TFS Woodstoves Cambridge

read moreAt TFS we specialise in supplying, installing and servicing wood burning stoves and fireplaces to domestic customers. We have worked in all kinds of properties including listed buildings and new builds and we're used to working in sensitive conservation areas. We also work closely with architects, planning officers, interior designers, property developers and country estate managers. We offer the complete service from choosing the wood burning or multifuel stove, carrying out any associated building work, installing the wood stove and flue and making 'good' including any remedial plastering.

In the UK suitable models have been granted exemption from the regulations by the government through DEFRA but this is due to be superseded by a new initiative called Ecodesign. However, on Monday 28th February 2017, the Stove Industry Alliance (SIA) launched the new Ecodesign initiative in Parliament. Ecodesign is the European-wide directive to lower emissions which will come into full force in the UK in 2022.

Timber for fuel is typically up to 30% cheaper than oil or gas and with recent price rises in both, the savings are only likely to increase. An additional environmental benefit is that timber is usually sourced locally, so transport miles and associated emissions are kept to a minimum. In addition to this, if you choose a stove with a boiler option and heat exchanger, you can even provide yourself with domestic hot water or run radiators from the same fire.

Wood is known as a carbon neutral fuel, as a tree grows it gradually captures CO2 from the atmosphere and when it rots or is burned the same amount of CO2 is released. This carbon cycle is repeated as new trees grow and then die. Cutting firewood through thinning and coppicing can re-establish traditional woodland management.

We've been in the business for a long time and we're well connected so are able to source wood and multi fuel burner stoves from all the leading manufacturers.

New generations of clean burning stoves are much more efficient than models of the past. Most modern wood-burning stoves burn the fuel not once, but twice by introducing warm air just above the normal height of the fire.
