When talking about the most practical types of fireplaces, traditional wood burners in New Zealand rarely make the cut. With the popularity of electric fireplaces that provide instant warmth in just a plug, who would want to switch back to using the stoves of yesterday, right?
Actually, there are many people who still love wood burners in New Zealand. They may not be as easy and simple as their electric counterparts, but they are definitely superior in many ways.
If you’re interested in investing in a wood-burning stove, make sure you are choosing a new one. The new generation of wood burners is designed with advanced technology and energy efficiency in mind, giving you this comprehensive list of benefits:
Exceptional heating
The biggest advantage of wood-burning stoves is their exceptional heating. They give off more heat faster, allowing you to enjoy a warm toasty living space in winter. What's more, the stove radiates heat from all sides of the unit. That's the reason it is able to send warmth in every direction and heat the place more efficiently.
Secondary combustion
This 'phenomenon' is only possible if you are using a woodburner in New Zealand. The stove burns waste gases like carbon dioxide. Because of this, it is able to increase heat output and achieve much higher efficiencies. In fact, secondary burn helps wood stoves reach 80% efficiency.
Eco-friendly and economical
Compared to fossil fuels like
natural gas, propane, and coal, wood logs are more environment-friendly. It is
said to be one of the cleanest forms of generating heat for your house. Wood is
considered carbon-neutral because it doesn't add carbon dioxide to the
environment. Moreover, wood is also a cheap fuel source. It costs less to buy
wood logs than it is to buy oil, gas, and even electricity!
