Stay warm and save money this year

With colder weather reportedly on its way, how do you stay warm? More likely than not it’s by turning up the central heating.

However, a growing number of people are opting for renewable heating sources instead such as wood burning stoves.

These claim to not only be good for the environment but also a way to cut the cost of your energy bills plus add value to your property. Estate agents will tell you that a house with a wood burning stove usually adds value to the property.

But are they just a fad or can you make some real savings?

The savings of using a wood burning stove.

 There has been a big increase in sales of wood burning stoves lately, both for adding character to a home and adding value to your property – some experts say they could add as much 5% .

The demand for wood burning stoves is still strong. The major trend that has emerged over the past few years is the growing popularity of stoves in urban areas. In the past, these kinds of stoves were mainly sold in rural areas but now we are seeing a rise in sales in towns and cities.

A stove is a highly efficient source of heat – delivering more than 80% efficiency in many cases. The current generation of stoves are clean and very easy to use and control.

A wood burning stove is 77 per cent cheaper to run than an electric fire, 29% cheaper per kW than a gas effect fire, and 43% and 40% cheaper than an oil and LPG fire respectively.
