Wood Burning Stoves Here To Stay
We are still supporting the ongoing efforts to tackle the misinformation around wood burning stoves.
Following the success of the "Myth Busted" campaign, the new “Here to Stay” campaign aims to reassure customers with credible, up-to-date messaging,
The highlights of the campaign include:
- The UK Government have confirmed that wood-burning stoves are not being banned
- They are approved as a secondary heat source under the Future Homes Standard
- The government recognises that when used correctly, modern stoves with dry wood produce low emissions
- Ecodesign Stoves Are Clean & Efficient, with up to 90% fewer particulates than open fires
- Up to 80% fewer emissions than older stoves
- Lower fuel costs, better performance.
- Wood is a renewable, local, low-carbon energy source
- Supports rural jobs and woodland management
- Keeps homes warm and independent during power cuts
