Wood stove
Freestanding appliances that burn wood for heat.
Wood stoves are standalone heating appliances that efficiently burn wood for heat. They are a popular choice for homes looking to reduce heating costs while providing a rustic, cozy ambiance.
Proper maintenance of a wood stove is vital to ensure efficient burning and safety. Regular cleaning of the stove and chimney keeps creosote buildup at bay, preventing potential chimney fires.
When using a wood stove, make sure it's placed on a non-combustible surface and that adequate clearance is maintained to avoid fire hazards. Checking the door and glass for airtight seals ensures optimal performance.
Keep it well
- Have your wood stove and chimney cleaned and inspected annually.
- Regularly clean the stove and remove ash after use.
- Check the flue for any obstructions before each use.
- Use a moisture meter to confirm wood is properly seasoned before burning.
