2022 Eco Design Ready
The Defra Approved Ecosy+ Ottawa 5 ECO is the latest edition to the very popular and well reviewed Ottawa range of stoves, that is used by qualified stove installers and the general public every day. It is Ottawa’s first wood only stove and has been tested and approved to meet the new Ecodesign requirements that became mandatory for all stoves constructed after January the 1st 2022.
It has been proven that this model not only meets but exceeds the government’s tough requirements by upto 58%; many stoves do not pass the test at all. All test results have been carried out by Kiwa Gastec in Cheltenham, UK – a leader in their field. Find out more about the Ecodesign scheme at stoveindustryalliance.com.
The Technology
The Ottawa 5 Eco has been rigorously tested and has been found to have a very low particulate output and is cleaner burning than many units costing over £1000.00. A true testament to the quality of this fire. Full eco design test results have been listed in the stove specification if you wanted to compare the data with any other product. These new standards have been put in place In response to the government’s initiatives to lower such emissions from wood burning stoves, so you can rest assured that you have one of the cleanest stoves for sale in the UK.
The Ottawa 5 Eco’s body is constructed from laser cut steel that is flawlessly seam welded. Hung on this frame is a mineral cast iron door with a large heat resistant viewing window and full fire retardant rope seal. This is a wood burning only stove therefore does not require a multi-fuel grate or ash pan as wood loves to burn on the base. The stove is however lined with thick 25mm vermiculite boards that protect the stove’s shell and its internal steel baffle is removable for sweeping. Under the stove is the simple push pull lever that gives an incredibly accurate degree of control over the fire as the vent plate is mechanically attached to the body.
The high efficiency and low particulate output is achieved by a newly developed secondary/tertiary burn system that forces particulates to be reignited and burnt off before navigating their way around the twin baffle system. The stove also includes an airwash system that draws air in through the top vent and expels it over the glass, helping to keep it clean and clear.
As with all Ottawa stoves it is not overly complicated but it works very well. The Ottawa 5 Eco Deluxe has a quality finish and is easy and cheap to maintain (something people often forget about). Too often stoves have over-complicated systems that do not stand the test of time and can be incredibly expensive and complicated to fix. We confidently offer a 5 year warranty on this product.
5 Year Guarantee
This covers the stove’s body and not the internal perishable parts like grates and fire bricks. Guarantee is activated when the stove is invoiced. The 6 digit number on the top of each invoice is the warranty number. For the stove to be covered it must be installed by a HETAS engineer or signed off by building control.
DEFRA Approved
The Ottawa 5 Eco Deluxe has been rigorously tested and approved to burn wood in smoke controlled zones. Defra approved stoves with 5″ flue outlets, like this one, can also be installed with a 5″ liner.
