Wood, carbon neutral, low cost and environmentally friendly fuel. Wood is a carbon neutral fuel as the CO2 released during burning is no more than would be released by simply letting the tree rot. From properly managed sources, the cutting of firewood is done so as to encourage fresh growth in surrounding trees.
Wood is definitely the fuel for the future. With prices of gas, oil and electric ever increasing and everyone becoming more and more environment conscious wood burning stoves and wood pellet boilers are becoming ever more popular. Modern technology has enabled the production of a new generation of wood-fuelled boilers that use clean, convenient chips and pellets, and which are easy to use and economical to operate. Chip and pellet fuel is made from waste wood and other scraps, so is environmentally and economically sound. Even buying packaged, kiln dried wood is far cheaper Kw for Kw of heat than gas.

Modern Wood burning stoves incorporate the latest clean burn technologies and not only look great but will heat your home very efficiently, using clean, convinient chips and pellets, which are typically made from recycled sawdust. Burning wood is a very cost effective way of heating your home whilst being environmentally friendly. The cost of a new stove and its attendant flue should be compared to the savings you can make in heating. Some stoves have optional back-boilers making it even more flexible, capable of heating a whole house through an existing series of radiators or providing hot running water. |

Environmentally Friendly
Burning wood and therefore wood burning stoves is one of the most environmentally friendly ways of heating your home, this is due to the fact that timber is a carbon neutral fuel. Timber absorbs as much carbon dioxide when it is growing as it does when it is burnt. Therefore, leaving the timber to rot would release the same amount of carbon dioxide if left to rot as when it burnt.
The wood pellets used for wood pellet boilers themselves are made from the by-products of sawmills and although the process is more convoluted than simply collecting firewood they are also carbon neutral.
Not only is heating with wood environmentally friendly, but may also save you money because timber for fuel is typically up to 30% cheaper than gas and oil, with prices set to continue to rise. In addition to this timber is usually sourced in local areas, thus reducing transport miles and associated emmissions.
