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:

"Good installation many years ago and returned last week to adjust stove position and re-seal collar to connect stove to flue. Giving all customers a good booklet on how to operate stove efficiently with wood fuel (I knew how because I am closely involved in firewood production, but it is timely to see it going to everyone with a wood-burning stove)."

"We are delighted we used Green Man Stoves. From the showroom and specialist advice on how to choose the right stove for our large room to the inspection and fitting, the whole process couldn't have been better, smoother or simpler. We'll definitely be recommending you as the knowledge, choice of product and efficient installation service were great. James' knowledge is very detailed and he couldn't do enough for us. We also looked at the brilliant reviews from other customers. No wonder Green Man Stoves has won the Business of the Year Award twice - here's to the third!!"

"Refreshingly honest about what would be the right wood burner for us, they certainly know their stuff. Great range of wood burners, lovely showroom and lovely couple. Ended up walking out with 2 burners. Slipped one in for my man shed. Could not recommend highly enough!"

"Adam and Alan, who serviced our wood burner, were friendly, informative and thoroughly professional. One small glitch was dealt with quickly and effectively, demonstrating an excellent customer service ethic within this business. We will use them again next year for sure."

"I would publicly like to thank Greenman stoves and their advice they gave us when we met up at their showroom. (that is fantastic to look around on a chilly day). We were advised to purchase two carbon monoxide alarms to place in our homes to help protect us from nasty invisible scentless gas. I was a little dubious as never needed one and just thought they were a waste of time, but Nicola insisted that it is very important. So to cut a long story short this morning we were awoken by our carbon monoxide alarms were going off at 0445 and it awoke the whole house and we opened all the windows to vent our home...British Gas came out and they said the alarms could have saved our lives...So thank you Green Man Stoves you really saved our lives. Your advice and service are 2nd to none
