Why it’s time to replace your open fire with a log burning stove.

1. Way More Heat, Way Less Waste

Open fires look lovely but are shockingly inefficient—up to 80% of the heat they produce goes straight up the chimney. In contrast, an Eco Design stove is built to retain and radiate heat into your room, with efficiency ratings often above 80%. That means more warmth, less fuel, and a cosier home.

2. Cleaner for You, and the Planet

Eco Design Ready stoves meet strict emissions standards set by the government’s 2022 Eco Design regulations. They’re designed to burn wood more cleanly and completely, reducing harmful particulates by up to 90% compared to an open fire. Cleaner air in your home, and cleaner air outside—it’s a win-win.

3. Lower Your Fuel Bills

Because they’re so efficient, Eco Design stoves make much better use of your wood. You’ll burn less fuel to achieve the same—if not better—levels of heat. Over time, this adds up to serious savings, especially if you rely on your stove as a main source of heating.

4. No More Drafty Chimneys

Open fires can actually make your home colder by pulling warm air up the chimney. A properly installed stove seals the deal—literally. You get the benefit of controlled heat without the constant drafts and loss of warmth that an open fireplace creates.

5. They Still Look the Part

Eco Design stoves come in a wide range of beautiful styles—from sleek and modern to classic and traditional—so you won’t lose that cosy, fire-lit charm. In fact, many people find a well-designed stove becomes a real feature piece in their home.

6. Future-Proof Your Heating

With increasing regulations around air quality and wood-burning, swapping to an Eco Design stove now helps you stay ahead of the curve. It’s a long-term investment in a cleaner, more sustainable way of living – without sacrificing comfort or character.
