New year’s resolution – treat your home to a wood stove

Wood-burners not only look fabulous, they have plenty of practical benefits too. They provide a great deal of heat for relatively little cost and are highly efficient in comparison to open fires

For the most part, wood-burning stoves are environmentally friendly. However, make sure your wood supplier is committed to replanting the trees harvested and source locally to reduce your carbon footprint.

Heating bills continue to rise in real terms month on month, by installing a wood stove you will make huge strides to reduce your bill. Economists are also predicting a sharp rise in heating fuel costs due to the weaker pound.

Wood-burners have risen in popularity for the last ten years as more homes discover the benefits they have to offer. One benefit that always goes un-noticed is how the value of your home will increase after you have installed the stove professionally.

Essential

Quality installation is fundamental to your wood burner’s performance and safety. We recommend that you have your wood burner installed by a certified fitter (HETAS Registered).

Good for the environment

Burning wood from sustainable forests is carbon neutral – while trees are growing, they capture carbon dioxide from the air. This carbon dioxide is released either when the wood is burnt, or when the tree dies and rots. While some emissions are produced in the transporting and processing of the wood, this is only a very small amount per unit of heat produced.
