5 Reasons you need a wood burner

August 28, 2022

Why are wood burners becoming even more popular in the New Forest

Why do you need a wood burner in your home and your life? 


Whilst wood burners may seem like a traditional approach to heating your home, they have recently seen a huge rise in popularity, particularly in the New Forest and surrounding areas. So, why is this? What has made wood burners become so popular


Wood burning stoves are better for the environment:


Along with being kinder to the environment, using a wood burner means you don’t have to rely on your usual heating methods. This, in turn, reduces your energy usage and bills. This is excellent news within your typical day-to-day life, but given the current climate we find ourselves in and how the energy prices are rising and rising, this is even better for us all. 


You don't have to worry about a power cut with a wood burning stove:


Have you ever been in a power cut and worried about how you can heat or light up your home? If you have one, you will already see the benefit of having a wood burner. They don’t need electricity or gas to work, which means that even if something happens outside of your home that you cannot control, you know that you will be able to still feel comfortable in your own home. 


Wood burners look and feel great


There is no better feeling than getting home after a busy or cold day and being able to fire up your wood burner. Not only does this help you to warm up, but it also helps you to feel ready to snuggle up and enjoy the rest of your evening. Ideal if it has been a tough one. 


Wood burners aren't as expensive as you think


One worry many people have when it comes to wood burning stoves is that they have to be expensive. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. They will come at a cost, and you need to be ready to pay a few hundred pounds to buy a good quality one, but this is an investment rather than something costly. 


Not only this, but they are designed to be efficient too in their fuel consumption, which means that you don’t have to use too much fuel, and then there will be lower maintenance as they are used to.
