STAYING GREEN

“The way things are going people won’t be able to use fossil fuels for much longer. New stoves too need to be compliant with Eco Design 2022, which means they burn more effectivel­y, and new passive houses are so good, they don’t need the kinds of heating that were used before.”

Milo demonstrat­es too that the wood-pellet burning stoves are cleaner, with the glass rarely turning black. The ‘chimney’ is a neat, controlled flue, and can be inspected at the showroom in Ballylande­rs. So safe, one can put their hand on the metal flue and it is barely warmer than the one that is not even in use.

The designs of the stoves on-site are modern and clean, corner stoves too with a very ‘Dermot Bannon’ feel. What’s more, some of the designs can be controlled by an app, meaning the fire can be lit remotely while you’re still on the way home from work!

MANY OPTIONS

For homeowners attached to the idea of a mantlepiec­e, Greenr have developed a special eco-friendly stove that slots into the existing mantle surround, or can arrange to have one fitted. The company are not only suppliers of a large selection of stoves, including Irishmade Boru stoves, but also air-to-water pumps, air-to-air pumps, and are continuall­y expanding to meet the needs of the more eco conscious customer.

Milo also supplies fuels, including wood briquettes, kiln-dried hardwood logs that are compliant and contain no more than 20% moisture, and wood pellets. Today’s wood pellets are a far cry from those originally on the market many years ago, and today, are an extremely effective, carbon neutral fuel.

Wood pellet burning appliances are commonplac­e and increasing in popularity throughout Europe, including in Austria, Germany, Spain and Belgium.

Greenr Eco Store recognise that before long, every household will need to reassess how they heat their homes, and are offering the expertise and equipment to make the transition. Why not call in today!
