While gas has become the in thing in recent years, advancements to clean burning technology for wood fireplaces means they can often be more efficient than a heat pump. In fact, some units can put out the equivalent of 16-18 Kilowatts – that’s more than two large heat pumps!
Regulations around wood-burning fireplaces can be strict and there is a process to follow before installing that wood fire. An application for building consent will need to be lodged with the local council – for this you will require the following:
Consent costs sit at $350 for Hamilton City Council and $365 Waikato District Council (both are GST-inclusive) and can take around 20 days to process.
With the weather packing it in, there’s never been a better time to get the heating sorted in your home this winter. Wood fires are no longer the smokey old polluters they used to be and shouldn’t be ruled out for an efficient and rewarding way to keep the family warm.
