Popular Wood Burners

Popularity of wood burners keeps growing and growing.
Wood burning stoves have become incredibly popular over the last few years, and it is easy to see why.
With spiraling energy costs, people are keen to find ways to save money. Not only do wood burners save money, but they also create a warm feeling to a home.
Stoves can be used as an alternative to the main heating in a home, they really are an excellent supplementary heating system. When we get really cold spells and the central heating isn’t enough, or you don’t want to turn it on full blast, a stove is a fantastic form of supplement heat.
Why install?
People tend to spend most of their time in one room – the living room, and as such a lot of the heating costs are focused here. Therefore, if you can use a cheaper form of heating in just this location, then the costs of the central heating and additional heating should fall considerably.
How much cheaper is it?
Well, the cost of wood logs is obviously variable, depending on your source and where you live. Some people have access to free wood from gardens and the local area, which is fantastic – this essentially means once you have installed the wood burner, you can heat your home for free!!
Remember electricity costs are upwards of 18.9p/kWh, so installing a word burner, with fuel costs of just 3.85p/kWh is about 4-5 times cheaper.
