Fuel Efficient Open Fires

We are all painfully aware of the spiralling cost of domestic fuel bills, with oil, gas and electricity prices continuing to increase relentlessly.

Wood is a renewable, carbon-neutral fuel which is readily available to many people as a reasonable, or sometimes zero-cost, option. An efficient wood burning open fire can make a valuable contribution to reducing overall heating costs in the home as well as being a beautiful and welcoming addition to your room.

Everybody loves the look and feel of an open fire, but most ordinary open fires burning wood, coal or smokeless fuels are not working to their full potential. Installing a Tortoise or Cleanline open convector fire from Flamewave Fires is usually a straightforward procedure and can help you get more out of your precious fuel. Tortoise and Cleanline fires are usually at least twice as effective as comparable ordinary open fires, meaning you get twice the heat or use half the fuel – now that is a very comforting thought!
