Hunter Stoves wood heaters in Melbourne
The Parkray Aspect Eco range is a premium, clean-burning wood heater engineered in the United Kingdom and well suited to the sharp end of a Victorian winter. Authorised dealers cover Greater Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, the Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, and the high country. Visit a showroom, see the heater in person, and arrange a certified install.
A wood heater built for the cold half of the year
Melbourne is the Australian capital that needs a wood heater the most. Long stretches of single-digit nights, sharp wind off the bay, and the kind of damp cold that radiates straight through a poorly insulated period home. The Parkray Aspect Eco range is built for exactly that climate, and for the ritual of lighting a fire that holds heat for the entire evening.
Each model is tested to AS/NZS 4012 and AS/NZS 4013 and exceeds the 2030 Australian emissions standard. That matters in Victoria, where EPA-driven rules sit at the strict end of the country and councils in inner Melbourne can add their own constraints. The Aspect 5 burns at 0.7 g/kg, less than half the regulatory ceiling.
Buying through an authorised Hunter Stoves Victoria dealer keeps the supply, flue, installation, and ongoing service under one roof. You get a heater built for a 10 year firebox warranty, installed by a qualified person in line with AS/NZS 2918, and backed by a dealer who knows the local conditions, chimney quirks, and inspection regime.

Buying in Melbourne
Common questions
Do Victorian rules let me install a new wood heater in metro Melbourne?
Yes, but with conditions. EPA Victoria sets the AS/NZS 4013 emissions limit at 1.5 g/kg for new installs. The Parkray Aspect Eco range comfortably exceeds that, with the Aspect 5 burning at just 0.7 g/kg. Check your local council, particularly in inner-Melbourne suburbs where some councils set additional restrictions.
Which Hunter Stoves dealers serve Melbourne and regional Victoria?
Authorised dealers cover Greater Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, the Yarra Valley, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, and the high-country towns. See the dealer list below or use the full outlet locator to search by postcode.
How does a wood heater perform through a Melbourne winter?
Melbourne winters are sharper than Sydney's, with overnight lows that justify a properly sized heater. The Aspect 8 (up to 195 sqm) is the most popular Melbourne pick, sized for open-plan living and double-storey terraces. The Aspect 14 (up to 220 sqm) suits poorly insulated period homes, country properties, and high-country cottages.
Can I run a wood heater in a Melbourne apartment or townhouse?
Apartments are rarely viable because the flue has to run through the roof, which most strata schemes do not allow. Townhouses can work where the title gives you exclusive access to the roof above your unit and the body corporate signs off. Talk to your dealer early, they have seen most of the edge cases.
How much does installation cost in Melbourne?
Most Melbourne installs land between $2,000 and $4,500. Older inner-suburb homes with steep tin roofs or restricted access can push higher, while a straightforward single-storey weatherboard sits at the lower end. Your authorised dealer quotes after seeing the space.
