Efficiency and a fashion statement

Installing a wood burner could be a very wise move.

There is a large range of wood burning stoves to choose from, ranging in price from £500 to more than £2,000. 

A key consideration is how much heat it will pump out. Years ago you had to live in the countryside to enjoy a wood burner, but technological improvements mean they can also provide a great heating solution in many town and city homes.

New environmental standards for particle emissions come into force in 2022 aimed at creating a cleaner atmosphere.  Already, stove manufacturers are rolling out eco-friendly burners with a Stove Industry Alliance Eco Design-ready stamp of approval. These reduce particle emissions by 90% compared to an open fire and 80% compared to an old-style stove.

Facts

• A fireplace and professionally fitted wood stove can add as much as 5% to the value of your home, thanks to its wow factor.
• A modern wood burner is more efficient than many central heating systems and far more appealing to look at than a traditional white radiator. 
• According to reports, regular use of a wood burner can knock a third off fuel bills, providing savings of at least £650 a year.
