Installing traditional wood burner stoves is becoming more popular, across areas like Dorchester. Despite the added warmth, ambience and financial savings that these stoves can offer, myths about these are still common. Have a question about your stove?

Myth 1: Traditional Wood Burning Stoves are Bad for Dorchester's Environment
It is widely believed that wood burners are bad for the environment. However, depending on the model and how they're used, can be eco-friendly.
Using wood as a renewable source is a good example of this, as modern stoves are designed to burn fuel efficiently. Reduce smoke and emissions from your wood burner, by using dry, seasoned wood.
Myth 2: Wood Burners are Too Expensive to Maintain
While traditional wood burning stoves need regular care, our team in Dorchester offers affordable maintenance. To help your stove run more smoothly, and increase efficiency, cleaning the chimney can help your wood burner stay in good condition. Alongside the warmth they provide, your stove can help you save money on heating bills, making them a good long-term investment.
Myth 3: Wood Burners are Difficult to Use
A common myth is that your stove will be difficult to use. However, our Dorchester-based team are on hand to help you understand all you need to know about your traditional wood burning stove. Using kindling or seasoned wood, light the fire inside your stove, and then use the air vents to control the flames' intensity.
Myth 4: Wood Stoves are Dangerous
When used properly, log burners can be a very safe and effective form of heating your home. Ensure that you have installed a carbon monoxide detector, and remove flammable materials from around the stove, for a safer environment. Working through Dorchester, our team can perform regular inspections or servicing on your traditional wood burning stove, to further support this.
Myth 5: Traditional Wood Burning Stoves in Dorchester, are only for Old Homes
Many people assume that log burner stoves are only suited for older homes. However, a wood burner can benefit any home for a variety of reasons. Wood stoves add warmth, character and a cosy atmosphere to any room or space. Even in modern homes, a log burning stove is a great and financially beneficial addition to your home.
