WHAT IS THE BEST WOOD HEATER FOR MY HOME?
What to look for
Selecting the right wood heater can be a big decision, and choosing the right design is a large factor to consider. Along with external designs there is also the option of a freestanding or inbuilt wood heater.
It is important to identify the size, space and layout of your home and ensure you correctly measure the area of the rooms you want to heat.
The performance of your wood heating unit relies on how well your home is insulated. A well insulated home retains the heat, while poor insulation results in heat loss through the walls, ceilings and windows.
A radiant wood heater may be a more effective style of heating for homes with poor insulation (as less heat rises in these heaters) while a convection unit is best suited to homes with good insulation and standard ceiling heights.
