Energy labelling regulations for fires and stoves
The new Energy Labelling Regulations for fires and stoves will come into force on the 1st January 2018.
In the UK and across Europe, The Energy Labelling directive has been introduced to help consumers make more of an informed choice about gas, electric and solid fuel appliance efficiency.
Energy labels can already be found on domestic appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines. Such energy labels have been in use for a number of years, and are designed to help reduce the carbon footprint of a household, and to save money. More efficient appliances use less energy, which is great for the environment, and also for household finances.
In April 2017 the Energy Labelling directive was implemented on independent boiler appliances, and in January 2018, room heater stove appliances will be required to comply with the new legislation.
All wood burning stoves will likely be categorised as an “A rating” due to the renewable and zero carbon features.
Our website will soon show these labels against each appliance, this will enable you to see at a glance which fire or stove might be the best for your home.
