Fireplaces Wood Burning Stoves

Wood stoves are elegant and modern, and they are a perfect match for a variety of home styles. They are a powerful source of heat and radiate warmth throughout the entire room.

Modern wood-burning stoves are EPA certified for their high heating efficiency and reduced particle emissions. The efficiency can be improved by operating the air controls in a correct manner.

Energy Efficiency

Wood stoves are a energy-efficient source of heat and can be a great addition to your home's current heating system. Moreover, they are very efficient heaters with some models being almost as efficient as a furnace or oil-burning appliances. Modern stoves are designed to extract the maximum heat out of each piece of wood that is burned. This means that you don't have to buy the same amount of wood and can have a warm fire all winter long.

Stoves that have been certified by the EPA burn extremely cleanly and reduce emissions and waste by burning longer and using less fuel. This is in contrast to older fireplaces which use open flames or combustion. The waste fuels pollute air and cause dust contamination in your home.

The EPA certification of your wood stove assures that it complies with the highest standards for safety and efficiency. You may also be eligible for tax credits for the purchase of a stove with EPA certification. This can allow you to save money and lower your energy costs.

A wood stove can help you cut out the big energy companies and any monopolies they may have in your area, releasing you from their erratic prices for gas and electricity. Although you will still need to pay for wood but the price fluctuations should be less than those that you would face in the event of relying on a utility company.

Another benefit of heating your home using wood stoves is that it performs well during power outages. You can keep your home warm in the event that the power goes out during a snow storm by using a wood stove to warm your living space and kitchen. In certain situations you can use the chimney of the wood stove to let hot water into a hot-water storage tank in your house for more heat.

If your wood-burning stove isn't insulated, it could be losing heat from the room and causing drafts in the house. You can fix this problem by putting in an insulated wood stove liner to your fireplace. This will not only save you energy, but also improve the longevity of your stove as it stops heat from going through the chimney.

Cleanliness

Wood stoves can be a great way for you to conserve energy while remaining warm. However, they generate a lot soot. Cleaning your stove is crucial to ensure that your home stays 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 proper air flow. This will also make it safer to use.

The ash pan must be cleaned out. This is the first step towards cleaning your stove. 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 andirons or grates, you can clean them with brushes and brooms, and then dispose of the ashes in the same manner. Afterward, wipe down the stove's front as well as any other surfaces you wish to clean using a soft cloth. You could also take the occasion to clean your ash tray or re-line it with new liners that are available at the local hardware store.

After cleaning your stove, you will need to remove any creosote left on the walls of your fireplace. This is best done with a hard-bristled broom, starting as high up as you can before moving downwards. If you own an air-tight vacuum cleaner that has an attachment with a hard-bristled bristle, you can use this to clean up the soot that is loose.

It is also recommended to clear any obstructions in your chimney if necessary. This could be twigs, branches fruits, leaves or even nesting materials for small animals. (These animals are known to nest inside chimneys and stove pipes!) Depending on where you live your chimney may be prone to debris from the wind such as leaves or sand.

It is recommended to have your chimney checked every year and to replace your catalytic filters every 1-4years. It is also recommended that you get your chimney cleaned professionally should it be required. These routine tasks can aid in preventing burning and harmful gases like carbon monoxide from escaping your home.

Convenience

A wood burning stove provides warmth and a warm ambience that electric or gas fireplaces cannot match. If it's freestanding or installed into the wall, there are plenty of designs and styles to fit your home. There's nothing better than curling in front of a warm fireplace on an icy winter night in the southeast region of NY.

A wood stove can help you save money on your energy bills. It's also a good choice when you reside in a smoke control area (most of London and many other major cities are).

Stoves can be utilized as a primary heating source or to supplement your heating system. The amount of heat they generate is dependent on the size of the room, how fast the fire burns, and the amount of air flow around it. If you plan to make use of your stove to heat your home, you should be aware of the quality and type of logs you buy.

The purchase of wood from local sources is a great way to cut costs and lower the carbon footprint of your stove. However, splitting, stacking and hauling logs can be a significant time consuming and back ache if you don't have the right equipment. This is why many people opt to install log burners in their homes as a practical alternative to collecting and chopping wood for heating requirements.

Modern wood stoves are designed to be more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional open fires. They must meet emissions regulations of the government and come with a catalytic combustion system which helps keep the wood burning for longer, start the combustion at lower temperatures and reduces pollutants.

You'll still need to keep your stove in good condition. This means emptying the all ash from the bottom of the stove, having the flue and chimney inspected as well as cleaning the glass door and making sure there are enough dry logs to fuel it. But, these requirements for maintenance are lower than what you'd have to pay for energy to run your heating system.

A wood stove could be dangerous for pets and children, who may get too close to the flame. A stray ember could cause them to burn if they touch the flames or the glass of your stove. If you have children or pets we strongly recommend putting up a safety gate to your fireplace and keeping them away from the fire.

Aesthetics

Fireplaces wood burning stoves add an elegant ambiance to a room. They become the focal point in the room when dressed up with a beautiful mantle. A masonry fire place built using bricks, stacked stone and veneers can be stunning. Freestanding stoves also offer many options for homeowners who want to find the right style for their home and budget.

Clean the chimney regularly to remove any particulates. These particulates can re-ignite and cause fires to be dangerous. They also can block the chimney, which is dangerous and can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Regular use of fireplaces requires a constant supply. This can be time-consuming and expensive to maintain.

Stoves don't need to be swept or cleaned as often as fireplaces. This saves homeowners time and money, in addition to removing the need for a fireplace liner. Stoves don't produce the same amount of carbon monoxide as fireplaces. They only produce a tiny amount, which is pushed out into the air by hot gases.

Wood stoves have a closed combustion chamber so sparks do not pose the same risk to children and pets that fireplaces do. However, it is recommended to install screens and/or doors for both fireplaces and stoves as sparks can still fly from the flame and cause injury and property damage. In addition, stoves should be kept a stated distance away from combustible materials like wallpaper and plasterboard.

The EPA has established emission standards that limit the amount of pollution a new stove is allowed to create per hour. The EPA also requires that chimneys be cleaned once every year to ensure that they are in good condition and do not have any cracks. In addition a chimney liner must be installed to ensure that the flue vents properly.

The environmental benefits of a wood burning fireplace stove are numerous. Wood is a sustainable, renewable energy source that can be harvested and cultivated in a reasonable amount of time. Oak, hickory, and cherry are some of the trees that can be used as firewood. The process of cutting down and transforming the wood into firewood only takes between 20 and 30 years. It's also a sustainable resource since after the tree has been cut down, it can be planted again.
