10 reasons why you need a Real Fire<\/h1>\n

Real fires<\/strong> have advantages in many ways. Technology has always pushed central heating and electric heating, especially post-war, but instead of having to rely on gas and electric, you have have another option. The reasons to have a real fire can be quite compelling.<\/p>\n

We’ve listed ten good reasons below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

1<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"HeatHeat your house<\/h2>\n

With modern chimney systems, flues running from the main fire can easily be channelled to different parts of your home<\/a>, to take advantage of the heat generated by a single fire source.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

2<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"Wood\"<\/strong>Wood
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a solid fuel<\/a>, wood is carbon neutral as sources are re-planted. It gives off the same CO2 emissions that were stored in the wood as it grew. Ensuring a low moisture content in dry wood means it burns fast and is very hot, as well as reducing pollution<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

3<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"Amazing<\/strong>Amazing to look at<\/h2>\n

No one can argue that real fires look amazing<\/a>. They are not just functional, but stunning to look at and give off a warm glowing and cosy feeling.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

4<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"ReduceReduce your\u00a0gas and electric usage<\/h2>\n

The ever increasing<\/a> gas and electricity costs never seem to be going down. By having a source of heating and energy independent from the grid, means you have your own flexibility on heating costs.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

5<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"Biomass\"Biomass
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A superb renewable fuel source for real fires. Grants<\/a> are also available for installing biomass as a heat source. The biomass pellets are heavily compressed and low in moisture. Therefore they burn with a very high efficiency.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

6<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"CheapFlexible running costs<\/h2>\n

Aforementioned gas and electric goes up all the time, but with so many different solid fuel options, you are in control of heating your home, using a wide variety of fuels.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

7<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"Real<\/strong>Real fires reduce condensation<\/h2>\n

Sealed houses have much more of a condensation problem. Ventilated houses with chimneys are less prone to this.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

8<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"Heating,Heating, Venting and Living<\/h2>\n

As mentioned, real fires mean homes are much better ventilated, mainly down to the chimney, which removes polluted air, draws in fresh air and circulates far better. A much more healthier environment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

9<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"Cost<\/strong>Cost effective<\/h2>\n

Installing a chimney isn\u2019t as expensive as you\u2019d expect. For homes with existing chimneys, it\u2019s simply a case of re-lining<\/a> it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

10<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n

\n

\"Value\"<\/strong>Value<\/h2>\n

Having a real fire will definitely add value<\/a> to your home, as it\u2019s a desirable feature in modern homes, which lack them.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
