The Benefits of Wood Stoves A wood burning stove will create a cozy and warm ambience in any space. There is no longer a need for standard smoke billowing fireplaces though there are new regulations in place. The latest DEFRA Smoke Exempt appliances have lower emissions levels and allow you to use a log burner in any UK smoke control zone. However, they are responsible for high levels of PM2.5. Cleaner Burning Wood burning stoves emit large amounts of fine particles, especially if they are not maintained in a proper manner. According to a report by the European Environmental Bureau, a single wood burner in a home produces as many particles in an hour as six diesel vehicles. These emissions are the main cause of air pollution and are a major cause of poorer health for those who live near roads, where pollution is often more severe. These emissions also impact the environment as pollutants can travel across borders and impact the entire world. The good news is wood burners are now cleaner than they used to be and this is due to the technological advancements. The government will also ban the sale of conventional household coal and restrict the sale of wet, dry wood, which can be located in garage forecourts. It will also ensure that all new stoves conform with EU eco design regulations. These new wood stoves will make use of a more efficient method of burning that will reduce emissions considerably. Modern log burners come with an airwash system which acts as a second line of defense against stained glass. This works by drawing in an air flow around the stove glass, which keeps it clean, even if the fire is still burning. modern wood burning stove don't have this feature, which is why older models tend to have sooty glasses. Fortunately, many modern stoves have this feature, and a good routine of cleaning will help keep it looking new. Be sure to make sure your stove is cool before you start, and take care not to damage the glass with abrasive scrubbers. A brand new wood burning stove that complies with eco-design standards is the ideal way to lower your carbon footprint as well as cut your heating expenses. It can also help to protect the environment and your own health. The new wood stoves we sell are better than ever, and they come with a variety of features that will improve the efficiency of your home, too. For example our Scan models have Clean Burn technology which results in a reduction of particle emissions by as much as 80 percent compared to older stoves. This, in addition to the fact that they make use of 40 percent less wood because of their efficiency, means you're making a positive impact on the world around you, as well as saving money on heating costs. More efficient in energy use Wood stoves are a great alternative to electric and gas heating for homeowners. They're not only more eco-friendly however, they can also reduce the cost of energy. A modern high-efficiency stove is most likely to cost less than central heating systems. Since energy costs are rising, it's even more important to find ways to cut the cost of heating. It's a popular myth that wood burning in a fireplace causes the same amount of carbon dioxide as 18 diesel cars. It's not the case. This is due to the fact that many of the newer Ecodesign stoves (including the ones from Charnwood) are more efficient, which means they emit significantly less harmful gases. When you are choosing firewood, make sure to choose an environmentally friendly source. Also, ensure that it has been seasoned for atleast one year. This lowers the moisture content, making it more efficient, and also reducing emissions and smoke. Think about buying your wood from local suppliers in order to support the local economy. Another method to be greener is to buy a multifuel stove in the UK which can be used with a variety of fuels including oil and smokeless coal. They are also more efficient than open fires and can save you up to 60% on fuel costs. You'll need to regularly clean the flue and grate of your stove to ensure that it is running as efficiently as possible. This is required at least two times per year, or more often if you frequently use your stove. You should also keep an eye on the efficiency of your stove's combustion because some advertised efficiencies only refer to the process of combustion, and not to the overall efficiency of the appliance. You should always check that the manufacturer or provider will provide you with a proof of the overall efficiency. It's a good idea to select a stove which is certified by the ClearSkies scheme, since this will allow you to understand its performance. A Cleaner Environment Wood-burners can be an excellent addition to any home. They create a warm and cozy atmosphere which is ideal for those cosy nights in winter. They can help you cut down on your energy bills and make your home more sustainable. They also provide a perfect alternative to fossil fuels, and can help you save money on gas prices.

Gone are the days of dirty stoves and billowing fireplaces. The latest stoves are now producing fresh, dry and odorless heat. A majority of modern stoves come with a Clean Burn technology which utilises an advanced combustion system to ensure the stove only releases harmless gases and particles. This means a cleaner fire which is ideal for those who reside in areas that have smoke control and it is an offence to emit smoke from a stove in these zones. It is important to choose an appliance that has a high rating for environmental protection, whether you live in a place that is smoke-free or not. This will stop any harmful emissions from leaving your chimney and contaminating the air in your home. The new regulations that went into effect in 2022 mandate that all new stoves have to limit their carbon emissions to a predetermined level. This means that stoves from the past might require replacement to be in compliance with these new rules. There are two kinds of certifications that you must look for when choosing a wood burning stove, the first one is Ecodesign that is in compliance with European directive on particulate and air pollution. This kind of stove decreases Particulate Matter, Organic Gaseous Compounds and Carbon Monoxide by improving the combustion in the firebox. It also requires less logs to generate the same amount of heat.

These regulations are intended to protect people from harmful particulates which can trigger respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The government has not imposed a ban on all log burners, as they are a major source of heat for many UK homes.
