How Do I Fit A Stove ?

Do you have an open fireplace that you want to upgrade?

Is the chimney in good order?

Installing a new woodstove in the fireplace can enhance your heating efficiency and lower your energy costs.

However, it is essential to remember, above all else, the following considerations:

Seasoning your logs is vital for heat efficiency

To dry wood effectively, stack it in open, covered spaces where sun and wind can reach it. Storing wood in a shed, garage, or shaded area slows seasoning. However, pre-seasoned wood from a supplier can be stored anywhere dry.

Nothing will cause your stove to function less efficiently than to fill it with green wood!!

Wood burning stoves offer homeowners superior radiant heat, warming spaces more quickly and efficiently than vent systems that circulate warm air.

A wood stove radiates heat from all sides and the top, warming your home in every direction. Placed centrally, it can quickly make the entire house feel much warmer.

Alternative heat and money saving into the bargain!

Wood burning stoves can be used as an excellent alternative to the main central heating system in your home. Instead of turning up the thermostat try lighting the burner and you will be able to reduce the thermostat in a cold spell.

If your home is well insulated and draught free you could even leave doors open, and the log burner will heat assist all-round the house.
