What's the difference between a wood burning stove and a multi-fuel stove?

A wood burning stove is designed to burn wood only, while a multi-fuel stove is designed to burn a range of different fuels, including wood, coal, and peat.

Which is better, a wood burning stove or a multi-fuel stove?

It depends on your individual needs and preferences. If you plan on burning only wood, a wood burning stove may be a better option. If you want the flexibility to burn different types of fuel, a multi-fuel stove may be a better choice. To find out more for your specific needs call Welsh Valley Stoves for professional advice.

How much does it cost to install a wood burning or multi-fuel stove?

The cost of installation can vary depending on factors such as the type of stove, the complexity of the installation, and the location. On average, homeowners can expect to pay around £1,500 to £2,500 for a professional installation. However, Welsh Valley Stoves work hard to give the best package deals available for each and every bespoke installation they provide. This typically puts them ahead of the competition for both quality and savings.

What size stove do I need for my home?

The size of stove you need will depend on the size of your room and the level of heat you require. A qualified installer will be able to help you choose the right size stove for your home.

Do I need a chimney to install a wood burning or multi-fuel stove?

Yes, a chimney or some kind of certified flue system is required for the installation of a wood burning or multi-fuel stove in your home. If you don't already have a chimney or a certified flue-system, you may need to have one installed. Speak to an expert at Welsh Valley Stoves who can advise you on the various options available to you even if you do not have a chimney in your home.

Do I need planning permission to install a stove?

In most cases, you don't need planning permission to install a stove as long as the installation meets certain requirements. Welsh Valley Stoves are qualified Hetas Engineers and can advise you on what will be best for your own personal circumstances free of charge.

What type of fuel should I use in my stove?

The type of fuel you use will depend on the type of stove you have. For wood burning stoves, seasoned hardwood is usually the best choice. For multi-fuel stoves, you can use a range of different fuels including wood, coal, and peat.

How often do I need to clean my stove?

You should clean your stove regularly to keep it functioning properly. This may include removing ashes and soot, cleaning the glass door, and inspecting the stovepipe for blockages. How often you need to clean your stove will depend on how frequently you use it.

Is it safe to leave a stove burning overnight?

It's generally not recommended to leave a stove burning overnight. Instead, you should let the fire burn out completely before going to bed.

Do I need to have my stove serviced regularly?

Yes, it's recommended to have your stove serviced regularly by a qualified professional to ensure it's functioning safely and efficiently. How often you should have your stove serviced will depend on how frequently you use it.
