Wood burning stoves provide efficient heat, a cozy ambiance, and a reliable source of warmth, even during power outages. They can also help reduce energy costs and add value to your home.

Before purchasing a wood stove, consider the size of the area you want to heat, the stove’s efficiency and emissions, local regulations, and your home’s existing chimney or venting system.

The installation process involves assessing the space, preparing the area for the stove, installing the stove and necessary venting, and conducting safety inspections to ensure compliance with local codes.

The cost of installation can vary based on factors such as the type of stove, the complexity of the installation, and any additional components needed for the venting system.A wood burning insert is a highly efficient, self-contained unit that fits into your existing fireplace. It’s designed to burn wood more effectively, providing more heat and less waste.

While a traditional masonry chimney is one option, wood burning stoves can also be vented through a stainless steel chimney liner or a prefabricated insulated chimney system.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the stove and chimney, inspecting gaskets and seals, and ensuring proper airflow. It’s also important to have annual inspections by a certified professional.
