Are Stoves Environmentally Friendly ? Wood stoves gaining ground every day

The wood burning stove market is growing each year, with significant progress made on environmental challenges. Interest typically rises in colder months, but last year demand remained steady all year. So are stoves environmentally friendly ?

Due to rising fuel bills homeowners are seeking alternative cost-effective heating options.

Wood burning stoves now offer a variety of options and are an attractive, practical alternative for home heating.

Advantages of a wood burning stove.

  • The net fuel cost is cheaper than heating oil, natural gas, and electricity.
  • Wood sourced locally can be free
  • Fuel in the form of logs, wood chips, brush clippings is renewable, and sustainable.
  • Wood supply prices are relatively stable and have been for years.
  • Professionally installed stove will add value to your property

If you combine these advantages with the elegance a wood burner brings to your home its worth considering without a doubt.

Seasoning your wood is essential for efficiency.

For best results, dry wood should be stacked in a sunny, breezy spot under cover. Storage in sheds, garages, or shady areas slows seasoning. Pre-seasoned wood can be kept in any dry location.
