Choose the right stove for your home at Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets
LOOKING to know where to start when choosing the right heating stove? Then a call to Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets is a must where Stove and Heating Specialist, Wioletta, is on hand to offer advice on choosing the right stove.
Nothing beats the sound or smell of an open fire. But unfortunately it’s not an effective way to heat a room. While up to 90 percent of the heat from an open fire disappears up a chimney, modern stoves can considerably reverse this loss.
Wioletta believes that if your stove is more than 10-years-old, you should definitely look to upgrade. The stoves on the market today are more efficient than what was available a decade ago and the right stove will almost most certainly save you money.
“A stove’s heat output is measured in kilowatts and the higher the number the more heat it will produce. So the bigger your room the more heat you need. For a comfortable temperature, we advise approximately 1Kw of heat for every 14 cubic meters of space,” said Wioletta.
Another important consideration is the type of fuel to burn. You can choose from a wood burning or smokeless fuel burning stove at Corcorans. There is a huge array of wood-burning stoves on the market and if you plan on burning other smokeless fuels, then you need a multi-fuel stove.
“The design of these stoves is optimised to accept a greater number of types of fuel and to burn them as effectively as possible. At Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets we have a massive selection of stoves, from wood-burning to multi-fuel, and even boiler stoves. If you’re seeking an alternative to stuffy central heating, be sure to call to Corcoran’s Furniture & Carpets for the best assistance and advice,” said Wioletta.
