Customers tell us that this a great stove. That's good enough for me. It's about time we tested it in our office!
Follows on from the Heta Inspire 45, Heta's best selling 5kW stove. Larger glass is the main differentiation.
I really like both stoves - it's really about aesthetics. Which do you like?
Here at Stovefitter's we took a vote and the outcome was that we like Denmark. We all mentioned Lego when making our decision and Bang & Olufsen was also cited as an example of Danish quality - as were Vikings, hygge, and colourful houses.
The HETA Ambition 5 wood burning stove (not multifuel) follows on from Heta's very successful "Inspire 45" and the Danish designers have obviously taken note of the trend towards a larger viewing window and the move away from coal/smokeless fuel.
The stove is manufactured in Denmark and quality is excellent as with all stoves in the HETA range.
The Ambition, due to the single air control, is very easy to use (we like simple controls) so full marks for this.
Excellent controllability and efficiency are as standard ;-)
Wood only
Nominal 5kW
Max. 7kW
This stove will run happily at 3-7kW depending on fuel load.
This stove burns wood only.
This stove meets and exceeds the new 2022 Ecodesign regulations
This stove is approved by DEFRA to burn wood in a Smoke Control Area
85% (as a rough guide 85% of heat goes to the room with 16% going up the chimney).
Don't overthink efficiency. 75%-85% is fine and 90%+ efficiency may not work so well on shorter or difficult chimneys.
Yes, this stove can be fitted with an external air kit (draws air from outside via pipe direct to stove). Usually this option is not relevant unless a room air-vent is required and the property is airtight (by design or choice).
Find "metal "slinky pipe", Jubilee clips and wall vents (all you need) at your local builder's merchant.
Steel stove (5-year body guarantee) with cast-iron door
What to buy steel or cast-iron? Do not overthink. Steel heats fast. Cast-iron takes a little longer but retains heat longer as fire dies.

To non-combustibles there are no hard rules but, around the stove, a 50mm minimum air gap is recommended to brick/stone. This to be increased to 100mm for rendered or boarded surfaces. Prior to purchasing any stove download the installation manual to check that manufacturers do not have any additional requirements.

We offer 14 days from delivery to report any courier damage to your stove. If a stove is damaged by the courier we will replace or refund as desired.
The manufacturer offers a 5 year body guarantee
Why do we sell glass insurance (pre-ticked box close to ADD TO CART button)? Because glass is classed, in the stoves industry, as a consumable item and not covered under ANY guarantee by any manufacture for any reason whatsoever. If it breaks or cracks on day one or day twenty it is not covered. If the inside of the glass goes cloudy or gets any kind of surface coating or etching then it is not covered (it will be to do with what you are burning according to manufacturers and glass makers). Glass usually costs £30-£60 plus postage but can be more on higher end models.
Defra-approved or/and Ecodesign stoves are designed and thoroughly tested before being allowed onto the market and every stove sold is identical. In the rare event a stove does not perform as well as expected it is always down to the installation, the chimney or circumstances unique to the property (pressure imbalances caused by local conditions, down drafts etc.). Here at Stovefitter's we have taken stoves back on a number of occasions for testing on our chimney and in every situation the stoves performed as expected (we may of course find a faulty stove one day but never as yet). We may, at our discretion, take a stove back once it has been used and in this situation a 50% refund would be provided (stove would be sold as second hand). We would, however, offer a 33% refund on a replacement stove.
Already have a chimney? You need 1. Stove 2. Liner 3. Fitting Pack 4. Chimney closure plate (Hardiebacker board from Builder's merchants or galvanised sheet).That's it!
No chimney? Check out our shed kits or let us design your clip-together chimney design - easy peasy.
