Authorised burners
Smoke from home heating is a major contributor to air pollution in Waitaha Canterbury. To help improve air quality, we ensure burners pass strict emissions tests before authorising them for use in our region. Check if a burner is authorised by searching for it in the list below or search for a previously approved burner.
Guidelines for installing and maintaining burners
- If you’re installing a burner within a Clean Air Zone or on a property under 2 hectares, you must follow our home heating guidelines.
- Check our Solid Fuel Burner Database for information on your current burner’s age and replacement date. (Note: The database is not fully up to date; contact your city or district council for property-specific details.)
- An approved secondary emission reduction device may allow you to use a low-emission burner past its usual limit. If you make unapproved modificiations to your burner, it may become non-compliant.
- If you are a manufacturer or supplier, find out how to get a burner authorised.
Search for an authorised burner
Find a burner that is currently authorised for use.
This list does not include burners that were previously authorised for installation in the past but are not currently authorised. Search for a previously approved burner.
Search for previously approved burners
A previously approved burner is one that met the emission standard required by us at the time of installation.
Older style burners
The burners on this list are older-style burners. Older-style burners are generally only common outside of Christchurch, Kaiapoi, Rangiora and Ashburton. They may have two airflow controls, a grate and ash pan and a multi-fuel burner. They can be banked down overnight.
These burners have been phased out in all Clean Air Zones. They may still be used on properties over 2 hectares in size, but they cannot be installed on any property in Waitaha/Canterbury.
