Whether wood is burnt in log or pellet form, it is one of the most environmentally friendly fuels that can be used as a means of heating. It is sustainable renewable energy and virtually carbon neutral.
Self-cleaning Pyrolytic ovens are a popular choice in a growing number of households today. Pyrolytic cleaning uses high temperatures of up to 500°C, combined with the absence of oxygen, to burn off the accumulated grease and spills from baking and roasting food in the oven reducing it to a pile of ash that can be wiped up with a moist cloth.
With gas prices continually rising, gas fire and stove manufacturers have risen to the challenge by investing heavily in research to develop efficient and attractive fires. Efficiencies of 85% or more can now be achieved.
Biomass boilers offer an environmentally sound heating solution. Burning biomass, such as wood pellets or logs, emits the same amount of carbon dioxide as is absorbed while the plants were growing. Therefore, biomass is classed as carbon-neutral renewable energy.
