Take action and cut your energy bills

As the cost of electricity, oil and gas remains sky high and is increasing, heating a property as we all know can be extremely expensive. Have you considered installing a wood burning stove? If not, you could very well be missing out on a much cheaper form of heating.

Although the initial cost of a wood burner may be more than a gas fire, it will certainly save you money in the long run. When used efficiently, a kilowatt of heat per hour costs about one fifth of kWh of electricity and about one third of kWh of oil and gas. So, as you can see the installation cost can soon be recouped.

Wood burners look decorative and they have a certain magnetic quality. They are great for winter social and family gatherings at home bringing a certain ambiance to the home.

What’s next? Well first thing to do is get expert advice. Selecting and installing the wrong wood burner will be very costly and as you want to save money this makes no sense.

Good for the environment

Compared with using fossil fuels for heat (natural gas, propane, coal, etc.) wood is eco-friendlier. It’s considered “carbon-neutral,” which means when it burns, it doesn’t add additional carbon dioxide to the environment. This is because in its natural state as a tree, wood absorbs carbon dioxide that’s in the atmosphere. During combustion, a balance is maintained. This argument alone makes installing a log burner a very viable option to enhance the beauty and warmth of your home.
