New Year’s Resolution

Treat Your Home To A New Wood Stove! Essentials:

Quality installation is fundamental to your wood burner’s performance and safety. We recommend that you have your wood burner installed by a certified fitter (HETAS Registered).

Follow these guidelines for economy and efficiency

As well as the making sure your new stove will physically fit into its new home, it is important to consider that the stove’s output is sufficient for the room. You should also ensure that it is not too large for the room, as this can cause just as many problems as a stove that is too small.

A stove that is too small for the room will not be powerful enough to heat the room adequately, on the other hand, if you have a stove that is too large it will need constant attention to keep the temperature down. A result of this is the combustion within the stove will not be complete and you will quickly have a build-up of soot not just on the glass, but up the chimney as well.

Calculating the required output.

You should always allow a slightly greater output (no more than 1.5kW), as there will be a greater need for rapid heating in the long dark cold months of winter.

Stoves these days come in all shapes and sizes so there is bound to be one that fits your requirements.

Good for the environment

Burning wood from sustainable forests is carbon neutral. While trees are growing, they capture carbon dioxide from the air. This carbon dioxide is released either when the wood is burnt, or when the tree dies and rots. Some emissions are produced in the transporting and processing of the wood. This is only a very small amount per unit of heat produced.
