No, not within Christchurch Clean Air Zone One as this would add to existing pollution levels. At times during the winter, Christchurch has poor air quality largely caused by home heating .
In order to clean up the air and meet the National Environmental Standard for air quality in Christchurch, only clean air approved woodburners can be installed and only then as a replacement for an existing burner or open fire.
It is possible to apply for a resource consent to install a high performance pellet fire, however the outcome of any resource application is not certain.
