National Environmental Standards (NES)

National Environmental Standards came into effect throughout New Zealand in 2005, imposing a minimum 65% efficiency and maximum 1.5gm emission requirements on all woodfires installed on properties with a land area of less than two hectares. Properties of two hectares or more are exempt from this National Environmental Standard. This effectively creates two woodfire markets, and as a consequence Metro produce a range of product for each.

Please Note – Environment Canterbury have imposed emission requirements which take precedence over the national environmental standard, while some other councils within New Zealand have imposed or are considering adopting bylaws relating to environmental issues. If in doubt talk to your Metro retailer.

ECO Metros

Designed for properties less than two hectares, ECO Metro fires surpass the requirements of the National Environmental Standard. Utilising advanced combustion technology ECO Metros have a more complex firebox design which operate at higher combustion temperatures, but offer shorter burn times than their LTD Metro equivalents.

LTD Metros

Designed for properties two hectares or more, LTD Metros retain features like overnight burning and genuine wetbacks while still meeting internationally accepted efficiency and emission standards.
