Stove Industry Association

We’ve chosen to become full retail members of the Stove Industry Association – we see it as fulfilling our responsibility to our industry to ensure it continues long into the future. We also feel it’s important to ensure we have access to technical, political and health updates which keeps us abreast of forthcoming legislation, planned changes, consultations etc. We hope by demonstrably staying informed our credibility with our customers is reinforced and we can provide better products, better advice and better support to them

The Stove Industry Association (SIA) was formed in 2008 to promote the benefits of wood-burning stoves and biomass appliances. The SIA is an association of stove manufacturers and distributors, wood fuel suppliers, flue and glass manufacturers and test approval bodies like Kiwa.

In 2019 the SIA expanded to form the SIA Retail Group of independent stove and fireplace retailer who support the SIA Retail Group pledge to promote the latest low carbon, low emission, Ecodesign Ready appliances, and to provide first class sales and technical advice to customers backed up with continuing after-sales support.

With an ever expanding list of members, the SIA is able to represent the stove industry with government departments such as Defra and BEIS, the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Government. These government departments, local authorities and other regulatory bodies recognise the SIA as the voice of the industry. They now regularly contact the SIA for the industry’s viewpoint.

The SIA represents the UK in CEFACD, the European stove association, which communicates the European stove industry view to the European Commission. The SIA is also a member of BioEnergy Europe and works closely with HETAS and Woodsure.
The SIA has established strong contacts with the academic community covering a number of universities and academics across the UK.

From the outset, the SIA has sought to inform the public and the government about the carbon saving benefits of wood burning stoves. The SIA has also successfully shown that modern clean burning stoves can reduce particulate emissions (PM) from wood burning compared to open fires and older wood burning stoves, through the Ecodesign Ready scheme.

What our customers have to say:

"From the very beginning of the process Nicola and the team from Green Man Stoves have been helpful and honest without any sales pressure at all. The advice given has resulted in a perfect burner for our room. The men who fitted it worked quickly and ensured the room was spotless when they left. I can rest easy knowing that everything is 100% safe and the best materials have been used."

"Greenman Stoves are extremely knowledgeable and efficient - they installed a fabulous new stove last year for us, gave us lots of advice about the best option and then continue to keep in touch to ensure our stove is maintained, which is essential. Super helpful and friendly, highly recommended"

"We have recently used Green Man Stoves for 2 x multi fuel stove supply plus installation in an old victorian cottage. It was quite an undertaking unblocking two disused fireplaces not in service for 30+yrs. Nicola & Mia in the office are a great team, very professional, very friendly and super organised. Great selection of stoves and other paraphernalia backed by a wealth of knowledge. Adam & Alan the installers have been superb. Honest friendly advice all the way through. Efficient, tidy and clearly experts in their field. If you are looking for stove installers, servicing fireplace unblocking/restoration, I can't recommend Green Man Stoves enough. Great experience from end to end, can't wait to get those Stoves cranked up! Thank you Nicola, Mia, Adam & Alan for providing 1st class service."
