Stove Project Overview

Hot Box ® Stoves were engaged to carry out the installation of the Hobbit SE which was recommended during our home survey.

The Hobbit SE has an output of 4kW and is approved by DEFRA to burn wood in a smoke-controlled zone.

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

Stove Installation

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

Firstly, our teams provided temporary protection to our client’s home, standard practice at Hot Box.

Thereafter, the existing fireplace was removed.

As part of our work to install the wood burner a new stainless steel flexible flue liner was installed to match the diameter of the connecting flue pipe from the specified stove.

The customer’s new 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.

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 a 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 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.
