Heating your home with wood or pellets in clean, efficient stoves and fireplace inserts.
Wood, the most accessible and affordable heating fuel source
Wood is the most accessible and affordable renewal energy source in much of North America. As an alternative to public utilities, it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wood burning stoves and inserts provide heating security during electrical power failures.
Did you know that wood provides a near zero impact on global carbon dioxide (the greenhouse gas blamed for global warming)? Because trees are a renewable resource that absorbs carbon dioxide as they grow, they effectively recycle their own emissions when burned.
Also, when comparing the carbon footprint of wood burning to fuel oil and natural gas, you have to factor in the environmental impact to produce these public utilities. This makes a compelling case to limit their use when possible.
