Modern wood burning stoves have a clear role to play in our low carbon future.
Wood logs cost 68% less per kWh than electric heating and 13% less than an air source heat pump (Source: Nottingham Energy Partnership). A modern stove will use less than a third of the amount of wood fuel compared to an open fire to give the same amount of heat. Wood fuel is renewable and sustainable, and can be locally sourced, helping to further reduce the carbon intensity of home heating.
Choosing a modern Ecodesign stove, such as a clearSkies certified model, is a highly efficient, cost effective, low carbon and low emission way to heat your home.
