Do I Need A Stove ?

Wood burning stove questions answered!

The first question you might ask is “Why would I want to install and use a stove in the first place?”

Using a wood stove for home heating has several potential advantages. Wood is considered a renewable resource and burning it may produce less particulate matter compared to some gas-powered options.

Another primary advantage is cost efficiency, as wood may be less expensive than electricity or gas, particularly if you obtain wood at minimal cost. Additionally, a professionally installed stove can increase a property’s value, which is often considered a selling point by estate agents.

Heating a home with a wood-fuelled stove offers several supplementary advantages. Wood burning stoves may serve as additional cooking surfaces, which can be utilised for preparing beverages or food during colder months. Additionally, their use has the potential to reduce expenditures on other utilities, such as electricity.

There’s a certain appeal to a wood stove as well, a timeless charm that brings back special memories. Nothing is cosier than to come home to after a long day spent outside in the cold.

Heat output

One of the most desirable features and benefits of a wood burner is the heat output it produces. A wood burning stove provides a powerful heat source for your home, meaning that the room or rooms get warm very quickly and effectively.
