Why People Choose Dr Flue
Local knowledge, real compliance
Clean-air rules vary by region, and the wrong fire can mean headaches later. We recommend models that match your council requirements and your home’s real heating needs — not just what looks good on paper.
Installations done right
A great fire only performs well if the flue and clearances are correct. Our installers focus on safe, tidy, compliant work that lasts, with every job signed off properly.
Advice you can actually use
We’re happy to talk through room sizes, insulation, flue routing, existing fireplace issues, and what will work best in your space. No jargon, no pressure.
Support after the sale
We stock common service parts and firebox components, and we’re here when you need servicing, repairs, replacements, or an upgrade later.
Our Approach
We believe heating should be:
Safe — correct clearances, correct flue, correct install.
Efficient — clean burning, reliable heat where you need it.
Simple — clear advice, clear pricing, no surprises.
Built for NZ homes — products and installs suited to our climate and building styles.
