FirePlacesNow.com Explains How Wood Burning Stoves Cut Down on High Heating Costs

(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 04, 2009 ) Columbus, OH -- It's inevitable. Winter comes. Heating bills rise. Is there anything average consumers can do to keep their homes warm without paying more money towards gas and electric bills? FirePlacesNow.com recommends wood burning stoves as one more efficient and economical option for winter home heating. 

"No one wants to hand over more money to the utility companies," says Director of Sales, Harold Wagner. "Yet many people will continue to do just that because they are  concerned about up-front costs of installing wood burning stoves, fireplaces, pellet stoves, and other heating options. The problem is that they don't save money. They just delay the cost and spend more in the long run. While they might spend less money this year, that's one more year of over-paying for home heating and get nothing in return. By installing wood burning stoves or other efficient heating options they not only get winter warmth but also lower bills, have a positive environmental impact, and possibly even get a tax credit from the federal government. Can the electric company do that?" 

EPA rated wood burning stoves are safe and clean-burning alternative home heating options. Because they are  such efficient heating sources, letting very little heat produced from the stove escape the home, the government is offering consumers an incentive to take advantage of them. By purchasing a high efficiency wood burning stove, fireplace, or other heating option consumers could be eligible for up to a 30% federal energy tax credit up to a maximum of $1500. The tax credit offer is good on high efficiency wood burning stoves purchased in both the 2009 and 2010 tax years.

Fireplaces Now offers many of these high efficiency options including fireplaces, inserts, and wood burning stoves that meet the tax credit efficiency requirements. One such model is the Osburn 1800 High Efficiency Bay Window wood burning stove. This wood burning stove features a bay window-style view of the flames and 72% efficiency. That means 72% of the heat created by the stove stays within the home, enabling consumers to use less electricity or gas to stay warm this winter. Fireplaces Now clearly marks all fireplaces, wood burning stoves, pellet stoves, and other products on the Web site if they are eligible for the federal energy tax credit so consumers don't have to guess.
