Council encourages the use of heat pumps and modern, ultra-low emission burners that emit less smoke than older, more polluting burners. If you still have an open fire you’re encouraged to install a heat pump or new wood burner.
Open fires are no longer permitted in new house builds in town. If you have a wood burner it’s important to burn only dry, seasoned wood.
Don’t burn treated or painted construction timber, which produces toxic gases. For more information visit: https://www.marlborough.govt.nz/environment/air-quality
