Hunter Stoves wood heaters in Hobart

Yes, by a comfortable margin. Tasmania sits at the strict end of Australian emissions regulation, with the Tasmanian EPA enforcing AS/NZS 4013 closely. The Parkray Aspect 5 burns at 0.7 g/kg, the Aspect 8 at 0.8 g/kg, and the Aspect 14 at 0.9 g/kg, all well under the 1.5 g/kg ceiling. Your authorised dealer will confirm the local council requirements at purchase.

Authorised dealers cover Greater Hobart, the Huon Valley, the East Coast, and into the Tasmanian Midlands. See the dealer list below or use the full outlet locator. Tasmanian dealers regularly deliver and install across the island, so reach a long way beyond their nearest suburb.

Real Tasmanian winter runs from May to October, with serious cold snaps reliably through July and August. Many Hobart and Huon Valley customers burn their Aspect heater every night across that period and use it as the home's primary heat source. The 67% to 72% efficiency of the Aspect range means you use less wood per night than older heaters for the same warmth.

For inner-Hobart cottages and Battery Point terraces, the Aspect 5 Eco (up to 140 sqm) is the right size. For typical family homes in Glenorchy, Kingston, Sandy Bay, and across the Huon, the Aspect 8 Eco (up to 195 sqm) is the most popular pick. The Aspect 14 Eco is for larger or poorly insulated rural homes, especially in the Midlands and on the East Coast.

Hobart installs typically run between $2,500 and $5,000. Tasmania has more older homes with stone or weatherboard construction, complex flue routes, and steeper roof pitches than other capitals, all of which push the install cost up. Your authorised dealer will quote firm after seeing the space.
