With energy prices continuing to rise and many homeowners feeling the pinch, this year it makes sense to swap an old, fuel-guzzling fire for an efficient, cost-effective inset stove. Saving money is more important than ever right now, as is heating the home in preparation for the cold winter months ahead. Eurostove’s sleek and seamless collection of inset stoves is cost-effective, highly efficient and designed to complement contemporary and classic interiors.

Each of these three options below fit into a standard British fireplace. Simply remove the fireback and the stove can be installed quickly and easily with minimal effort and minimal fuss. While they may be minimal in terms of fitting, they all offer maximum benefit in heating and cost control. An open fire may sound appealing but they actually lose 80% of their heat up the chimney. That’s a huge waste and means literally throwing money away. Eurostove inset stoves however are 80% efficient - perfect for the current fuel poverty crisis.

As well as being efficient and cost-effective, Eurostove inset stoves also comply with the new Ecodesign legislation and are DEFRA approved. The Government’s Clean Air Strategy, which came into effect on 1 January 2022, promotes the use of clean-burning solid fuels, appliances and operation techniques to reduce the impact of solid fuel appliance use on the UK’s air quality. These Ecodesign stoves meet all the new requirements. They also pass the required standards for woodburning in smoke-controlled areas, so they can be installed in any home in any location. All three are also A+ rated for energy efficiency.

For a compact and contemporary design, Mendip Stoves’ Christon 400 multi fuel 4.3kW inset stove has a high-efficiency chamber and external air capability, enabling it to be installed in both new-build and refurbishment projects alike. It has the option of a three or four-sided frame to suit the installation required.

The Eurostove Beltane Holford is a convection inset multi fuel stove with a modern look and the option of a three or four-sided frame. It comes with air wash technology for cleaner glass and can be installed within an existing 16inch British fireplace with the three-sided model or placed higher in the wall with the four-sided. It has a heat output of 5kW and is 80.4% efficient.

Bringing a modern look to any home, the Westfire Uniq 35 multi fuel inset stove is a bold firebox design with an efficient combustion system to maximise energy. With the fire chamber installed either at eye level with the four-sided design or in place of an existing fireplace with the three-sided, it has a 4.3kW heat output and 80.9% efficiency. Perfect for adding a stylish and cosy finish to contemporary living spaces or open-plan interiors.

The Beltane Holford inset stove is priced from £1,375, the Christon 400, from £1,547 and the Uniq 35, from £1,547.
