Fireplaces Wood Burning Stoves

Wood stoves are elegant modern design that is a perfect match for a wide variety of home designs. They are a powerful heating source and can radiate heat throughout the room.

Modern wood-burning stoves are EPA certified for their efficiency in heating and less particle emissions. By correctly controlling the air controls you can improve the efficiency of your stove.

Energy Efficiency

Wood stoves are a great source of heat that can be used to complement your heating system. Additionally, they are extremely efficient heaters, with some models nearly as efficient as your furnace or oil-burning appliance. Modern stoves are designed to maximize the heat generated by each piece of wood. This means you won't need to purchase as much wood and you can enjoy an ambiance of warmth throughout winter.

Stoves that are EPA-certified are extremely clean and reduce waste and emissions by allowing the fire to burn for longer with less fuel. This is different from older fireplaces which use open flames or combustion. The waste fuels emit dust and pollute the air, causing pollution in your home.

The EPA certification of your wood stove guarantees that it complies with the highest standards for safety and efficiency. You may also be eligible for tax credits for the purchase of an approved stove. This will allow you to save money and reduce your energy bills.

Wood stoves can save you the high prices of electricity and gas that are that energy companies charge. You'll still need to pay for your wood supply however the price fluctuations are likely to be less pronounced than the price hikes you'd face when you rely on an energy company.

A wood stove can also be used to heat your home during power outages. It is possible to keep your home warm in the event that the power goes off in a snowstorm by using a wood stove to warm your kitchen and living area. In some cases, you can use the chimney of the wood stove to let hot water into a hot-water storage tank in your home to provide more warmth.

If your wood-burning stove isn't properly insulated it may be leaking heat from the room and causing drafts within the home. You can easily solve this issue by adding an insulation-proof wood stove liner to your fireplace. This will not only save you energy, but it will prolong the life of your stove because it prevents heat from escape through the chimney.

Cleanliness

It is crucial to keep your stove clean in order to keep your home safe and healthy. To do this, you should clean your stove at least once a week and your chimney at least once a year. Keep your stove clean to ensure that it has the proper air flow. It will also make it safer to use.

The first step in cleaning your stove is to clean out the ash pan. This is done by scooping up the ashes into a dustpan and then putting them in a non-combustible trash bin or bin. If your fireplace is equipped with grates or andirons you can clean them with the broom and brush and dispose of the ashes in the same way. Then, use a soft cloth to wipe the front of your stove and any other surfaces you'd like to clean. You can also use the opportunity to clean your ash trays or re-line it with new liners that are available at the local hardware store.

Once your stove is cleaned, the next step is to sweep away any creosote that remains on the walls of your fireplace. You can use a broom that has hard bristles to do this. Start as high as you can and work your way down. If you have a vacuum cleaner with an attachment that is hard-bristled you can use it to get rid of the soot that is loose.

If necessary, you should remove any obstructions that may be blocking your chimney. This could include twigs branches, leaves, fruit or even the nesting materials of small animals (which are often found nesting in chimneys and stove pipes!). Depending the location you live in your chimney could be prone to debris from the wind such as leaves or sand.

It is also recommended to have your chimney inspected every year, and to replace the catalytic filters each year for a period of 1-4 years. It is also recommended to have your chimney cleaned by a professional when necessary. These routine tasks can help prevent burning and harmful gasses like carbon monoxide from getting into your home.

Convenience

Wood burning stoves create warmth and a warm atmosphere that gas or electric fireplaces aren't able to compete with. If it's freestanding or installed into the wall, there are a variety of designs and styles to fit your home. There is nothing better than cuddling up with a crackling fireplace on the cold winter nights in southeast NY.

Having a wood stove can help reduce your energy bills. It's a good option if you live in an area that is smoke-free (most of London and a number of other cities).

Stoves are a great option to heat your home. They can be used either as the primary source of heating or as a supplementary source of heating. The amount of heat that they generate is contingent on the size and air flow of the room. If you're considering using your stove as your primary source of heat it is essential to think about the type and quality of logs you purchase.

Locally-sourced wood can help you cut your costs and also reduce the carbon footprint of your stove. However, splitting, stacking and hauling logs is a significant time consuming and back breaking task if you don't have the right equipment. Many people opt for the use of a log heater at their home to avoid the frustration of collecting, chopping and storing wood.

Modern wood stoves are more efficient and green than traditional open fires. This means that they need to meet government regulations on emissions and also have catalytic combustor that helps to keep the wood burning for longer and starts the combustion at a lower temperature, and reduces the amount of pollution.

You'll still need to keep your stove in good condition. This includes removing out the ash that has been accumulated in the stove, having your flue and chimney checked, cleaning the glass door, and making sure that there are enough dry logs to fuel the stove. The maintenance requirements are less than the energy costs to run your heating system.

One of the major disadvantages to having wood stoves is that it presents an issue of safety for pets and children who wander too close to the flames. A stray ember can burn them if they touch the flames or the glass of your stove. If you have children or pets, we highly recommend adding an extra safety gate to your fireplace and keeping your pets away from the fire.

Aesthetics

Wood burning stoves can provide a beautiful ambience to any room. When dressed up with an elegant mantel and stunning tiling, they can be the focal point of a living space. A masonry fire place built from bricks, stacked stones and veneer can look amazing. Alternatively, freestanding stoves offer numerous options for homeowners trying to find the right style for their space and budget.

Fireplaces should be swept frequently to remove dust and other particles from the chimney. These particles are dangerous as they could ignite again, causing fires. They can also block the chimney which is dangerous and can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. In addition, regular use of fireplaces requires an ongoing supply of wood. This can be costly and time consuming to maintain.

Stoves don't have to be cleaned or swept as often as fireplaces. This can save homeowners time and money, as well as eliminating the need for a fireplace liner. Additionally, stoves do not produce the same poisoning of carbon monoxide as fireplaces do. They only produce a small amount of carbon monoxide which is released into the atmosphere by hot gases as the fire burns.

Wood stoves have a closed combustion chamber so sparks do not pose the same danger to children or pets as fireplaces do. Nevertheless, it is recommended to install screens and/or doors for both fireplaces and stoves as sparks can still fly out of the fire and cause injury and property damage. Stoves must also be kept at a specific distance from combustible substances like wallpaper and plasterboard.

The EPA has set emission standards that limit how much pollution a new stove will create per hour. The EPA demands that chimneys are swept at least once a year to ensure that they're in good condition and free of cracks. A chimney liner is also recommended to ensure that the flue is vented properly.

The benefits for the environment of a wood stove are many. Wood is an environmentally friendly renewable energy source that can be harvested and cultivated in a reasonable amount of time. Hickory, oak, and cherry are some of the trees that can be used as firewood. The process of cutting down and processing the wood into firewood takes 20-30 years. It's also a resource that is sustainable because once the tree has been cut down it can be replanted again.
