I Want A Log Burner !
I want a Log Burner ! Heating bills set to increase yet again!!!
It is being muted that fuel bills are set to rise significantly yet again
The price rises are expected to be in the region of between 7% and 16%, at least for electricity. Which means your energy bills could take a definite hit.
The impact on a typical household bill could be an extra £250-£600 plus a year.
Research shows that an average family are spending over £200 per month just heating a 3-bedroomed house. Just imagine this increasing by 10% and how that will affect your family budget.
Now is the time to explore the alternatives and save money!!
A wood burning stove could be the answer to reducing these potential rises, stove sales are at the highest we have ever seen for this time of year as homeowners prepare for the future.
A wood burning stove is a highly efficient source of heat delivering over 80% economy in many cases.
Reasons To Want A Log Burner
The new generation of stoves are clean and extremely easy to use making them a must for the majority of homes. A wood burner can be up to 75% cheaper to run than an electric heater and 29% cheaper than a gas effect fire.
Only burn mature logs – Vital for heat and efficiency.
Wood is a far more environmentally friendly fuel than oil, gas and electricity. And subject to far less price rises. Freshly cut wood contains a lot of water, so you should dry it out before you can burn it. This can take as long as 18-24 months.
It is very unwise to burn wet or unseasoned wood as this will cause a soot build up in your chimney and make your burner very dirty.
