How “green” is your woodburning stove?

Very, I here you cry, we’re using a renewable fuel comes another cry, did you order it from the internet?

Why yes, of course, is the response.

How many tens if not hundreds of miles did a HGV have to travel to deliver your stove?

How many shops did you trawl round, buring fossil fuels to look at stoves, before buying it online?

How far did your installer travel before getting to you? Next street? No? Next village? No? Next COUNTY? No?

So, I ask you again, how green is your woodburning stove?

Think green. Think local. Support local businesses and the environment.

HETAS Registered

What does it mean when we say we are HETAS installers? This is what HETAS themselves say:

Registering with HETAS provides real benefits for installers and their customers.

Registering with HETAS demonstrates to your customers that you are competent and provides them with tangible benefits and peace of mind.


As a HETAS registered installer you provide your customers with a certificate at the end of each job indication that the work has been carried out to the relevant standards.


In England & Wales a HETAS certificate of compliance is given to your customer and a copy sent to HETAS, we then undertake the notification process to the relevant Local Authority.This provides evidence of the necessary certification, avoiding the need for your customer to seek expensive and time-consuming building notices from the Local Authority, saving up to £300 on each-and-every installation.

For this legal requirement, HETAS registered installers can charge a reasonable fee for certification to the consumer, in order to cover the administration charges; whilst saving your customers a considerable additional Local Authority building notice fee.


Installation work relating to heating appliances burning solid fuel, wood biomass and the associated systems for heating, controls, hot water etc are subject to the requirements of Building Regulations. In England & Wales the Approved Documents J, L, G, P are applicable and most work is notifiable by law to the Local Authority where you live. In other parts of UK there are variations in legislation and processes.

Please remember that details of installations carried out by installers may be required by conveyancing organisations and Solicitors as part of the house selling process and may in future be made available for the proposed Home Information Pack.

Non-registered installers cannot self-certificate so may be putting themselves and their customers at a commercial disadvantage.

The HETAS website and official guide to products and services actively promotes the use of HETAS registered installers and approved products. For a full list of current HETAS registered installers go to the find an installer pages. HETAS registered installers are encouraged to use HETAS approved appliances and products to ensure that they comply with Building Regulations and standards of safe installation.
