A trusty stove is the heart of any vessel, but professional installation is critical for safety and longevity. We offer a range of solutions to suit every boating lifestyle:

  • Solid Fuel Boat Stoves: A traditional and effective way to heat your home, providing dry heat that protects your vessel’s interior from damp. Learn more about our Solid Fuel Boat Stove Installations.
  • Diesel Boat Stoves: Increasingly popular for their clean operation and precise controllability. See our range of Diesel Boat Stove Installations.
  • Safety First: Our qualified engineers ensure every installation meets the latest standards to protect you from Carbon Monoxide. Read our latest Safety Blog Posts for expert advice.

Tailored Heating: Leisure vs. Residential

The way you use your boat significantly impacts the type of heating system you need. We design bespoke systems based on your specific requirements:

  • Leisure Craft: For weekend escapes, convenience is key. We recommend diesel or LPG gas heating for quick start-up and easy winterisation.
  • Residential Boats: For liveaboards, robustness and moisture control are vital. We specialise in integrated systems combining SureCal Calorifiers with stoves to manage condensation. Check our Plumbing and Sanitation Category for hot water solutions.
