🔥 MYTH #9: “MY OLD WOOD BURNER IS JUST AS GOOD AS A NEW ONE… RIGHT?”
NOT NECESSARILY. YOU MIGHT BE AMAZED HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED.
If you’ve had your wood burner for years, chances are you love it.
The warmth. The atmosphere. The pleasure of settling down in front of a real fire on a cold evening.
And if it’s still working perfectly well, why would you ever think about replacing it?
Well, you might be surprised by what you’re missing…
🔥 Modern wood burners have come a remarkably long way.
Today’s Ecodesign stoves aren’t simply more attractive versions of older models. Years of innovation have transformed the way they’re designed to burn wood, deliver heat and create that beautiful view of the flames.
And the improvements are impressive.
🔥 More heat from your wood — modern efficient designs can extract more useful warmth from the fuel you burn, potentially reducing how much wood you need.
🔥 A beautiful new centrepiece — from sleek contemporary designs with expansive glass to elegant traditional stoves, there’s something to suit almost any home.
🔥 Cleverer combustion technology — modern air systems help make better use of the energy in the wood.
🔥 Cleaner burning — independent laboratory testing has shown that modern Ecodesign stoves can produce up to 80% less particulate emissions than older, non-Ecodesign appliances.
And this isn’t just something we’re talking about at CleanBurn.
HETAS has recently highlighted the benefits of helping homeowners upgrade older wood-burning appliances, recognising the role newer technology can play in improving air quality.
Of course, that doesn’t mean everyone with an older stove needs to rush out and replace it.
But if yours has been keeping you warm for the last 10, 15 or 20 years, imagine what a beautiful modern replacement could bring to your home.
The same wonderful experience of a real fire — with the benefits of modern design and technology.
At CleanBurn, we can assess your existing installation, talk you through what’s involved in replacing your stove and help you choose something that looks fantastic in your home.
