wood burning stoves – keeping down energy costs & reducing carbon
The increasing cost of fuel has already caused many homeowners to install wood burning stoves to keep down the cost of home heating. The latest announcements about gas and elec- tricity increases have led a new wave of home- owners to look afresh at wood burning stoves. In addition, to help lower the cost of home
heating, wood burning stoves can also signifi- cantly reduce the amount CO2
produced in both
existing and new houses. The new Document L, which came into effect
in October 2010 in England and Wales, increases the role a wood burning stove can play in the overall heating of a house. A wood burning stove can be used as primary heating in conjunction with a central heating boiler. This will allow a wood burning stove to pro-
vide a significant contribution to the renewable energy sources of the house, while providing homeowners with the aesthetic feel they want their house to have. Burning wood in an efficient stove is the key
to achieving the carbon savings. Wood is one of the most environmentally friendly fuels that
can be used. It is a renewable energy and vir- tually carbon neutral. The carbon factor for wood has been significantly reduced in the new SAP2009 to 0.007kg of carbon per kilowatt of heat produced. Gas, for example, emits 25 times more carbon than burning wood in an efficient stove on a like for like basis.
