Updating your home?

If you’re considering creating or redesigning your home this year, have you researched which features are essential for you? Apart from the appeal of a super new home do think about how you could improve the heating and in turn reduce costs.

There is nothing more magical for the family than gathering up the wood and settling down on the sofa, feet up, as the fire burns long into the evening.

Sales of wooding burning stoves are going to reach record levels this year and the future looks very bright and very warm indeed. If you read all the reports energy prices are increasing and continue to do so as the Brexit talks linger on. The pound remains weak and all the experts say this could continue for months to come as the UK faces an uncertain future.

A professionally fitted wood burning stove can save you hundreds on annual fuel bills but do make sure your new burner is suitable for your home. Many people tend to install without seeking professional advice, this is fine, but if you want to get total efficiency do seek advice from a qualified fitter. One thing is for sure, if you have a stove fitted and you are selling the buyer is likely to want to see a certified certificate for the installation of the stove.

Expensive?

Well, like everything else “you only get what you pay for” but on the whole buying and installing does not need to be prohibitive. If you are re-designing your home adding in a wood-stove to the budget will save you money in the longer term. It is really important to get professional advice as to what stove will meet your needs.
