What to check when hiring stove installers in New Zealand
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge a stove installer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Installing a wood burner or solid-fuel heater needs a building consent from your council, and in a clean-air zone the model must be an approved low-emission burner listed by the Ministry for the Environment: confirm both.
- The connection and flue must be installed by a certified solid-fuel appliance installer to the manufacturer's clearances and New Zealand Standards: ask for the consent and the final council inspection.
- Check public liability insurance and GST registration (required above $60,000 turnover).
- Get a written quote covering the appliance, flue, hearth, clearances and the consent.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Installs a wood burner with no building consent, or fits a model that isn't approved for your area.
- Ignores clearances to combustible materials: a serious fire risk.
- No certified installer for the connection and flue.
- No proof of insurance, a large cash deposit, or no written quote.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Will you obtain the building consent, and is the burner approved for my council area?
- Is the installer certified for solid-fuel appliances, and how do you meet the required clearances?
- Do you carry public liability insurance?
- Will there be a council inspection, and what's the warranty?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy stove installer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A stove installer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend stove installers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Stove installers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a stove installer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the stove installer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
