Impressive heat output

Our fires are designed to heat up quickly and reach peak output within a short time of lighting

 

Peak output (kW) is the maximum amount of heat that a fire is capable of producing during the burn cycle. Independent IANZ accredited testing resulted in a Metro Wee series firebox reaching its 15kW peak output within an hour of lighting. Peak output times and heat output varies for each model due to appliance mass, fuel quality, the amount of fuel used and how frequently the firebox is reloaded during operation.

Peak outputs (kW ratings) are based on the NZHHA test method using dry pine with testing undertaken by independent International Accredited New Zealand (IANZ) testing facilities. IANZ accreditation provides assurance that the independent testing facility operates effective quality processes, providing a professional service through expertise and technical competence that is recognised as world-class.

Wood warmth. Renewable energy.

Unlike non-renewable fossil fuels, wood fuel is a renewable energy source and when harvested from sustainable forestry, is a far better choice for the environment. As trees grow, they capture carbon from the atmosphere and store it in their biomass.

Wood biomass is a natural, carbon neutral fuel when burned efficiently and cleanly, generates no more carbon dioxide (CO2) than if it was left to naturally decompose.

Peak heat output (kW)
The maximum amount of heat that a fire is capable of producing during the burn cycle. Peak heat output varies for each model due to appliance mass, fuel quality, the amount of fuel used and how frequently the firebox is reloaded during operation.

Icon

Heating area and home size
As a guide, 1kW of heat output = 10m2 of heating area. For example a 15kW fire would suit a typical 150m2, 3 bedroom home. Based on a home with a 2.4m ceiling height in an average climate with insulation to current NZ standards.
