Wood burning stove sales reach new peaks
The sales of wood burning stoves have been rising for a good many years, but now sales are hitting all new levels. This year sales and installations to date are 58% higher than the same period last year. Increased sales are attributed to ever rising energy bills and the homeowner looking to reduce heating bills.
Wood burners also have other benefits including giving a room an ambience and correctly fitted could well increase the value of your property.
Stoves are more efficient
As great as open fires are they are not energy efficient and only give approximately 20% output. Wood burning stoves are much more efficient, at around 70-90%, so you get all the benefits of a real fire without most of your money going up the chimney!
Use a registered installer
To ensure you get the maximum benefit from your new wood stove it is vitally important to have it fitted correctly.
The installation of a wood burner must comply with building regulations and the easiest way to do this is to use a qualified fitter.
HETAS-registered installers deal with wood, solid-fuel and biomass domestic heating appliances and can self-certify that their work complies with building regulations, so it’s safe and legal.
