Freestanding Wood Burner Tips Freestanding wood burners are a fantastic method to reduce electricity prices and also enjoy the warmth of a real fire. However, they can also be a source of pollutants It is therefore essential to follow proper wood burning tips. Choose from traditional wood stoves as well as pellet-fuel appliances. The flexibility of installation as well as the fuel type and the heating efficiency of each type differ. Efficient Heating If you have a wood burning stove that is properly operated, it will provide the most cost-effective heating for your home. This is because the heat is circulated throughout the home and is not emitted up the chimney. The amount of heat produced by the stove depends on the efficiency of its combustion and the insulation of your home. Modern wood burners have triple-air technology that offers thermal efficiency, a flame that is clean and controlled pattern of flame. This technology is offered in freestanding wood stoves and fireplaces inserts. They employ a metal channel which heats secondary air that feeds into the firebox above the flames. This gives the volatile gases in the smoke a greater oxygen supply and speeds up the burning. This leads to more heat and fewer particulates in the exhaust gasses. Wood stoves with catalytic combustor technology perform better than older stoves and eliminate the accumulation of flammable creosote deposits. Make sure you choose an EPA certified model for your wood-burning appliance to operate at its maximum efficiency. These stoves are made to meet the strictest standards for emissions and are a safe, effective way to heat your home. Think about the size of your house and whether you require a central heating system. EPA-certified freestanding wood stoves come in small medium and large sizes to fit the needs of different types of homes. Small stoves are great to heat a family room in smaller homes or cottages. Medium-sized stoves can also be used to heat a larger space and are often recommended for homes with older central furnaces. Large-sized stoves are the best choice for heating homes with larger open spaces and are an ideal choice for larger, leaky homes in cold climate zones. A wood-burning or pellet-burning stove must be installed by a certified professional to ensure proper ventilation and combustion. This helps reduce the amount of pollutants in the air and prevents carbon monoxide poisoning. A professional will also assess your home's insulation in order to ensure that the flue size is correct to maximize the heat output. Proper maintenance for a free-standing wood stove includes maintaining the glass clean and regularly cleaning the grate to eliminate soot and ash. This is particularly important since even a tenth of an inch of soot could reduce heat transfer by as much as 50%. Affordability Freestanding wood stoves are an affordable method of heating your home. You can choose from a variety of sizes and designs that will suit any space. Small stoves are suitable for heating up to 1,000 square feet while larger models can heat more than 3,000 square feet. There are also a variety of fuel types, from traditional hardwood to environmentally friendly pellets, and even recycled paper. Based on your budget and heating needs you can pick an stainless steel non-catalytic stove which will reduce maintenance costs or a catalytic stove made of cast iron that can maximize the efficiency of combustion and reduce emissions. You can be sure that a wood-burning stove is not only energy efficient, but also a renewable and sustainable source of heat. You can get 80percent efficiency in heating or more if you choose a wood-burning stove with EPA-certified technologies like Regency's Eco-Boost Triple Burn System. This means that you'll use one-third less fuel and make your home a healthier place for your family. A wood stove with an automatic ignition can save you money. Modern wood stoves with this feature come with a safety lock, and an easy to reach handle to light the fire. The patented technology also allows for easier maintenance of a consistent flame. Enjoy the dancing flames for a longer time when you have a fire that is lit faster and stays lit longer. Some people may want to avoid using a wood stove due to the additional expense associated with purchasing cordwood. Fireplaces & Stoves can cut and split a cord of wood for less than 70 dollars. This is significantly less than buying fossil fuels and transferring them or paying for electricity to run a generator. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to a wood stove, consider an energy-efficient stove like an ENERGY STAR wood stove or pellet burner. These appliances are available in a variety of stylish styles and meet or exceed EPA standards. The Stuv 16 has a sleek Scandinavian style that blends into any décor.
