Choosing the Perfect Multi Fuel Stove for Your Belfast Home

Choosing a multi fuel stove is a big decision for any homeowner, especially in Belfast and across Northern Ireland where homes vary widely in size, layout, and heating needs. It’s not just about heat output — it’s about finding a stove that suits your space, lifestyle, and long-term running costs.

At Glenhill Merchants in Belfast, we help customers choose and install the right stove, offering expert advice from showroom visit to final installation.

What Size Stove Do You Need?

One of the most common mistakes when choosing a stove is selecting the wrong output for the room.

As a general guide:

• Smaller Belfast homes and living rooms often suit a 4–5kW stove

• Larger or open-plan spaces may require higher output

Choosing the correct size improves comfort, efficiency, and fuel use. A professional assessment is always recommended before installation.

Multi Fuel vs Wood Burning Stoves

Multi fuel stoves offer flexibility, allowing you to burn:

• Wood

• Smokeless coal

• Other approved fuels

This flexibility is particularly popular with homeowners in Northern Ireland, where fuel availability and running costs can vary.

Installation & Safety

A full stove installation should include:

• Flue and liner

• Carbon monoxide alarm

• Compliance with local building and safety regulations

At Glenhill Merchants, stove installation is carried out by experienced professionals, ensuring your stove is safe, efficient, and fully compliant.

Many homeowners today are also choosing to incorporate fireplaces and stoves into modern media wall designs, creating a stylish focal point in the living room.
