Considering that there are many different types of fireplace systems available, each with an array of models to choose from, we thought we’d help you with a few factors to consider before installing a wood heater in your Melbourne home.

Which type of wood heater is the perfect fit for you?

Relevant questions to ask yourself here include: what are your needs in terms of home heating? Do you prefer a fireplace that offers the look and feel of a fire? What additional requirements are there? Is there adequate ventilation available? Some models may require an existing fireplace insert.

Is the wood heater certified?

Installing a wood heater in your home requires compliance with the Australian Standards AS/NZS 4012 and 4013. Certification ensures that your fireplace system has been specially designed for Australian homes and the use of Australian-sourced fire wood.

Proper professional wood heater installation

Wood heater installation requires the attention of a professional installer. Not only would this provide you with peace of mind that your unit is correctly installed but a professional installer is well aware of the requirements of the Australian Standard AS/NZS 2918 that have to be adhered to. Your insurance company will also need to be notified if this is your first installation.
