Energy bills continue to increase alarmingly
The worrying thing is that fuel prices are lightly to continue to increase in the foreseeable future due to the weak pound and the ongoing Brexit chaos. It seems everybody looks to blame the “Brexit talks” but the fact is this really is affecting the value of the pound and therefore increases the cost of imported fuel. Recent figures show the UK is importing more energy than ever before from abroad so if the pound remains week it’s obvious prices will rise.
A solution?
Installing a wood burning stove could go a long way to help you reduce your energy bills, wood burning stoves are environmentally friendly. They come in all shapes, sizes and colours so there is bound to be one to fit your home’s needs. The wood burnt is UK sourced so exchange rates will not affect the price.
If you decided to install a stove it is recommended to have it done professionally for safety and peace of mind. One massive benefit that nearly always goes un-noticed is how the value of your property will increase. Any estate agent will tell you that a home with a professionally fitted eco-friendly stove is worth more than one that isn’t.
Installing a wood burning stove in your home will:
- Reduce energy bills
- Likely increase the value of your property
- Give you more control on heating your home
- Heating during power cuts
Wood to burn
Obviously with a stove a good supply of wood to burn is essential. The drier the wood is the better it will burn so matured wood is a must for efficiency. Some of the best timber to burn is Ash, Oak or Cherry due to their low water content. Storage can be an issue so make sure you have a dry area big enough to store your supply.
Just imagine if you could source a free supply of good timber just how much you could save year on year!
