Ecodesign wood burning stoves

The latest Ecodesign wood burning stoves are kind the to the environment

If you have been thinking about investing in a new wood burning stove but are concerned about the issue of pollution, this article attempts to set the record straight.

There is scientific proof that wood burning stoves ten years old or more, and open fireplaces can significantly damage air quality, especially in urban areas where other pollutants are found.  However, the EU has developed a new Europe wide emissions regulation scheme which is applicable for many household appliances including stoves.  Our industry has obviously been aware of the forthcoming legislation for many years which means that many of our wood burning stoves meet the new standard already, well ahead of the 2022 EU deadline.

As a result, using a modern, clean burning, Ecodesign stove can reduce emissions by up to 90%.  This means that in order to reduce air pollution, providing you buy one of the new stoves your conscious is clear. So, households who replace an older stove with a new one will reduce particulate emissions by 80% and households who replace their open fire for a new stove can make a reduction of up to 90%.

Use of the new Ecodesign stove can also lead to significant reductions in CO, NOx and Organic Gaseous Carbon compounds (OGC).

And of course, let’s not forget that stoves use wood, a renewable and sustainable energy source which can lead to cheaper heating bills and so reduce your household’s overall carbon footprint over time.
