Gas & Wood Fireplaces, Outdoor Fireplaces and Fireplace Installation

JT Carters are expert installers of indoor and outdoor gas or wood fireplaces.

The Metro range of wood fires provides the genuine power of fire, the magic of its flames and the natural warmth it provides to the family home.

A Metro fire will do more than simply heat your home. It can also heat water, save on power bills, provide security against electricity restrictions or outages, and can also be used to cook on and boil water for drinking.

Metro offers both clean air approved and LTD models which operate at very high efficiencies when installing with the Metro ECO Flue system. Add a Metro Climate Control System and maximise heat usage to warm your entire home. Eliminate condensation and dampness to provide a healthy dry environment for your family.

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, Metro utilises the highest quality materials, workmanship and the very latest manufacturing techniques. Ongoing investment into research and development, rigorous quality control and premium warranties are a testament to Metro’s commitment to remain at the forefront of the wood fire industry.

Chimney Cleaning & Sweep  

It is important to keep on top of your chimney cleanliness to stop built-up soot and ash hindering your fireplace from heating your house efficiently, and in worst-case scenarios, causing a fire. Many homeowners don’t think about doing this until their fire stops working or they have issues with smoke.

• We reward our loyal customers with ‘early bird’ pricing. Early booking allows us to develop an efficient run sheet for the prewinter period, which makes the process easier for you, the homeowner.

Trusted, reliable wood fires with style, exceptional performance and longevity at affordable prices that will heat your home for many years to come. Metro is proud to support local industry and New Zealand’s future.

Backflow prevention measures are a legal requirement on certain properties identified in the water supply regulations in the Health Act. Is your property compliant?

What is backflow?

Backflow can occur from anyone’s water connection when the pressure in their private system exceeds the pressure in the public water supply

This can create a siphon effect that could allow any contaminants present inside the private property to enter the public water supply.

Backflow prevention devices are fitted at the property boundary to protect the public water supply from contamination.

Get your device installed today

Your device must be certified by a qualified and authorised plumber - that’s us!

Call us today to ensure you’re meeting your backflow device requirements and are compliant with your local council.

Matamata-Piako District Requirements

All properties that require backflow prevention devices will be required to install a device or air gap separation device at the property boundary. This will then need to be inspected and recertified annually. The council is enforcing deadlines for these installations based on priority with the soonest happening on 31 December 2018. Read full details here.

Properties that require backflow prevention devices

High risk

• Includes operations in urban/industrial areas – e.g. chemical plants, sites using, processing or manufacturing toxic materials, hospitals, rest homes, medical and dental centres, vets, funeral directors, truck washing, butchers’ shops, and commercial laundries.
• Operations in rural areas such as farms and equine establishments.
• Connections on the trunk mains connecting water sources to the towns in Matamata, Morrinsville and Te Aroha are regarded as a high risk due to the number of persons who could be potentially affected

Medium risk

• Risks in rural/urban areas – e.g. lifestyle blocks under 2 ha where stock is grazed, hairdressers and car washing facilities.

Low risk

• Processes on the property have the potential to discolour water or change water taste or odour but do not endanger health.
• Examples include hose taps for domestic irrigation systems and hose taps used for filling swimming pools and spa pools.
