The Importance of Servicing Your Stove & Equipment

If you have a wood burner, multi-fuel stove, or biomass pellet stove in your home, it is important to have it serviced annually by a qualified professional.
This will help to ensure that your appliance is operating safely and efficiently, and that it is not emitting harmful pollutants into the air.
There are a number of risks associated with not having your fuel burning equipment serviced regularly. These include:
- Increased Fire Hazard: Lack of cleaning can lead to the accumulation of creosote and soot in the chimney, greatly increasing the risk of dangerous and costly chimney fires.
- Reduced Efficiency: Without regular sweeping and maintenance, stoves burn less efficiently, wasting fuel and emitting more smoke and particulates per burn.
- Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly. Build-up in the flue can lead to incomplete combustion and increased carbon monoxide output, posing a severe health risk.
- Shortened Lifespan: Regular servicing helps identify wear and tear, allowing preventative repairs to maximise the safe working lifespan of the stove.
- Poor Indoor/Outdoor Air Quality: An unmaintained stove emits far higher levels of particulates and smoke, degrading indoor air quality and even neighborhood air quality.
- Increased Long-Term Costs: Ignoring minor maintenance issues leads to more serious problems needing expensive repairs down the road.
- Insurance/Regulation Issues: Lack of documented maintenance may violate insurance policies or local regulations requiring chimney/stove servicing.
- Flue/Chimney Damage: Build-up of creosote and condensation can accelerate corrosion and deterioration of vital flue linings and chimney materials.
