The Embers Heating studio installation process by the Davies family, Ilkeston

We decided what brands we liked the look of online but knew very little about anything else so decided we needed to speak to someone. We made an appointment to go and visit the Embers Showroom in Derby as it was recommended to us by good friends.

After a good look around we completely changed our minds about what we wanted, both decided on different brands then eventually we found our favourite. The show room has a huge selection, lots of choice on display and in catalogues! Jason, the owner was on hand to answer our questions but also thoughtfully left us alone to bicker as well!

So when it comes to deciding how to heat your home, where do you stand? Is it running cost that drives your final decision for picking the form of fuel you’d like to use when keeping your house warm? Or do you veer more towards the green end of the scale, concerned about doing your bit to save the environment and protect this wonderful world of ours? 

Chances are that both factors will make their presence felt when you’re running through the list of reasons to go with this form of heating fuel or the other, and you’re also likely to consider convenience too – how easy it is to keep things running smoothly and fully maintained once everything is in and installed.

Put simply, there’s plenty to think about when deciding which type of fuel to use to heat your home. So allow us to give you a few extra pointers that might help to point you in the right direction.

Wood burning stoves are as popular as ever. According to a report in the Independent, 175,000 of them are installed in the UK every year.

 Why? Well there’s a lot to be said for that ‘rustic charm’ for starters. They’re beautiful to look at when crackling away, and provide a great focal point no matter where you put them in the house. But it’s not just the aesthetic benefits that make them so popular; they’re much cleaner than your regular open fireplace and they’re more efficient too, saving you money on your heating bills.

But if you’re thinking of having one, you should put some thought into the whole exercise first. Be safe. Be responsible. Consider the size of the area that you need to heat and how you plan to get the thing installed in the first place.

This is NOT a time for D.I.Y…

The nights have drawn in, summer is just a fond memory and it’s about now that it starts to get really cold.  So it’s time to get your fireplace ready for the winter and some constant use.

 Nothing beats a beautiful fire roaring away to cosy up your living room when outside the snow is falling and the days are dark. However, if you’ve got a log or coal fire and want to make the most of your hearth and really feel the benefits, then you need to make sure you prepare your fireplace in readiness for winter use. After all, it’s most likely been sat idle for a few months – so you need to bring it out of hibernation and get it ready for action!

Check out your chimney

First and foremost, you need to make sure your chimney is clear of blockages and free to let the smoke and excess heat head up and outwards. Leaves and even animal nests can accumulate while your fireplace is out of use, and when they do you can get a nasty surprise when you first light your fire for the winter and find yourself with a room full of smoke. A professional chimney sweep can ensure that your chimney is clean and ready to go, while you can arrange to have a cap or screen installed in your chimney to prevent any future blockages from occurring. You can also look at the exterior of the chimney yourself from ground level, making sure that no tree limbs have grown to hang over it and that the chimney itself is in good condition, not damaged, crumbling or leaning to one side.

So much to consider, so little time.

That’s often how it feels when it comes to deciding how to heat your living room. Do you go with or stay with gas? Is electric the way to go? What other options do I have?

What about a log burner? Yes, they look amazing – but how economical are they? How much heat do they really chuck out? What kind of wood should I burn and what should I avoid? Wouldn’t life be so much easier if someone could provide me with the answers to all of these questions?

Well, you’re in luck! So many people have asked us about the benefits of wood burning stoves that we decided we’d put together the answers to some of the most important questions and hopefully help you to see things a little more clearly. So let’s start with…

• Why would I choose a woodburner in the first place?

Well, there are a number of great reasons and we’ll explore them in more detail as we go along, but it’s safe to say that wood burning stoves are fabulous to look at and offer the most traditional heating aesthetic available. After all, what could look more homely and cosy than a real fire?

On top of that, it’s fairly easy to get hold of responsibly-sourced timber to fuel your woodburner while wood itself is carbon neutral and energy efficient. You can save money on your energy bills too. So how’s that for starters?

• How good do they look?
