Find Out How A Wood Burner Can Result In Significant Savings On Your Monthly Electricity Bill

Find Out How Fitting A Wood Burner In Your House Can Result In Significant Savings On Your Monthly Electricity Bill While Keeping Your House Warm And Comfortable All Winter Long If you are looking for an efficient, cost-effective way to heat your home, you may want to consider fitting a wood burner stove. It is ideally suited for England's cold winter months and guarantees to provide heat whilst providing a wonderful ambiance and a sense of comfort.

Wood burners are not called the soul of a house for nothing - they form an integral part of the entire setup of a house. Professional stove fitters will help you choose the right fireplace for your home, and the rules for caring for it are pretty simple too. While many stoves are custom made, others are premanufactured by well-known brands and are ready to be installed in any type of house.

For new builds, installing a fireplace or stove is the next step after the doors and windows have been installed in the building. Fitting a wood burner may not be the easiest option after the house has already been completed, so it is recommended that you contact a reliable and recognised stove fitter as soon as you are ready to have a new house built.

A wood-burning fireplace can provide warmth and comfort to your house, but proper installation is very important when installing a wood burner. With good planning and preparation, you can create a safe place where you and your family can enjoy the benefits of a warm fireplace throughout the cold winter months. It is recommended that you find a qualified and experienced stove fitter for the job.

Decide what type of wood-burning fireplace will best suit the needs of your family. Be sure to browse through some examples that are available on leading stove fitters’ websites and do thorough research.

Now decide on the place where you want to have it installed, but remember, not all places are suitable for installing a wood burner. Many factors need to be considered, such as the traffic around the fireplace, especially if there are small children involved, and whether there is a pre-existing chimney

installed or not. If not, a reputable and registered stove fitter can also provide this as part of his professional service.

Wood burning fireplaces work by burning wood, but they direct the smoke in and out through a chimney or ductwork. Fitting a wood burner in your house will also require a source of continuous air to maintain the desired fire level, which is known as combustion. Without a sufficient flow of oxygen, the fire will however die, which is why the correct installation process is required.

Hot air from within and around the fireplace will always rise and it then moves through the flue inside the chimney or ductwork, to the outside of the house. A few ways to improve flue efficiency is to fit a locking mechanism known as a damper that is used to shut off the chimney when not in use.

When fitting a wood burner, the installer should explain and demonstrate its workings, but remember, it should be open when you start the fire, to allow the smoke to escape to the outside of the house. In some cases, this is achieved with a lever that is on and just inside the flue. For optimal use, additional wood needs to be added to the fire frequently along with the removal of partially burned or charred pieces - to make room for fresh wood.

When it comes to wood burners for your home, there are numerous options to choose from and if you are unsure which one is going to work best for your setup, you should first discuss it with the installer.

Fitting a wood burner can provide endless comfort, provided you choose the right burner. Installing folding glass doors across the front of your fireplace may also be something you might consider retaining heat inside the room.

While wood burners could result in significant savings on your monthly electricity bill, you need to be realistic about the price of fireplaces and installation costs. You can ask the stove fitting company to conduct a survey of your house and provide you with an estimate, which will allow you to work out a budget.
