When you receive your HETAS certificate you should ensure that it is kept in a safe place as the certificate itself is an important document that will be required by solicitors should you choose to sell your home in the future.
Why should I use a HETAS approved stove?
By choosing a stove that is approved by HETAS you can rest assured that the appliance will conform to the current UK building regulations, for both the installation and the use. When you choose a HETAS approved appliance you will hold all the relevant information for using the appliance, along with a guide to solid fueld products and services that will meet your individual needs and requirements. Choosing an approved stove will also help when it comes to the installation, as the installer will have less work to do when it comes to ensuring that the product meets the legal requirements.
Can any property have a stove installed?
Yes, within reason. If a property does not have an existing chimney, you may find that a chimney system is installed rather than building a new masonry chimney. A chimney system may have to run within the property or externally as long as it is safe to do so. If you aren’t sure what you need to have a stove installed at your property get in touch with Summerfield Fires who will be more than happy to take a look at and let you know exactly what is required.
