Wood is a renewable resource unlike fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. Although using a fireplace or wood burning stove is a less effective method to warm a home, alternating its use with your home’s heating system can save money and reduce the use of fossil fuels. Individuals who invest in a wood burning stove or fireplace should always use caution. Carelessness can cause loss of property and personal injury or death. |
