Wood stove
Free-standing stoves designed to efficiently burn wood.
Wood stoves are standalone heating appliances that burn wood to heat a room. They are highly efficient, with many designs offering the ability to control the rate of burn and heat output.
While wood stoves are excellent for heating, they require proper installation to ensure efficiency and safety. Their chimneys or flues must be regularly cleaned to prevent creosote buildup, which can lead to chimney fires.
Proper operation and maintenance include ensuring the stove is vented correctly and that seals and door gaskets are in good condition. This helps maintain optimal performance and safety in your home.
Keep it well
- Empty the ash pan regularly to maintain airflow.
- Use a moisture meter to ensure your firewood is adequately seasoned.
- Inspect door seals and gaskets for wear or damage.
- Schedule regular chimney sweeping to prevent creosote buildup.
