Benefits of Wood Stoves

The Durability of a Cast Iron Wood Stove
While HVAC units typically have a lifespan of 15 to 25 years, a quality cast iron wood stove will be a one-time investment that will last a lifetime. Not only are these heating units extremely durable, but they are also simple to maintain. Typically, homeowners will need to clean out the ashes once a year, apply some grease to avoid rust, and other simple DIY tasks.

Wood: a renewable fuel
Cast iron woodstoves can also use renewable and sustainable sources to heat your home. There is still debate about whether firewood is a completely carbon-neutral fuel source. However, there is no doubt that trees absorb a large amount of carbon during their lifetime, thereby offsetting most of the carbon emissions released by combustion. In terms of resilient homes, people living in rural or suburban areas may be able to grow their own fuel sources on their own land.
