Cost

Wood stoves are a low-cost and sustainable method to heat your house. Modern wood stoves are EPA-certified and emit less pollution than other types of stoves. Unlike fireplaces, which only warm the room they are placed in they can be used to provide heat to larger areas. There are a myriad of heating stoves available, and many brands offer them at competitive cost. Some are even more energy efficient than others.

Although a wood-burning stove may be more expensive than a gas or electric model however the energy savings are well worth it. Wood stoves can save you up to 80% of heating expenses and is a great alternative to other types of heating systems. Certain models come with a blower that can increase the efficiency of the stove by up to 30%.

Depending on the type of stove you choose, you will need to buy a hearth pad, which is a fire/heat resistant pad that sits on top of the floor and extends out a few feet in all directions from the wood stove. This costs between $200 and $600, depending on the size of your stove. You will also need to install an outlet, which can cost up to $1,000. In addition, you will need smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which will add to the overall cost of the installation.

Most modern wood-burning stoves are made from plate steel. Plate steel is made up of mid- to low-grade carbon steel plates that have been welded together. Some are also constructed from cast iron which is a traditional construction material that was used to construct some of the earliest wood stoves.

The units are manufactured by a reputable company known as the UK's Stove Works. They have been in the business since 1976. These stoves are available in a variety of sizes and models. Some of their smaller stoves can be used to warm a pole building or garage, while other units are designed to heat homes as well as larger commercial structures. The most efficient models can produce up to 100,000 BTUs, which is enough to heat large buildings.

Energy Efficiency

Wood stoves are a great method of heating your home using a renewable and sustainable fuel. They are also very efficient in energy efficiency, and consume less fuel than an open flame. However, it is important to choose a stove with the right heating requirements for your home. The wrong size could result in under or over firing that can damage the stove and flue, but also causes fuel to be wasted. To determine the ideal size for your home, Declan Kingsley-Walsh, managing director at Morso suggests determining the area by measuring its dimensions, then dividing the area by 14.

Stove efficiency is determined by combustion and heat transfer. Combustion efficiency measures how much of the fuel you use to create heat, and heating transfer efficiency is the amount of heat actually expelled throughout the house. You can increase efficiency in a variety of ways such as installing a blower, or a chimney liner.

The latest stoves have been designed to be cleaner burning, releasing less pollutants and generating more warmth for your home. The stoves employ an advanced catalytic combustion system to keep the fire burning at lower temperatures and for longer increasing efficiency while reducing particles that are released. These appliances are certified by the EPA and typically carry an EPA sticker. The Drolet Wood stove, for example, has an efficiency of combustion of 71 percent and can heat up to 49,500 BTU per hour.

A new report has shown that wood burning stoves are the biggest source of small particle pollution. They produce between 38 percent and 17 percent of the total, with road transport responsible for only 13%.

The effects of exposure can be temporary, like coughing or feeling of being unwell but prolonged exposure may cause serious lung damage, and possibly premature death.

Wood-burning stoves are a significant cause of wintertime ambient air pollution. Studies have found that a residential wood stove produces more than six times as much PM10 and PM2.5 pollution as a modern heavy-duty truck. In communities in which wood burning stoves are common, programs to replace old stoves have led to significant reductions in ambient air pollution.
