Whether you’re preparing your heater for the winter season or have noticed a problem during regular use, we can discuss your needs and help identify the appropriate next step.
Prepare Your Wood Heater for the Colder Months
Wood heaters can experience wear over time, particularly when used regularly throughout winter. Routine checks can help identify issues before you rely on your heater every day.
Depending on the equipment and work required, relevant maintenance may include:
- Inspecting the heater for visible damage.
- Checking the condition of door seals and firebox components.
- Investigating poor draft and smoke spillage.
- Identifying cracked glass or damaged parts.
- Assessing signs of restricted flue operation.
- Determining whether cleaning, servicing or specialist repairs are required.
The condition of the flue is particularly important because it provides a path for smoke and combustion gases to leave the home.
Why Is My Wood Fire Not Working Properly?
There are several possible reasons a wood heater might not perform as expected.
Smoke entering the room
Smoke spillage can be caused by a range of issues, including a restricted flue, poor draft or incorrect operation. Persistent smoke indoors should not be ignored.
Difficulty lighting or maintaining a fire
Damp firewood, inadequate airflow or other operating problems can make it difficult to maintain a fire.
A door that doesn’t seal properly
Worn seals or damaged door components may affect airflow through the heater and should be assessed.
Unusual smells or visible damage
If you notice unusual combustion smells, damaged components or signs of overheating, stop using the heater until it has been appropriately assessed.
