Woodfires
For atmosphere, economy and warmth – you can’t beat a wood fire! Experience the comfort and efficiency of a quality wood fire. There’s nothing like a wood fire for creating comfort and warmth in your home. Thanks to advances in wood fire design, they are an efficient and cost-effective home heating option.
There are a huge variety of woodfire brands in New Zealand and it can be difficult deciding on which fire you want to go with. We stock, service and supply a range of solid fuel burners from leading manufacturers in New Zealand, such as Masport, Metro, Wagener and Firenzo that look great in any home – modern or antique! We can also supply and service other commonly known woodfires such as Kent, Pyroclassic and Woodsman and Yunca. Whatever your tastes and requirements, we can advise you on the best wood fire options that suits your lifestyle and budget.
Choosing a fire comes down to personal preference on size and design. When making your final decision it is important to weigh up the heat outputs, efficiency ratings and maintenance costs between the cheaper models vs. the more expensive models.
Woodfire Council Consent
In the Kaipara District a new permit is required from the council if you are installing a new fire, whether it be a replacement or a brand new installation. All woodfire permits take a minimum of 20 working days to be processed. With exclusive access to the Kaipara District Council portal we can see keep track on the permit process.
Other local councils such as the Whangarei District Council and Far North District Council also require consents for new or replacement fireplaces – these councils may take longer than 20 working days to process permit information.
Our team can look after the whole building consent process, installation and final inspections from start to finish taking the inconveniences away from the homeowner.
