Is a New Wood or Pellet Stove a Good Choice for Your Cumberland, RI Home?
For many of our customers in Cumberland, RI, a new wood or pellet stove is often a better choice for supplemental heating than a fireplace. Horizon Chimney Services would like to share a few benefits a free-standing heating stove can bring to you and your home.
Wood or Pellet: What’s Your Preference?
Like traditional fireplaces, wood stoves burn harvested logs and deliver the beauty and ambiance that many homeowners in the Cumberland, RI, area consider essential in a heating appliance.
Pellet stoves burn wood that’s been made into small pellets. You buy the pellets in bags and then feed them into the stove’s hopper, which gradually adds them to the firebox.
With both fuels, you’ll enjoy genuine wood fires and lovely visuals.
Stoves are Versatile
Where a fireplace is installed in a wall with an appropriate space outside it for the drafting chase, a wood stove or pellet stove can be placed virtually anywhere in your home. It can go beside a wall or be set up closer to the middle of a room. All that’s required is a way to run the vent pipe to the outside of the house.
Big Heat, Small Heat, In-Between Heat
Modern stoves come in a range of BTU outputs, allowing you to select the perfect model to heat your Cumberland, RI, home or specific rooms. BTUs, or “British Thermal Units,” measure the optimal amount of heat a specific fuel and appliance can produce.
Efficient Heating and Less Waste
The wood and pellet stove models we install in Cumberland, RI, are EPA-certified for clean burns and reduced emissions. With their high heating-efficiency ratings, they burn their fuel thoroughly and retain a high percentage of the heat for your room.
Great Looks
Today’s free-standing stoves are available in a range of shapes, sizes, colors, and finishes. You’ll find it easy to choose the right model that instantly enhances your home’s décor and serves as an elegant centerpiece in your room.
Maintaining Your Cumberland, RI Wood or Pellet Stove
As with all wood-burning appliances, wood- and pellet-stoves require basic maintenance. This includes annual vent-pipe cleaning to remove built-up creosote and yearly inspections to ensure everything is working safely and efficiently.
