Rosebud's Wood Heaters Are Getting On
Plenty of Rosebud homes have had a wood fire for decades. Some of those heaters went in when the house was built. They've kept a lot of families warm, but age catches up with them.
Heaters made today have to meet tougher emission and efficiency limits than older models. So a new one burns cleaner and gets more warmth from every log. It's one of the most rewarding woodfire installations we do.
Old Heater Out, New Heater In
Not sure if your heater is due for retirement? These are the usual giveaways.
Smoke in the room: It spills out when you open the door, or leaks around the seals.
Ceiling height: High and raked ceilings hold a lot of air to heat.
Cracks and warping:
A cracked firebox, buckled baffle or warped door.
Rust coming through: Holes or heavy rust in the body or flue.
Hungry for wood: It burns through logs fast but never really warms the room.
No compliance plate:
There's no AS/NZS 4013 plate on the back or side.
Here's the honest bit. Not every old heater needs replacing. Sometimes a new door seal or firebricks will do. If that's the case, we'll tell you.
If it is time for a new one, we remove the old heater and check the hearth and flue. Then we fit your new heater to suit. That's fireplace installation in Rosebud, done properly.
Is Your Existing Heater Safe and Compliant?
Just bought a Rosebud home with a wood heater? Or had yours for years without a second thought? It's worth a look. A compliant setup includes:
A tested heater: A permanent AS/NZS 4013 compliance plate fixed to the unit.
A proper hearth: The right size and material for that heater, with safe clearances around it.
A sound flue: No corrosion or gaps, and topped with a cowl in good shape
If anything's missing or worn, we'll explain what it means and what it costs to fix.
Thinking About a Second-Hand Heater?
A good used heater can save you money. Just check a few things before you hand over the cash
Look for the plate: It still needs a plate showing it passed AS/NZS 4013 testing.
Inspect the body:
Walk away from cracks, warping or heavy rust.
Ask about the flue: Find out which flue kit it needs. Your old flue may not suit it.
Even a used heater needs a licensed plumber to fit it. Send us the make and model, and we'll tell you if it's worth it.

Rather Not Haul Firewood? Try a Gas Log Fire
Love the look of a fire but over the wood pile? A gas log fire in Rosebud gives you real flames without the splitting, carrying or ash. It works on either mains gas or LPG bottles.
In many homes, a gas log fire can go into your existing fireplace. Our licensed gas fitters handle the whole job, gas connection included.
