MAIN ADVANTAGES OF WOOD BURNING STOVES

Despite the large number of options for modern heating systems, stove heating of premises is still quite popular. First of all, this is due to its profitability from a financial point of view. Heating with wood-burning stoves does not require energy consumption. Firewood, like coal, is currently the most affordable fuel.

Today sobe pe lem , of course, thanks to modern trends and technologies, have changed, acquired a more aesthetic appearance, they have increased efficiency, but the essence of wood-burning stoves has been preserved from which they have become even more popular.

This heating method will be especially beneficial for owners of garden plots and summer cottages outside the city. In houses that are located far from the gas main, heating stoves are indispensable. In addition to the fact that such a structure can heat the entire space in the house, you can still cook food on it.

If the house already has another heating system, the wood stove can be used as a backup heat source. Thus, in the event of a power outage, stove heating will help maintain the desired air temperature in the room.

If the house has several floors, and the stove is located on the first, it is enough just to leave the doors open. Warm air can thus rise upward. At the same time, there is no need to install radiators and pipe laying. And this, again, is a significant budget saving.

The presence of air traction is also important. Thanks to her, all combustion products safely leave the room. This fact is very important for maintaining the health and well-being of the residents. In addition, it is precisely the draft that contributes to the control of air humidity and the most efficient heat transfer.

For many, wood-burning stoves are of interest as an unusual element of the interior. Our ancestors used them for a long time. And in some villages they still cannot do without them. Thanks to this, such a design in the house will give a zest to the interior.

For most people, the main attraction of installing a wood-burning stove is the beauty of the flickering flame and the reassuring, cozy feeling of a real fire. However, wood-burning stoves have real advantages that make owners look for the basics, a person needs to feel safe and warm. 

Benefits of wood-burning stoves

Cost efficiency

With the rise in prices for electricity, gas and oil, heating has become expensive. New technologies such as photovoltaic cells and heat pumps are cutting these expensive heating bills, but they require large investments that only pay off in two to three decades. Wood stoves are cheaper to buy than new technologies, while wood fuel is very cost effective compared to electricity, gas and oil. A kilowatt of heat per hour costs about one-fifth of a kWh of electricity and about a third of a kWh of oil and gas.

Unique warmth

Wood logs give off a unique warmth, which makes the room much more comfortable than any other type of fuel. At the same time, the wood-burning stove generates heat long after it has gone out. This makes wood stoves unique compared to other types of heating, including open fires. They look very decorative and create a unique ambiance in the interior, however, an open fire has been shown to "feed" on warm air and make a room cooler rather than warmer.

Energy independence

Energy sources such as electricity, gas and oil should not be taken for granted. While gas and oil are not renewable energy resources, which means they will run out one day, electricity must be produced somehow to keep up with demand. To make matters worse, most of the world's electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, which, as mentioned earlier, are available in limited quantities. As a result, it is unrealistic to expect that prices for these energy sources will become lower in the future. Unlike electricity, oil and gas, fuelwood is a renewable energy source because trees felled for firewood can be easily replaced.

Environmental friendliness

Unlike fossil fuels, wood fuel does not contain carbon, which means wood stoves do not increase the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Wood logs give off carbon dioxide when burned, but the carbon from burning is neutralized by growing replacement trees. This is because trees absorb carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and give off pure oxygen.
