Why is my wood heater smoking inside the house?
Smoke entering the room is usually caused by poor airflow or draft issues. This can be due to blockages in the flue, incorrect installation, worn seals or negative air pressure inside the home. It may also be linked to using unseasoned wood. A proper inspection by The Flue Pro can help to identify the exact cause and restore correct operation.
How do I know if my wood heater needs repairs?
Common signs include reduced heat output, excessive smoke, difficulty keeping a fire going, visible damage, or unusual smells during operation. If the heater is not performing as expected or shows signs of wear, it is best to have it inspected before the issue worsens.
Is it worth repairing an old wood heater?
It often depends on the condition of the unit and the type of damage. Minor to moderate issues such as seals, alignment or small cracks can usually be repaired cost effectively. However, if the heater is very old or has significant structural damage, upgrading to a newer, more efficient model may be a better long term option.

Fix Smoke & Performance Issues
Many common heater problems come down to airflow, sealing or internal damage that develops over time. We often find that even small faults like worn door seals or slight misalignment can affect how your heater burns, leading to smoke entering the room or difficulty maintaining a steady fire. By carrying out proper repairs, we restore balance to the system, allowing for cleaner combustion and more consistent heat.
Cracked fireboxes and structural damage can also pose serious safety concerns if left unaddressed. We handle professional repairs, including welding and component replacement, to extend the life of your heater and ensure it continues to operate safely. With regular maintenance and timely repairs, we help prevent the need for more costly replacements down the track.
By keeping your heater in good condition, we improve performance, increase efficiency and give you peace of mind every time you use it.
