Create a Warm and Cozy Ambience With a Wood Stove

A warm home and a beautiful fire make the winter season cozy, and a wood stove is the perfect way to create a comfortable indoor atmosphere when there’s a chill in the air. Adding one to your home as a supplemental heat source can save you money on utility bills and bring the charm only a wood fire can offer. Read on to learn more about wood stoves and selecting the right one for your space.


How Wood Stoves Work

Wood-burning stoves are a traditional heating choice, using firewood as the fuel source and creating warmth through radiant heat. These require a chimney and flue for safe operation and should have an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification to ensure a clean, efficient burn. Most models have a blower, which disperses the warm air evenly throughout the space. Typically, wood is easy to access — but you may have to split your own logs for wood-fueled heaters, and you’ll also need a dedicated place to store the wood.


Wood pellet stoves are another option for home heating. Rather than using cordwood as fuel, these stoves use wood pellets. Pellet stoves offer built-in blowers and electronic thermostats to keep your rooms at the perfect temperature. These pellet wood-burner stoves are also a clean and efficient heating option and are available as freestanding or insert models.


The Best Stove for You

Keep these factors in mind when looking for the right stove for your home.


  • Efficiency: An efficient wood stove won’t need to be replenished with fuel as often, saving you time and money. Having the EPA certification will help here, along with a high efficiency rating — at least 70% or above — for a quality burn that lasts.


  • Size: A too-big stove for the space can mean an overzealous heat output. Square footage comes into play here, so think about the area you’re trying to heat. If the space isn’t very big — less than 1,500 square feet — a small wood stove will do the trick. Medium-sized stoves are great for up to roughly 2,000 square feet, and anything bigger will benefit from a large stove.


  • Style: Freestanding or insert? There are benefits to each. With a freestanding unit, you can place it almost anywhere in your home, keeping in mind you’ll still need a chimney or vent. A wood-burning fireplace insert is an appliance that fits conveniently into your existing wood-burning fireplace opening. These wood-stove inserts come with a hearth surround to fully enclose the existing fireplace.


  • Construction: Cast-iron stoves provide long-lasting heat. Though they take longer to warm up, once they’re hot, the cast iron retains the heat and sends it back into the room, keeping the area warm even after your fire dies down.


A wood stove is a great option to consider when it comes to heating your home, offering efficient warmth and reduced energy costs. If you’re thinking of adding one to your home, you’ll need to decide if it’s a project you can do yourself or if you’ll need a professional for home installation.
