Sales are increasing as domestic fuel prices keep rising

In total, over 265,000 wood-burners were installed last year, according to the Stove Industry Alliance. This is up from 200,000 in 2017.

Wood-burning stoves are generally installed for a reason, such as a secondary heating supply or to save money. There is a percentage who have them installed because they are fashionable and these days this combination is normal.

Fuel costs as we all know are increasing rapidly with electricity and gas prices leading the way.

Why are they so popular?

Wood-burners have become a sought-after design statement during the past decade.

A professionally installed burner can increase the value of your home, estate agents will tell you that a home with a log burner is very sought after.

Wood stove advantages

Wood is an inexpensive fuel source. It costs less per BTU than oil, gas or electricity and can save hundreds of £££££’s on your utility bills each year. Just imagine the savings if you can source your own wood for burning.
