Cosy Homes, Built To Last

There's something about a wood heater that electric or gas systems just can't replicate and Hobart's cooler months are exactly when that difference shows. Southern Trade Services installs, services and repairs wood heaters across Hobart, working with homeowners who want reliable warmth without the hassle of a system that's difficult to maintain or falls short when it matters most.


Our team understands the specific requirements around flue placement, clearances and ventilation that come with a safe, compliant wood heater setup and we handle every stage of the job with that in mind. We also service existing units, helping them run efficiently and safely for years longer than they might otherwise. Hobart locals keep coming back to us because we're straightforward about what a job involves and upfront about cost before any work begins.

Getting The Setup Right

A wood heater is only as good as its installation, and getting that right the first time saves a lot of hassle down the track. Our team takes care with every detail, from correctly sizing a unit to a room through to making sure flue height and clearances meet current safety standards, so you're never left with a system that underperforms or causes issues later on.


We also take the guesswork out of ongoing upkeep, checking things like seals, flue condition and airflow during a service so small issues get caught before they turn into bigger, costlier problems. Hobart properties often deal with older chimneys or retrofitted flues, and our experience across different building types means we know what to look out for in these situations.


Our customers appreciate that we explain what we're doing in plain terms, rather than leaving them unsure about the state of their heater. It's a level of care that keeps our work reliable, season after season.

FAQs

  • How often should a wood heater flue be cleaned?

    Flues should generally be cleaned once a year, ideally before winter, to remove creosote buildup and reduce the risk of chimney fires.

  • What size wood heater do I need for my home?

    Heater size should match the room's floor area and ceiling height. An undersized heater struggles to warm the space, while an oversized one can overheat a room quickly.

  • Are wood heaters legal to install in all areas?

    Regulations vary by council and property type, covering emissions standards, clearances and flue height requirements. Compliance should be confirmed before installation.
