Woodburning Stoves

Wood-burning stoves are a low-carbon energy source that is clean to heat your home. The latest models are in line with Ecodesign standards and have high efficiency ratings.

Some models have catalytic convertors that can ignite particulates and gases that have not been burned by a second combustion. They are a bit more costly to maintain, but they pay off with greater efficiency.

Efficient

Wood-burning stoves can be used to heat your home for a long period of time. This makes them an ideal alternative to other primary heat sources such as electric or gas furnaces.

You should, for example consider the size of your home and select a woodburning fireplace that has enough power to heat it. It is also important to take into account the insulation of your home. A more well-insulated home will require less power to heat it.

Certain woodburning appliances feature catalytic combustion, which allows for lower temperatures to be reached which results in less pollution and a reduction of creosote. This type of woodburning fireplace is usually more expensive, but can save you money on fuel.

Modern wood-burning stoves are designed to reduce air pollution and meet EPA standards. Older stoves might not be as efficient as they could be. A recent report by the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM) discovered that many EPA-certified wood-burning stoves release far more particles than the EPA estimates.

Certain states provide incentives to help replace old, polluting models with more efficient models. However, NESCAUM discovered that a number of these incentives may not have worked. The EPA will be reviewing the incentives and making changes. At present, the EPA requires wood burning stoves to produce no more than 2.5 grams of particle pollution per hour. This is less than what a diesel vehicle produces. Defra (UK's Department for 913875.xyz Environment Food and Rural Affairs) has similar emission limitations. In reality, Ecodesign compliant wood burning stoves emit just 38 percent of the particulates created by older stoves and open fires.

Clean

Woodburning stoves require regular maintenance and cleaning. There are three major areas that require attention: 913875 the firebox, the flue and the chimney. The firebox needs to be cleaned frequently and the ash removed. Use gloves when handling the ashes as they are hot.
