Ecosy Hampton 6.4KW: What Makes This Stove Special

The Ecosy Hampton is a cracking bit of kit and perfect for what this Gower house needed. At 6.4KW, it’s got plenty of power but won’t overheat smaller rooms, and the technology inside really does make a difference to how efficiently it burns.

What we love about the Hampton is that big glass front – gives you a proper view of the flames and becomes a real feature in the room. It’s built to last too, with solid steel construction that’ll keep going for years.

The clever airwash system keeps the glass clean so you’re not constantly cleaning soot off it. The firebox will take logs up to 330mm long, which is handy because you’re not forever chopping wood down to size.

This stove easily beats the efficiency standards, so you’re getting great heat output without being hard on the environment. That’s exactly what made it right for this Wood Burning Stove Install in the Gower.

Getting the Flue Right: Installing the Ecosy 904 Grade Liner

The first job was sorting out the flue system because that’s what makes or breaks any stove installation. When we inspected the existing chimney pot, we could see it had developed some cracks – not something you want to leave as it’ll only get worse with weather and use.

So we fitted a new chimney pot to get everything solid and weatherproof again. The Ecosy 904 grade flexible liner went in next – this is really the heart of the whole system. We made sure it was properly secured to the pot hanger with a proper weatherproof seal, which is crucial in coastal areas like Gower where you get all sorts of weather.

Back inside the house, we cut the liner to exactly the right length for good draw and fitted the adaptor. The registry board needed measuring and cutting to fit perfectly under the chimney opening. It gives a nice clean finish that looks right in the room.

The Tricky Bit: Installing a Double-Sided Stove

This job had an extra challenge because the homeowners wanted a double-sided setup, which isn’t your typical installation. You need to think carefully about airflow and heat distribution while making sure everything stays safe and efficient. Our Wood Burning Stove installers Gower team have done these before, so we knew how to plan it properly.

The vitreous pipe connection needed to be spot on – we had to measure and cut it perfectly to fit between the liner adaptor and the stove. We assembled the Ecosy Hampton on site and positioned it just right in the hearth with all the proper clearances.

Connecting the vitreous pipe to the stove was the final piece of the puzzle. We used professional sealing materials to make sure everything’s airtight and working as it should.

Making Sure Everything’s Safe: Testing and Final Checks

Safety’s always our biggest concern, and this Swansea job was no different. We carried out a thorough smoke test on both the fire and flue to check the draw was working and make sure there weren’t any leaks anywhere in the system. This shows us that all the smoke and gases will go up the chimney where they should, not into the house.

We fitted a carbon monoxide alarm as required by building regulations – it’s an important backup that gives everyone peace of mind. The data plate went on too, so all the technical information and maintenance details are there for future reference.

Before we finished up, we showed the customers how to operate their new stove properly. There’s no point having a lovely new fire if you don’t know how to get the best out of it!

How It All Turned Out

The finished installation really transformed this Parkmill home – you’ve got this beautiful focal point that’s both practical and elegant. The 6.4KW output from the double-sided Ecosy Hampton is just right for what they needed to heat the space effectively.

Because it’s double-sided, the heat spreads nicely into different rooms, which is exactly what they were after. The customers were absolutely delighted with how everything turned out and said we were excellent to work with throughout.

What the Customers Said:

“Hopkins Log Burners were excellent from start to finish. Really professional team who knew exactly what they were doing, and they left the place spotless when they were done. We absolutely love our new Ecosy Hampton and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
