HETAS Approved Stove Installer
Why you should consider installing a wood stove?
In the UK, most people spend their time in the living room, so heating costs are mainly concentrated there. Using a more affordable heating method for this space can significantly reduce overall central and supplementary heating expenses.
How much less does it cost? The price of wood logs can vary quite a bit based on your location and where you source them. Some individuals are lucky enough to get free wood from their gardens or nearby areas, which is a huge benefit—once your wood burner is installed, you could potentially heat your home at no cost. Imagine that!
Using a wood burning stove has many advantages both for you and the environment.
- Modern DEFRA-approved or Ecodesign-rated stoves emit far fewer particulates and burn wood much more efficiently than older open fires.
- Using dry, seasoned wood minimizes smoke and pollution.
- Utilises waste wood, offcuts, sawdust, and forestry by-products that might otherwise rot or be landfilled can be repurposed as energy.
- Wood stoves produce a radiant, “deep” warmth that many find more comfortable than central heating.
- The aesthetic appeal — the flame, crackle, and smell — adds to home atmosphere and wellbeing.
Professional fitting is vital for safety and insurance.
