Stove installation: what the job involves

Fitting a solid fuel or wood-burning stove into a fireplace or a new flue: surveying the chimney, lining it if needed, building a compliant hearth, connecting the stove and providing air supply, and fitting a carbon monoxide alarm. A boiler stove is also plumbed into the heating.

How long it takes: One to two days for a room heater into a sound flue; longer with lining, a new hearth, or a boiler stove plumbed into the heating.

Rules and grants for stove installation

The rules in Ireland

Installing a stove brings building-regulation requirements, including a carbon monoxide alarm, and only approved solid fuels may be sold.

Technical Guidance Document J: when a new or replacement open-flued appliance (other than one only for cooking) is installed, a carbon monoxide alarm to I.S. EN 50291 should be fitted in the room and in each bedroom or within 5 m of the bedroom door; a notice plate is required when a hearth, flue or chimney is provided.
Under the Solid Fuel Regulations 2022, smoky (bituminous) coal is banned nationwide and only approved fuels from registered producers may be sold. The selling of turf and the burning of waste timber are banned.
From 1 September 2026, wood logs and other 100% biomass fuel must have a moisture content of 20% or less.
