Kent Fires is a heritage wood fire brand; known for providing reliable, high quality, and affordable wood fires for New Zealand households for 30 years. Over 400,000 homes have a Kent fire installed, no wonder the brand is synonymous with home heating for most New Zealanders.
The Kent Fires heating brand began in the South Island in the early sixties, and rapidly made a name for itself as an innovative wood burner, due to its unique use of internal baffles to optimise the efficiency of the firebox.
Our Kent wetback wood fire is the only way our giant family made it through the cold winters. We raised 15 children in our large 4 bedroom home. The fire easily kept the whole house toasty, even attracting the kids’ friends to stay at our crowded house during every school holidays! 10 of our children were girls, so you can imagine the power bills I would…
Will Kent Wood Fires heat my whole home?
The correctly sized wood fire for a home is important.
Too large and it will be forever run on low causing poor combustion and creosote problems restricting the flue updraft.
Too small and it will fail to generate sufficient heat to warm the area.
Kent Fires always recommend a site check of the home by a certified fire installer before installation. Bear in mind that while the wood fire may generate sufficient heat it then has to be circulated throughout the home. If the house doesn’t allow natural dispersal of heat (e.g high ceilings, long hallways etc) circulation can be improved with a ceiling fan or heat transfer kit.
