Why Premium Fires
Done once, done properly
Premium Fires is a wood fire installation specialist based in Whangārei, Northland, operated by Luke. We install freestanding and inbuilt wood fires and log burners, build and re-flue chimney systems, and remove and replace old open fireplaces across the Whangārei district and Bream Bay coast — all to NZ Standard AS/NZS 2918, with building consent handled as part of the job.
A wood fire is only as good as the install behind it. Get the clearances, hearth and flue right and you get a clean, hot, efficient fire that lasts. Get it wrong and you get smoke, soot and risk.
- Owner on the tools. Luke does the work himself — no subbies, no shortcuts.
- Compliant to NZ Standard. Every install meets AS/NZS 2918 for solid-fuel appliances.
- Clean, tidy job. We protect your home, and leave it cleaner than we found it.
- Northland local. Honest advice from someone who lives and works here.

Frequently asked
Both. We can supply and install a new wood fire or log burner to suit your home and budget, or install a unit you already have. Either way you get one accountable team handling the fire, the hearth, the flue and the finish — installed to NZ Standard AS/NZS 2918.
We're based in Whangārei and cover the Whangārei district and Bream Bay coast — Kamo, Tikipunga, Onerahi, Maunu, Whau Valley and Raumanga, out to Hikurangi and Maungatapere, and south through Ruakākā, Waipū and Mangawhai to Kaiwaka and Maungaturoto. If you're nearby and not listed, just ask.
Yes. We tidily remove old open fires and tired, inefficient units and replace them with a modern, clean-burning wood fire that's compliant and far cheaper to run. We handle the mess and the disposal so you don't have to.
Every install is done to NZ Standard AS/NZS 2918 for solid-fuel appliances — correct clearances, shielding, hearth and flue. Luke also takes care of the building consent and council requirements for you, so the whole job is handled from start to finish.
Wood fire installation cost depends on the fire you choose, the flue length and your roof type, and whether any old fireplace needs removing first. Because every home is different, Luke gives a free on-site quote rather than a guess over the phone — a clear, itemised price for your space. Call 020 4127 9826 or send a message to book a look.
Yes — installing a wood fire or solid-fuel heater in New Zealand needs a building consent under the Building Act 2004. Luke handles the consent application with the Whangārei District Council as part of the job, so you don't have to manage it. Every install meets NZ Standard AS/NZS 2918, which is the standard the council assesses against.
Give Luke a call or send a message and we'll arrange a free on-site look. We'll talk through the right fire and flue for your space, then put a clear, no-obligation quote in front of you.
