Why Heat with Wood Instead of Fossil Fuels?
Concerns about the environment and in particular, global warming and the greenhouse effect are growing every year. Not only does relying on fossil fuels for home heating contribute to the greenhouse effect, it is costly for homeowners, as well.
If you’d like to take a responsible and practical approach to heating your modern home, consider one of today’s highly efficient Kamine. Unlike burning oil, gas or coal to heat your home, you won’t be contributing to the greenhouse effect by burning wood.
Carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the combustion of oil, gas and coal. These fuels involve burning carbon it took tens of thousands of years for the earth to accumulate.
By contrast, the carbon dioxide released during wood burning is part of a much shorter, natural process. The trees burned for firewood absorb carbon dioxide from the air as they grow, and their carbon is simply released back into the atmosphere during decay or burning. There is no increase in atmospheric carbon as a result of wood burning as there is with burning fossil fuels.
To make the most of the opportunity to reduce greenhouse gases and save on heating costs, homeowners should invest in one of today’s modern Holzofen. Modern Holzheizkessel are dramatically more efficient than older stoves or fireplaces, meaning less wood is needed to heat homes. This is just one way Festbrennstoffkessel make wood heating a practical alternative to fossil fuel systems for home heating.
