Get your home ready for a power cut!
If you have experienced stormy weather like we have over the last month, then this blog post will open up a whole other reason to get a wood burner installed. Rainy, snowy and windy conditions can cause a whole load of problems when it comes to electricity and technology in your home.
As heating solutions are becoming more and more reliant on technology, it is a shock when this luxury is taken away from you. Many heating systems are controlled by not only electric but from a smartphone over Wi-Fi and when the electric goes down, what do you use to keep you warm?
I bet the next thing you would turn to would be a gas alternative but this is not the be all and end all in these conditions. The lighting system is normally dependent on electric so no heat from your gas fire either!
Now you are struggling to keep your young and elderly ones warm, be sure to turn to your trusty wood burner. Homeowners that already have a wood burner installed would have been quietly looking smug during these horrible weather conditions as they are the only ones that would have had not only heat but also light. It would have taken numerous candles to create as much light a wood burner does.
So when you are unsure as to whether to buy a wood burner, remember it is not only about the beauty, which they have in abundance, but also about the practicality and the realisation that they could be a savour in these cold winter months.
