Benefits of Wood Stoves
- Wood stoves are known for offering exceptional heat while providing high levels of efficiency – functioning much better than a traditional fireplace.
- A wood stove can produce a lot of heat with a relatively small amount of wood, making it a cost-effective option for keeping your home warmer during the cold seasons.

- They provide aesthetic appeal. Wood stoves come in a variety of options, designs, and finishes, allowing you to easily find one that matches your home’s style or decor.
- They allow for energy savings. Want to zone heat to save on energy? Wood stoves allow you to efficiently heat specific areas of your home with ease.

Wood Stove FAQs
How Does a Wood Stove Work?
A wood stove burns wood to produce heat. Air is drawn into the stove, the combustion process generates heat, and that heat is then radiated into the room – all while a chimney or flue exhausts any smoke and gases outside.
…but how does it heat so efficiently?
Wood stoves are designed with a combustion chamber that allows for controlled and efficient burning of wood. The chamber is typically insulated – which helps to retain heat within the stove and radiate it into the room – and lined with refractory materials that can withstand high temperatures. This design promotes complete combustion of wood, minimizing waste and emissions, and giving you a very high level of heat.
Can I Use a Wood Stove as a Primary Heat Source?
Yes. That is why they’re such a valued resource. Wood stoves give their owners independence and peace of mind. A consultation with one of our certified team members will ensure you get a properly sized stove that perfectly fits your needs.
What’s the Difference Between a Stove and an Insert?
A stove and an insert are both heating appliances used for burning wood or other fuels, but they differ in their design, installation, and the way they are incorporated into a living space.
- Stoves: A stove is a freestanding heating appliance that can be placed almost anywhere in a room. It is self-contained and does not need an existing fireplace for installation. Stoves come in a variety of styles and designs.
- Inserts: An insert is designed to be inserted into an existing, masonry fireplace. They’re designed to enhance an existing fireplace’s appearance and improve heat output into your living space.
Which option is more efficient?
Both are extremely efficient. Stoves can provide solid heat for the room they are located in, radiating heat in all directions – and some models also have blowers to distribute warm air throughout your home. Inserts are known for improving the efficiency of an existing fireplace. They create a closed combustion system, capturing considerably more heat, preventing warm air from escaping up the chimney.
Why Is Wood a Good Heating Choice?
- Wood serves as a reliable source of backup heat and light during power outages.
- Wood is a renewable resource when harvested sustainably.
- Wood combustion is carbon neutral – the carbon emitted when burned is roughly equal to the amount the tree absorbed during its growth.
- Using wood for heating contributes to energy independence, reducing reliance on electricity or imported fossil fuels.
- Wood is typically available locally at an affordable rate, and costs can be further reduced by chopping, seasoning, and storing your own.
- Burning wood results in lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to certain fossil fuels – especially with modern, high-efficiency wood-burning appliances.
