Using wood for heating is an ancient method that mankind has used for generations. Even today, wood is still an important source of thermal energy for many households that choose it to save on heating costs and for its environmental friendliness, as well as, of course, for the natural warmth it offers.
In this article we delve into the main advantages of this heating method to help you understand why it could also be a good choice for your home!
Woody biomass is a carbon-neutral energy source, i.e. the CO2 emitted during the combustion process is equal to that which plants assimilate from the atmosphere in the course of their growth, thus feeding a carbon-neutral flow. This is why wood plays a key role in achieving the 2050 goal of decarbonising the European energy system.
This is one of the reasons why more and more families are deciding to heat their homes with the natural and renewable energy of wood, also thanks to the fact that, compared to fossil fuels, biomass is less affected by price fluctuations. In fact, affordability is a second advantage that we analyse in this article.
From an economic point of view, wood is an advantageous heating method compared to the main fossil fuels.
Indeed, wood is less prone to price fluctuations, allowing constant savings over time.
Moreover, in many countries, such as Italy, the installation of a wood heating system is supported by state incentives such as funding or tax deductions.
Wood-burning stoves do not require the use of electricity to operate. This can be an advantage if power outages occur or in situations where the power supply is not consistently guaranteed.
The presence of a wood-burning stove or fireplace in the home, with its visible flame and the sound of crackling wood, creates a cosy and unique atmosphere. A pleasant feeling that no other fuel can offer.
Some wood-burning stoves, in addition to heating the room, are also designed for cooking using the heat of the fire.
Some models are equipped with cast iron rims or cooking plates in the upper part of the stove, while others also have an integrated oven, as is the case with our Nova Forno in the photo below.
