Heating bills hurting your budget?

Heating your home is a very costly exercise and the likelihood of it reducing in the near future is almost nil. Here’s a story that may inspire you.

“Last winter’s gas bills meant it was time to act. An engineer from Kent Stoves confirmed the idea was going to work well for us. We got the old gas fire and pipework removed, measured up our fireplace and started looking for a stove that would fit our relatively small fireplace”.

“We did our homework and got Kent Stoves advice as to the correct wood burner we would need to heat our living area”.

“Three months on, we have slashed our gas and electricity consumption. Although it is a bit early to say with certainty, I estimate we will have cut our bills by £300-£350 this year. We should recoup the cost of the stove and its installation in under three years. Crucially, we have found a local joinery from which we source our wood, so we are now burning waste wood that would otherwise be destined for landfill”.

“Meanwhile, we have upgraded the loft insulation – prompted by another article, of course. And, if we keep the stove going all day, it heats the entire house. We still use the central heating to heat the bedrooms if it’s very cold”.

A wood-burning stove can save you an awful lot of money and are relatively easy to maintain.
