Starting in 2025, homeowners will face stricter emission limits for fireplaces, particularly affecting stoves aged 14 to 29 years. With transition periods expiring, many stoves—approximately 1.9 million nationwide, including 200,000 in Hesse—fail to meet new standards.
Non-compliance could result in fines up to 50,000 euros, and chimney sweeps are mandated to report violations to authorities. Owners are encouraged to assess their stoves using the type plate to determine age and consider retrofitting options.
Expert guidance from chimney sweeps is available, as many owners choose to replace their stoves early for environmental reasons. It is crucial for operators to comply with these regulations to avoid penalties and ensure cleaner air.
