Come home to warmth of wood-burning stove

Situated in Grantown’s Strathspey Industrial Estate, Cairngorm Stoves continues to thrive despite the recession.

Part of this can be attributed to escalating oil, gas and electricity prices, but there’s also a great desire by people to spend their hard- earned cash wisely.

Installing a wood-burning stove may initially seem expensive but the financial rewards will soon be seen in the savings made in other energy bills.

A wood-burning stove will also provide a healthier, more efficient form of heating.

Cairngorm Stoves and its team of recommended installers has successfully completed the Hetas training course and is now registered with the Solid Fuel Association to carry out stove installations in compliance with current building regulations, and is insured to work in the customers’ home – there’s only a handful of businesses in the north of Scotland with this qualification.

As a result, Cairngorm Stoves is supplying and fitting more stoves into newbuild homes, work traditionally carried out by the general building contractor.

The design and technology of-wood-burning stoves has come such a long way since their initial manufacture and introduction.

Today, these are modern, clean-burning, highly-efficient and aesthetically pleasing stoves which are designed in ways to suit all tastes.

It’s even possible now to fit a wood-burning stove where there is no existing open fire or chimney.

We are fortunate in this area to have an abundance of firewood available and suppliers who will deliver logs cut to the required length, ready to burn.

As well as the loyal support it receives from those in the Badenoch and Strathspey area, Cairngorm Stoves welcomes customers from far and wide to its impressive show room where you’ll find one of the best selection of stove displays in Scotland.

Delighted customers have described the showroom as Tardis-like as it’s much bigger on the inside than the modest exterior suggests.

Along with a new logo, there’s a new website –www.cairngorm stoves.co.uk – which illustrates the showroom, carries customer testimonials and shows examples of installations.

The brands available to Cairngorm Stoves is one of the keys to the firm’s success with products from market leaders such as Morso and Jotul, who hail from Scandinavia. Both firms celebrate 160 years of manufacturing woodburning stoves this year.

The Perge Log Boiler has been another successful string to Cairngorm Stoves’ bow. It is a solid-fuel heating system which is usually situated in an outhouse and provides the home with central heating and hot water.

Its simplicity is its strength. There’s no automatic feed, no automatic ash emptying and no digital displays so very little can go wrong. It burns purely logs, is easier to light than a wood-burning stove and can be maintained by the user, thus avoiding high servicing costs.

Having installed many systems, Cairngorm stoves can provide interested parties with a list of Perge customers who are happy to discuss their experience in operating the boiler and the benefits they have found over their previous form of heating.

While enjoying continued success, Cairngorm Stoves does not rest on its laurels and continues to invest in newstock, provide a warm, well laid-out showroom and spends as much time as is required giving information and advice.

Nothing can be taken for granted and owners, Dennis and Catriona Brown, always endeavour to treat their customers as they themselves would like to be treated.

Continually striving to do what they do well, better. Nothing less will do.
