Nothing like a fire to warm you up during the chilly Melbourne winters! Wood heaters have been a popular choice for heating homes around Bayside, Brighton and Sandringham for years.
Wood heater placement
Whether you heat your home with a gas log fire installation or a traditional wood fireplace, it is best to work with your local Bayside plumber to find the best location for your heater for maximum heat efficiency. Moreover, when deciding on a spot for your gas or wood fireplace, you need to consider that fireplace flues cannot be installed near doors or windows.
Flues and chimneys
All fireplaces in Melbourne require a flue to vent externally to prevent smoke from escaping into the room. Using a professional plumber ensures your fireplace flue is installed on par with the Australian Standards and venting property.
Wood heater installation regulations
Did you know that all wood heater installations must comply with Australian Standards? Furthermore, wood fire installation regulations in Australia note you should have a licensed plumber install your wood heater to ensure a safe fireplace installation.
