Wood burners are in Demand

Wood burners are in demand!!

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

They can provide a sense of charm and ambience to a property. Modern wood-burning stoves give your home that warm heart as you sit around with friends and family on winter evenings.

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.

Ever more popular this year.

In total, over 300,000 wood-burners have been installed this year, according to the Stove Industry Alliance. This is up from 247,000 in 2022.

Fuel costs, as we all know, are increasing rapidly with electricity and gas prices leading the way. Installing a wood burner will help keep these rises in check.

HETAS approval

Poorly installed stoves do pose very real risks from carbon monoxide poisoning to house fires and smoke inhalation. All of which can have devastating and fatal consequences.

It is recommended to use a HETAS qualified fitter to install any wood burning appliance for safety and insurance purposes.

Long term maintenance

A stove is not a “fit and forget” product. As such the burner itself may need very little maintenance but without regular cleaning soot builds up in the flue. This can cause chimney fires. It is highly recommended to have your burner cleaned and serviced at least once a year for safety and peace of mind.
