The choice of what is included in your stove package is tailored to your specific needs and installation situation. Below you will find the three main options you can choose from to connect your stove. The choice is made when you order the stove from your retailer, or before you add the stove to your cart if ordering from us.

Connection to Existing Chimney

If you already have an existing chimney and wish to connect the new stove to it, only the stove itself will be delivered. This option is suitable for those who already have a functioning installation in place.

Included: Stove only. You may need to supplement with flue pipes with a diameter of 80 mm, which you can find here, as well as a floor protection plate.

Rear-Connected Horizontal Flue

The rear-connected flue is connected directly to the back of the stove and is an economical solution that fits all rear-connected stoves. This type of connection goes through the wall just above floor level, which is a simple and cost-effective choice.

Included: The stove and a rear-connected flue, which means that everything you need except the floor protection plate is included.

Top-Connected Horizontal Flue

The top-connected flue is connected to the top of the stove and fits all top-connected stoves as well as certain rear-connected models with an included conversion kit. This type of flue is ideal for corner installations where you want to angle the stove into the room. It is also suitable if you need to get the flue higher up on the wall, which can be advantageous if you live in areas with a lot of snow or have a patio and want to avoid the flue sticking out low.

Included: The stove and a top-connected flue, as well as a possible conversion kit for top connection if the stove is rear-connected, which means that everything you need except the floor protection plate is included.

Floor Protection Plate

In addition to the stove and any flue, everything is included except for a floor protection plate. To protect your floor, a floor plate or floor glass is necessary, especially if you have combustible material on your floor. We recommend that you purchase these from a local hardware store or tinsmith. For the best protection, the floor plate should extend at least 10 cm to the sides and 30 cm in front of the stove.

We offer a wide range of pellet stoves in different sizes, effects and designs to suit all types of homes and needs. Our models range from traditional to modern, with various features such as remote control, programmable timers and energy efficiency.

Many of them are in stock, and you can easily see the stock status on the respective stove's product information. If the model you want is not in stock, we will take it home on the next delivery, normally within 4-6 weeks.

The right size of stove depends on several factors, including the size of the space to be heated, the insulation in your home, and your local climate. Our staff can help you calculate the optimal heating effect for your specific situation.

With regular maintenance and care, a pellet stove can have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years. The lifespan can vary depending on the model, intensity of use and how well the maintenance is done.

To order a pellet stove with installation, please contact one of our retailers. They will help you choose the right model for your home and arrange an appointment for installation by a certified technician. You then also buy the stove directly from the retailer.

The cost of installation varies depending on the complexity of the installation site and which chimney or flue is to be installed. An installation with a horizontal flue usually costs between SEK 10-15,000 (before ROT deduction). Contact your nearest retailer to get a more accurate price quote for the installation.

When planning the installation of a pellet stove, it's crucial to distinguish between the need for a building permit and a construction notification (building notification). For most pellet stove installations, particularly those that do not require a traditional chimney, obtaining a building permit is not necessary. This is especially true for chimney-less pellet stoves, which have become a popular choice for those seeking an easy installation with minimal visual impact on the property's exterior.

However, despite the lack of a building permit requirement, a construction notification to the local municipality is often required. This notification is critical to ensure that the installation complies with local building regulations and safety standards, particularly concerning fire safety and ventilation. Submitting a construction notification is an important step in ensuring that everything proceeds according to plan and in line with local regulations.

We strongly recommend that you contact your local municipality for detailed information about the specific rules and requirements applicable to your situation. The municipality can provide guidance on both the construction notification and any unique requirements or restrictions that may apply to the installation of pellet stoves in your area. This communication ensures that you follow all necessary procedures and helps avoid any potential delays or complications associated with your installation.

Understanding these nuances is key to a smooth and successful installation of your new pellet stove.

Yes – if you use an approved radiation shield behind the stove. The basic rule in Swedish building regulations (BBR) is that combustible materials must not become so hot that they risk igniting. The stove manufacturer always specifies the minimum distances required. If you want to reduce the distance, you can install a fire protection board made of non-combustible material (class A1) together with a ventilated air gap.

There are several brands on the market, such as fibre cement boards or calcium silicate boards. A common example is Swisspearl/Minerit Multi Force, where the manual (section fireplace with surface temperature below 85 °C) states:

• Thickness: 9 mm
• Air gap: at least 25 mm, ventilated at top and bottom
• Fixing: non-combustible spacers (e.g. metal sleeves, profiles or washers), screw spacing max c/c 400 mm

The combination of a non-combustible board and a ventilated air gap reduces radiant heat, allowing the stove to be placed closer to the wall than otherwise possible.

For optimal performance and safety, the stove and chimney should be cleaned regularly. We recommend a thorough cleaning at least once a year according to the service manual, as well as simpler weekly maintenance that you can carry out yourself.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the combustion chamber, ash box, and chimney, as well as checking that all electrical components and ventilation paths are working properly. It is also important to regularly check and, if necessary, adjust the fuel supply and air intake settings.

A pellet stove works by automatically feeding wood pellets from a store into a combustion chamber where they are ignited. The heat from the combustion of the pellets is then spread around the room with the help of a built-in fan that distributes the hot air more efficiently. The stove's internal thermostat monitors the room temperature and automatically adjusts the pellet supply to maintain the temperature you have set.

This makes operating the pellet stove convenient and user-friendly, as all you need to do is make sure the pellet storage is full and perform regular maintenance such as cleaning ash at regular intervals.

Pellet stoves are designed for efficiency and can provide an even and comfortable heat with minimal environmental impact.

Pellet stoves are very efficient and convert about 90% of the fuel into heat. They are often more cost-effective in the long term compared to traditional heat sources, thanks to lower operating costs and more environmentally friendly fuel.

All pellet stoves in our range come with a built-in Wifi module with the ability to be controlled via an app, which allows you to adjust the heat and monitor the performance of your stove from your smartphone or tablet, even when you are not at home.

Our pellet stoves come with a two-year manufacturer's warranty from the date of delivery, which covers the function of the product apart from the parts that naturally wear during normal use. The warranty does not cover the following:

• Parts subject to normal wear and tear including but not limited to gaskets, glass, cast iron linings, grates, painted, chrome or gold plated parts, handles, electrical cables, lights, LEDs, knobs, and any parts that can be removed from the fireplace without tools .
• Variations in color and appearance of painted or ceramic parts.

This warranty policy ensures that your pellet stove is protected against defects in materials and workmanship, taking into account normal wear and tear and use of the stove. We strive to provide high quality products and service to ensure your satisfaction.

If you encounter a need for service or repair for your pellet stove, you should first contact the retailer where you purchased the stove. They will be able to guide you through the process to ensure your stove is restored to optimal condition.

If you have chosen to install the stove yourself, it is important to note that the responsibility for any service or repair then falls on you. We recommend that you follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to facilitate maintenance and any service needs. You can of course contact our professional support for guidance.
