You must obtain a building consent to install or move a solid or liquid fuel space heater in your building.
Once it is installed or moved, you should obtain a code compliance certificate before the appliance is used. While you do not need a building consent to replace a flue or firebricks with comparable materials, your work will still need to comply with the building code(external link).
Installing a heat pump does not require a building consent but must be installed by registered electricians who certify their own work.
Note: The Council may make a decision to issue the code compliance certificate for a solid fuel burner without an application being submitted if satisfied that the requirements of Section 94 of the Building Act 2004(external link) have been met.
All construction documentation should be on-site or received and accepted at this time, if not previously submitted.
Please refer to the building consent construction documentation and advice notes provided with your building consent at the time of issue.
