Saving money on your energy costs with a woodburning stove

September 25, 2022

Insulate yourself against rising energy costs with a woodburning stove!

It goes without saying that rising energy costs are a concern for many of us. Unfortunately, even with the cap, energy prices are rising, and this will have a significant impact. 


This issue has meant that many people now need to find ways to try and cut down their energy costs; of course, the easiest thing to do is to limit how much energy we use, but this isn't going to be an option for many people, especially as we enter winter.


Will a wood burning stove save you money? 


A woodburning stove or log burner is a very effective way to heat your home. It can provide almost instant heat and fuel, whether logs or multi fuel bricks are relatively cheap when compared to gas and electricity prices, even before the price rises due in October. 


While installing a new wood burner does come with a cost, both for the stove and the installation. However, these costs aren't as much as many people expect. There are many options for woodburning stoves to suit almost any budget.


Is your home suitable for a woodburning stove?


Many people think woodburning stoves are only suitable for older or larger properties. However, Woodburners have come a long way in recent years and many stylish and contemporary models are available. 


Not all wood burners are the same, there are many different options and styles available. Some will only burn wood or logs, while others will burn a variety of fuels. 


At New Forest Fires, we have fitted Log burners and stoves into many different types of properties, from small terrace houses to large detached properties in Brockenhurst as well as many pubs and restaurants around The New Forest. So regardless of your property's size, style, or your budget, there will be a woodburner suitable for you.


Not only can you choose from a variety of modern stoves, which will fit in with the design of your home, but installation can also be quick and easy too. 


You can see a few of the different types of wood burners that we have installed below.
