Design stoves meet stricter particulate and emissions limits, improving air quality and reducing pollution from domestic burning. Compared with open fires and older stoves, Eco Design models deliver substantially lower particulate emissions and far better combustion efficiency.

Why choose an Eco Design Stove

• Cleaner burning — Designed to produce far lower particulate emissions than older stoves or open fires.
• Higher efficiency — Extract more heat from each log or fuel, lowering running costs.
• Future-proof — Compliant with current regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of obsolescence.
• Environmental benefit — When fuelled with sustainably sourced, dry wood, wood burning can be a low-carbon heating option.
• Versatility — Multifuel models accept a range of solid fuels for flexibility and convenience.
• Better indoors — Reduced smoke and soot lead to a cleaner, more pleasant living environment.

Responsible use and tips
• Burn only dry, seasoned wood or approved ready-to-burn logs.
• Follow manufacturer guidance for correct loading, air settings, and maintenance.
• Use a DEFRA-exempt Ecodesign-ready model where required in smoke control areas.
• Source wood locally where possible to support local businesses and reduce transport emissions.
• Arrange regular servicing and chimney sweeping to maintain safety and performance.
