The cost and environmental benefits of burning a biomass fuel
It is not just the spiralling cost of gas and oil that makes wood a highly desirable and cheaper alternative. In addition to being a sustainable fuel source, burning a biomass fuel like wood does not pollute the air as much as fossil fuels and it does not produce pollutants like sulphur that can cause acid rain. It does release carbon dioxide, but is offset by the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide captured by the tree it came from through photosynthesis, which is why it is a Carbon Neutral fuel.
If wood is burnt cleanly then smoke, which contains some pollutants and particulate matter is reduced. ESSE’s unique, patent pending Afterburn2™ system significantly reduces smoke and produces an exceptionally clean burn.
So when you use a Woodfired ESSE stove you are making a valuable contribution to the future health of our planet. It is also worth pointing out that the wood ash is an excellent plant fertiliser and can be put to good use in your garden or vegetable patch.
Cheaper domestic hot water and central heating
It makes sense to extend those carbon neutral, environmental and cost benefits to the provision of domestic hot water and also to powering your central heating system.
There are several ESSE stoves (and cookers) that have integral boilers for use in domestic hot water and central heating installations. Use these links to find out more about our boiler stoves and cookers:
Wood Stove 700-17B, Inset Stove 350 GS, Ironheart EWB, Woodfired Range Cooker WD & W25
It is a cheap way to heat too. In addition to the relatively low cost of wood as a fuel, all Woodfired central heating products are subject to only 5% VAT as part of a government initiative to encourage carbon neutral heating products.
Burning wood responsiblySome stove owners are lucky enough to forage for their fire wood but many will need to buy their fuel from a supplier. We strongly recommend that you only buy wood from FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) member suppliers like Certainly Wood who obtain all of their wood from properly managed forests.
