You will find a wide variety of EPA-certified models from well-known brands like RSF, Regency, and Hampton that burn longer, hotter, and cleaner fires. You will get more heat with less firewood, which saves you both money and energy.

GAS

While a wood stove can be an energy efficient heating option, it does require routine maintenance chores such as bringing in firewood from outside and sweeping up ashes after a fire. If you are looking for a convenient, easy, and economical way to give your home supplemental heat, you may want to consider adding a gas stove. We know you will love being able to get a cozy fire started from your couch by pushing a button on a remote control device.
