Description
Hergom fireplaces have a long name in slow combustion heating, and the Hergom EB-1 SE shows why. It is a compact steel stove with a vermiculite-lined firebox, a wide output range and an efficiency rating of 80 percent. That means strong heat when the evening is cold and a gentle, steady burn when you turn it down.
Hergom EB-1 SE Wood Fireplace Features
Output you can control
The stove runs from 8.4 to 12 kW. Open the air for a quick warm-up when you get home, then close it down for a slow combustion stove burn that lasts through the evening. You decide how hot the room gets.
Vermiculite firebox
Vermiculite panels line the firebox and reflect heat back into the fire. The wood burns hotter and more completely, which means less smoke, cleaner glass and more warmth from each log.
High efficiency
At 80 percent, most of the energy in your wood ends up as room heat rather than going up the flue. Over a Cape winter that adds up to fewer loads of wood and fewer trips to the woodpile.
Neat footprint
It measures 43.4 x 61 x 84.9 cm and weighs 84 kg, with a 150 mm flue leaving from the top. The compact size fits a corner, an alcove or a standard hearth in front of an old chimney.
Is the EB-1 SE right for your home?
Hergom rates it for about 81 to 115 m2, so it suits a medium to large lounge or an open-plan living area. If your room has high ceilings or lots of glass, send us the details and we will confirm. See more freestanding fireplaces if you need a smaller or bigger model.
Installation in Cape Town

Hergom EB-1 SE FAQs
What does SE stand for on the EB-1?
Hergom uses model suffixes for different versions of a stove. Ask our team and we will confirm exactly what the SE version includes before you order, so you know what you are buying.
How much wood does a slow combustion stove use?
Far less than an open fireplace. With high efficiency and the air turned down, this Hergom can keep a room warm on a modest load of dry wood. Wet or green wood wastes heat, so always burn seasoned logs.
