The Heating Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme (HETAS) promotes safety and efficiency for the solid fuel, wood and biomass heating industry. HETAS regularly tests and inspects appliances, fuels and other associated equipment used in homes and businesses. The primary advantages of using HETAS stove installers are:-

• Cheaper and Safer: HETAS is a government approved competent scheme which self certifies its stove installers free of cost , otherwise the building control officer will do an inspection which may cost up to 300 euro’s per job.

• Product approval: As HETAS is a government approved scheme, it publishes a guide annually which provides a detailed list of associated equipment like chimneys, approved appliances with your HETAS stove installer.

• HETAS Registration: HETAS provides trained and registered installers which are also approved by the United Kingdom Accreditation Standards (UKAS) and certify that their work is in accordance with the building regulations. HETAS stove installers provide updates, advice and user handbooks with all their equipment.

• Customer Support: you can get your stove serviced every year by a registered HETAS stove installer. Clogged up stoves will have to work harder to burn fuel, thus wasting money.

• Approved HETAS retailers: HETAS authorised retailers advise customers on choice of equipment, fuel quality, carbon monoxide alarms, smoke control zones and chimney sweeping.

• Assured Quality fuel: the HETAS assured quality fuel scheme gives a recognised standard quality of biomass and fuel for efficient working of its appliances which provides consumers a sense of reliability and sustainability.
