What you'll need

Everything to get this stove lit

A stove on its own isn't enough. Here's what comes in the box, what else you'll need, and what your installer brings.

In the box

The stove and the manufacturer's installation and user manual

You'll also need

A carbon monoxide alarm. Required by law in the room with the stove.
Stove pipe to connect it to the flue. Your installer will tell you the length.
A hearth for it to stand on, if you don't already have one.
A chimney liner or twin-wall flue. Your installer supplies this.

Your installer brings

A stainless steel liner sized to the stove and a register plate to seal the chimney, usually after the chimney has been swept and checked.

Fitting, testing and a certificate showing it meets Building Regulations. Keep it for your home insurer and for when you sell.

Ask for one quote that covers the survey, flue, fitting and certificate. Using someone who isn't HETAS registered? Your local building control must approve the work before you use the stove.

About this product

Will it suit your space?

As a rough guide, an average room needs about 1kW for every 14 cubic metres, so its 5kW suits around 70 cubic metres. Older, draughty or high-ceilinged rooms need more, and a heat-loss check by your installer gives the right answer.

The Aria LS stands 920mm tall and weighs 78kg. Opus asks for 250mm to combustible materials behind it and 350mm at the sides.

Questions

What is the difference between the Aria LS and the Aria D?

The LS has an open log store below the fire; the D has a door over that space. Both are 5kW, 81% efficient and the same size.

Can I use it in a smoke control area?

No. The Aria is not on DEFRA's list of exempt appliances for England and there is no SE version, so it should not be used to burn wood in a smoke control area.

What size logs does it take?

Logs up to 330mm long. It burns wood only, and the Opus manual recommends beech and birch.

See all Opus stoves and small log burners, or the Opus Aria D with a door over the log store.

Return and refund policy

Warranty

3 year manufacturer's warranty. The manufacturer's warranty terms apply, which can include registering the product, professional installation and annual servicing. Your rights under the Consumer Rights Act are not affected.

Installation and safety

In England and Wales, installing a solid fuel appliance is notifiable building work: use a HETAS registered installer, or apply to Building Control before the work starts. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own building standards.
Building Regulations require a carbon monoxide alarm in the room when a solid fuel appliance is installed.
In a smoke control area you can only burn wood in an exempt appliance; otherwise you must use an authorised smokeless fuel. Check before you buy.
