Mitre 10 MEGA Ashburton takes us through what you need to know when it comes to buying a wood burner for clean air zones.

What you need to know when it comes to clean air zones

The Canterbury Air Regional Plan came into force in October 2017, introducing restrictions around wood burners in Clean Air Zones (areas where air pollution is often high) and on properties less than two hectares. However, this is not to mean that you can’t embrace the warmth and cosiness of a wood burner in these areas, just that you need to opt for ultra-low emission burners, which feature good fuel and smoke-free burning techniques.
