Do Woodburning Stoves Save You Money ?

Saving money?
Most people don’t get a wood burning stove for the cost benefits. Although there might be some saving in terms of money and carbon emissions, stoves are mostly attractive because they are cosy and homely. The best way to save money with a stove is to source your fuel as cheaply as possible – you may find that a local tree surgeon can help you with this.
Making best use
Clever use of your stove could help you make significant savings on your central heating. Using the stove to heat the living room during the evening and then opening the doors to the rest of the house at night often provides enough heat to do without central heating in the autumn and spring. Using a stove in the winter will also help to decrease your central heating usage, especially if you use thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) to heat other spaces selectively. The exact savings are difficult to calculate but reducing the use of your central heating (and replacing a fixed electric fire) can make a significant difference to your energy bill.
Safety and Expert advice
For your safety and to maximise efficiency, you should always have a professional install your wood/pellet burning appliance. A professional will carefully evaluate everything from your chimney to your floor protection. A certified professional can also help you select the best appliance to heat your home efficiently.
