A fireplace. A sanctuary against the unpredictable Wellington climate. A source of warmth, comfort, and undeniable charm. Homeowners, drawn to the allure of a crackling fire, often embark on the journey of fireplace installation with visions of cosy evenings and enhanced home value. However, the path to achieving this dream can sometimes be obscured by a maze of hidden costs, leading to unexpected financial burdens.

Fireplaces in Wellington homes provide warmth and ambience. However, problems can arise. Recognising these issues is the first step toward ensuring safety and efficiency. Let’s break down common fireplace repairs and how to address them.

A clean chimney is the difference between a safe, efficient fireplace and a hidden hazard waiting to ignite. Over time, soot and creosote build up inside flues, restricting airflow and increasing the risk of chimney fires. Regular sweeping removes these deposits, ensuring proper ventilation and preventing costly damage.

Wellington’s winters demand more than just warmth—they require a heating system that provides consistent, high-output heat without excessive fuel consumption. Stûv woodburners are engineered to deliver superior heating efficiency, ensuring homes stay warmer for longer while using less firewood.
