Morleys Stoves offer a full HETAS compliant annual stove service available at £65
Maintaining your stove in its best possible working condition is essential. Each year, you should get your stove swept and serviced. Ideally, you should service your fire after the heating season. That way, if you need any specialist replacement parts, they will have arrived in good time, ready to light your fire up again in the next burning season. The Autumn/ Winter season is an installers busiest time of the year so its best to avoid those months and plan ahead.
If you have moved in to a property with a pre-existing wood burning stove, then get it checked over and serviced before you light it.
Many stoves were fitted before the strict HETAS guidelines became law and there are a lot of historic installations that quite frankly are unsafe to use.
Servicing your stove regularly is advised by all manufacturers of the stoves themselves, and by HETAS, the official governing body of solid fuel installations.
Regular burning of your fire over time causes pipe seals to move - due to expansion and contraction, and parts wear.
As your seals compress and lose their elasticity, they allow air to get in where it shouldn`t. This causes the stove to over-fire, which means it is burning at an increased rate. Over-firing damages the life span of the internal components. It also reduces fuel efficiency. As the seal is not gas-tight, fumes can escape from the fire into your living space. This is a dangerous situation and can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
By servicing your fire each year, you will keep your stove running efficiently whilst having the peace of mind that it is safe to use.
