Stove Project Overview

Hot Box Stoves was asked to do a survey at a property with an old boiler stove. Our customers wanted to have the old appliance removed and a new wood-burning stove installed. They wanted an efficient heating solution that combines style, performance, and convenience in a compact package. Taking into account the size of the room and our customers’ requirements, our project manager suggested Parkray Aspect 5 Compact.

The Parkray Aspect 5 Compact Stove is a highly efficient and stylish wood-burning stove that delivers a nominal output of 5kW, with a heat output range of 4-6kW. With an impressive efficiency rating of 80%, it can effectively heat small to medium-sized rooms while keeping your energy bills low. The compact design of this stove, with a depth 45mm smaller than the standard Aspect 5, makes it an ideal choice for smaller spaces. The stove features a large viewing window that provides an excellent view of the flames, and it is equipped with clean-burn technology, which ensures that the emissions are minimized and the efficiency is maximized. Additionally, it comes with a range of convenient features, such as a single air control for easy operation and a cool-touch handle for safe handling.

INSTALLATION

To begin with, temporary protection was placed in all areas where work was to be carried out and a gas-safe engineer was instructed to cut/cap off the gas to the recess.

The old appliance was removed and the chimney was swept. Once all debris was removed from the site, the chimney was lined with a Schiedel 316-grade twin skin flue liner. The stove was placed into a position and a galvanised steel plate was fixed to the underside of the recess and sealed between the closure plate and chimney with high-temperature sealant. The stove was connected with the liner using twin wall chimney components as well as a stove pipe. The chimney flue was completed with the installation of a pot hanging cowl.

Once all debris was disposed of and the area where the stove was installed was cleaned, our HETAS registered engineers performed a smoke test using the one and only Firestarter. The smoke test ensures that there is an adequate degree of draw and that all connections are sealed. Finally, in accordance with building regulations, a CO/ Carbon Monoxide Alarm and a chimney notice plate were installed.
