Stove Project Overview

Hot Box ® Stoves were engaged to carry out the installation of a Parkray Aspect 5 which was recommended during our home survey.

STOVE

The Parkray Aspect 5 multi-fuel stove is a versatile and efficient heating solution that combines aesthetic appeal with exceptional performance. With a nominal output of 5kW, this stove is capable of generating a comfortable level of heat suitable for small to medium-sized rooms.

The heat output range of 4-7kW provides flexibility, allowing you to adjust the intensity of the heat based on your specific heating needs. Whether you desire a cosy atmosphere on a chilly evening or a more substantial heat output during colder winter months, the Parkray Aspect 5 can accommodate your preferences.

Featuring an impressive efficiency rating of 80%, this stove effectively utilizes the fuel source to generate heat, minimizing waste and maximizing energy efficiency. This efficiency rating means that a significant proportion of the energy produced by the stove is converted into usable heat, resulting in reduced energy consumption and lower fuel costs.

Additionally, the Parkray Aspect 5 multi-fuel stove has been classified as an energy efficiency class A appliance. This designation signifies that it meets the highest standards of energy efficiency, further highlighting its ability to provide effective heat output while consuming minimal energy.

In terms of design, the Parkray Aspect 5 features a sleek and contemporary appearance, complemented by clean lines and robust build quality. It is designed to effortlessly blend into various interior styles, making it a versatile addition to any home.

Further, the appliance is classified as Eco Design Ready and complies with standards documented by Chapter 6 of The Clean Air Act 2019.

INSTALLATION

The stove Installation was carried out in accordance with HETAS Guidelines and Document J of Building Regulations.

To begin with, temporary protection was placed in all areas where work was carried out and our installers began creating a fireplace opening to approximately 900mm x 900mm.

Following that, a fireboard was installed to the back and sides of the newly created recess.

Once recess works were completed, our engineers installed a slate hearth and a Geocast beam above the recess.

Next, the old gas liner was removed and the chimney was swept and lined with a Schiedel 904-grade twin skin flue liner (suitable for multi-fuel stoves).

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.

The chimney flue installation was completed with a pot hanging cowl.

Further, mandatory to all stove installations, a new Carbon Monoxide alarm was installed along with a data plate detailing the work undertaken by our teams of HETAS-registered stove fitters.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING 

As part of each stove installation carried out by Hot Box, every appliance is tested and commissioned to ensure it operates correctly.

The process involves lighting a small fire to check connections and the adequacy of the draw. To ensure consistency, we use the Firestarter, the most convenient way to light a wood burner.

Usually, the process of lighting the stove for the first time is demonstrated to our clients to ensure they understand the relevant air controls and mechanisms on their woodburner.
