Woodburning Stoves

Woodburning stoves are a safe low-carbon method of heating your home. The latest models are in line with Ecodesign standards and have excellent efficiency ratings.

Certain states offer incentives to replace older, polluting models with newer ones. However, NESCAUM's findings suggest some of these incentive programs may not have been effective. The EPA is reviewing these incentives in order to make adjustments. The stoves that burn wood are required to emit less than 2,5 grams of particle pollution every hour by the EPA. This is significantly smaller than the emissions created by a diesel vehicle. Defra (UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) has similar emission limits. Ecodesign-compliant wood-burning stoves emit 38% less particulates than older stoves or open fires.

Clean

Woodburning stoves need regular cleaning and maintenance. Three main areas need attention such as the flue, firebox and 913875.xyz chimney. The firebox needs to be cleaned frequently and the ash should be removed. Use gloves when handling the ashes as they are hot.
