Traditional open fireplaces are charming, but they have a reputation for being inefficient in terms of energy use. Unlike wood burners, they are not capable of adequately insulating homes. Wood burners are ideal choices because they generate more heat and with a heating efficiency of up to 86%, ensuring that you will stay comfortable your home during the coldest seasons.

Do you want to have an elegant looking burner to keep your living space warm and toasty? You may be thinking about choosing a wood burner in New Zealand. If you are currently on the lookout for one, here are five things you consider so that you can ensure you are making the best choice for your home.

Size and rating

The size of the wood burner is one of the most important factors to consider. You have to get it right. Pick something too small, and you won't get enough heating. Pick something too big, and you will be wasting money. If your home is around 2,000 square feet, look for a wood stove rated at 60,000 BTUs and is between 2.0 and 2.5 cubic feet.

Use

If you are not going to use your wood burner as the primary heater, then you probably won't need to consider the size of your entire home, just the room/s where it will provide heating.

Brands

The ideal wood stove is built by a reputable company that has decades of experience in manufacturing wood heating systems. They are trusted by consumers for their products that are built to standards.

Dealer

Finding the right wood burners in New Zealand is challenging because many factors will influence your choices. But with a good dealer, you can get expert guidance. You will know what brands and models of wood burners meet your requirements and fall under your set budget. Also, you will be better at weighing out your options. When finding a good dealer, consider the number of years that companies have been in the business as well as the brands they carry as these will say something about their experience and reliability.
