Why choose a wood stove?
Some of the lines Sunray Heating carries are:
There are many decisions that can help tailor a wood heater to your needs. Some of the factors are: overall performance, efficiency, heat output, material used in manufacturing, quality, thickness of the steel/iron, and catalytic versus non-catalytic. Further to these, there are factors specific to your home.
- Placement of the unit in your house
- Area being heated
- Age of house
- Overall insulation
- Also, a few other details to address are:
- availability of wood
- cost
- storage
- quality of wood
We have a number of Wood fireplaces on display in our showroom. Stop in, explore your options, and let our staff direct you through the process. Our planner can also come to the home and go over the installation options.
- Exceptional & Efficient Heating
Quality brand stoves from partners we work with now have average efficiency ratings of 80 to 85%. Choosing quality really does make the difference.
- Environmentally Friendly
Old wood stoves had emissions upwards of 22 grams per hour. Using as much as 90-150 pounds of wood per 13 hours of burn time. Current standards bring it down to an average 3-4 emission grams per hour; with around 16 lbs of wood burned in 13.5 hrs. New standards will continue to try and drive this number down.
- Economical
Wood heaters are more efficient then they have ever been. EPA standards are regularly updating and requiring manufacturers achieve the best burn rates possible. Today many units have an 8-12hr burn time allowing users to get the most out of each cord.
- No Power Needed
Works during a power outage. Powerful radiant heat that is comfortable and reliable.
- Cooking on a Wood Stove
Cooking on a wood stove has been a common practice for many years. With practice, use of a thermometer, and learning how to adjust the stove heat, a person can become very adept at a number of different foods.
