Save Money on your Heating Bill this coming Winter

Save Money on your heating bill this coming winter. Installing a wood burner in your home could save you in the long term a great deal of money. The savings will depend on how efficient your new stove is and the fuel you use.

Crucial – Burning wood with 20% or less moisture will minimise pollutants and increase efficiency. Kiln-dried wood has less than 20% moisture but is more expensive than seasoned logs.

Most stove owners burn seasoned logs, and 23% of the owners told us they collect free wood from local resources.
Just imagine the savings you could make if you could source your own wood to burn free.
A higher-efficiency stove should save you more and potentially cut pollution. New efficient stoves reduce potentially harmful particle emissions by more than 80%, compared with stoves from 10 years ago, according to the Stove Industry Alliance.

Not only are wood stoves becoming more eco-friendly, but they’re also more efficient. This means that more heat is used to heat your home rather than being expelled up the chimney.
An open fire loses as much as 75-80% of the heat through the chimney, making them incredibly inefficient at heating homes.
Is your existing stove older than 10 years?
Older stoves will also have a lower efficiency rating, so if you want to ensure you’re getting more heat into your home, then a new stove would be a wise move. Not only is a more efficient stove better for your wallet as you’re spending less on fuel, but it’s also better for the environment.
