Metro Fires

Metro is New Zealand(TM)s leading in-home heating manufacturer and provides the best range of energy efficient and environmentally friendly home heating systems at affordable prices including Metro Wood Fires, Metro Pellet Fires and Metro Solar Systems as well as ECO flue systems, wetback hot water systems, heat transfer systems, floor protectors and child guards.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on research and development ensure their New Zealand-made wood fires meet stringent clean-air and efficiency standards.

Metro's wood fires have become more sophisticated and functional, with a large range of models, colours, and styles, also options such as wetbacks and boilers for under floor heating. Even for city dwellers, Metro's wood burners can meet most home heating needs

The Metro Wood Fire range gives exceptional performance and long life, presented in a compact stylish form at an affordable price and when combined with Metro Heat Transfer Systems, heated air produced by these super efficient fires can be pumped throughout the house, making homes warmer, drier, and healthier.

Metro's wetback design has been fine-tuned with almost 35 years of development. They consist of a heavy cast heat sink with a copper coil pressed into a medium of carbon paste, then sealed with graphite cement. The result is a wetback that gives maximum heat transfer from the firebox into the hot water, with minimal cooling effect on the fire.

The Metro Pellet Fire range are very clean burning and offer exceptional heating efficiencies as they achieve 80% efficiency and above, with particulate emissions of 0.5 grams per kilogram of fuel burned. There is a timer and thermostat to start and stop them automatically and the fuel is sustainable, not fossil-based, and almost entirely carbon neutral. Operating costs are comparable to gas or electricity.
