Records broken in 2018

Sales of wood burning stoves are increasing year on year but last year saw really exceptional growth with a massive 41% growth compared to the previous 12 months.

The increases are surely down to the looming Brexit situation and the weaker pound, with the weak pound any fuel imported costs a great deal more resulting in our heating bills increasing.

Homeowners have responded to these increases by looking for alternative forms of heating and a log burner is very high on the wish list.

A wood burning stove not only looks good and performs to exceptional levels it can increase the value of your property.

Considerations.

With the winter months drawing to a close now is a very good time to get planning for the next.

Freezing cold temperatures, power cuts, cracked pipes and cancelled repairs… Sound familiar? When you have a wood burning stove installed you have a reliable form of heating that is not dependent on electricity or other forms of modern technologies.

If you burn the right wood your stove will be environmentally friendly, for example seasoned wood rather than varnished scrap wood, the process is carbon neutral.

This means wood burning stoves do not increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Wood logs do emit carbon dioxide when they are burned, but this is then neutralised by growing replacement trees.
