Avoid Rising Heating Bills!

Great value stoves

A wood burning stove can be a great focal point in your living room, creating a warm, cosy feel. It can also be a practical way to cut or avoid rising heating bills – a recent survey of 1,000 stove owners showed 74% believe getting a stove had saved them money on fuel costs. If you can source a good wood supply at a low price the savings you can make on your heating bills will be very beneficial. One of our clients from last year said “we installed our burner last October and the savings we made on our heating costs were substantial”. “We found a local supplier of matured logs at a good price and the savings followed”.

A great green heating solution with renewable fuel source

The “green aspect”  of using a renewable source of heating in your home hardly needs explanation. Our Wood burning Stoves use Wood because it’s an easily obtained renewable fuel source. There’s a zero-sum impact in carbon emission as well. When a tree falls in the woods and takes 50 years to completely rot away, ever so slowly it gives off heat, water and CO2, and leaves its mineral content in the forest.

When you burn wood the exact same thing happens only obviously much more quickly. No additional by-products are produced at all, basically replicating natures actions at a greater pace. Read more

Big in Europe, but still largely untried by many fire users in the UK – particularly in the south – those selling them claim that once you have tried briquettes, you’ll never go back to hauling piles of logs off your drive. Read more
