Regardless of whether you simply want to modernize your stove or have to replace your old model due to legal requirements such as the BImSchV: modern tiled stoves will inspire you with their advantages and replacing them is nothing to worry about.

But when is the perfect time for a replacement? How does the replacement process work? And what do you need to look out for? We would like to answer all these questions in detail in this article.

We are convinced that summer is the ideal time to think about replacing your old tiled stove. We'd like to explain why this is the case.

Let's get straight to it!

Optimal conditions: Replacing your tiled stove in summer

Why should you think about replacing your tiled stove in summer? There are many good reasons!

Firstly, availability and processing are often better and faster in the warm season, as only a few customers order at this time. For most, this topic only becomes more relevant again in the fall and winter. This means that you benefit from shorter waiting times and your tiled stove can be replaced in no time at all.

At Spartherm, for example, we can offer you a delivery time of just 4 weeks in some cases, so that if you order in summer, you can enjoy the soothing warmth of your new tiled stove in winter.

Secondly, summer offers the most pleasant conditions for installation. During the hot months, you need your stove less or, at best, not at all. This means you don't have to make any compromises during installation and removal. The installers can work in optimal conditions without your home becoming uncomfortably cold.

So, what are you waiting for? Find your dream tiled stove now!

Tiled stove reloaded: old tiled stove versus modern fire enjoyment

But what can you expect from a modern tiled stove? Modern tiled stoves offer numerous advantages that will significantly increase your efficiency and comfort.

Imagine having a larger viewing window that displays an impressive play of flames and simultaneously emits heat into the room. These modern stoves are not only more environmentally friendly and meet the current BImSchV requirements, they are also much more efficient. So you can look forward to lower heating costs and better heat distribution. This makes investing in a modern tiled stove twice as worthwhile.

And the best thing is that most new heating inserts can be easily installed in the existing room. Your tiled stove is therefore retained and the tiled stove insert can simply be replaced.

 

For all technology lovers or those who want to become one: With smart fireplace assistance functions that can be easily controlled via app, heating becomes even more convenient. Imagine the air supply in your fireplace being controlled automatically. This not only ensures optimum combustion and efficient fuel utilization, but also less soot formation and emissions. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the fire.

What advantages does steel offer in your tiled stove

You probably know that many of the old tiled stoves and even some modern models rely on cast iron.

At Spartherm, however, we have deliberately opted for austenitic steel - and for good reason. Highly heat-resistant austenitic steel is perfect for applications with flue gas and components in contact with flames up to 1100 °C and is also rustproof. Steel also has a lower material thickness than cast iron, which enables faster heat dissipation. Steel heating inserts are also considerably lighter than cast iron appliances, which makes installation easier and quicker. This means you benefit from a particularly quick replacement, which usually only takes half a day. And best of all, the use of austenitic steel does not affect the durability of our heating inserts in any way.
