Unfortunately, we cannot consider firewood as a nationally permitted heating method. In some locations, such as conservation areas, historic town centres or areas with long-standing poor air quality, wood heating may be restricted or banned altogether by local ordinance.

The use of firewood for heating is largely CO2 neutral. This is because burning wood
releases only the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the tree during the growth phase, which
would have escaped even in the natural process of decomposition in the forest. The released carbon dioxide is then reabsorbed
other trees within the framework of sustainable forest management, thus creating a closed cycle. The wood is
is even increasingly being mentioned as a renewable energy source that makes sense for the future
and a proven alternative as Europe moves away from fossil fuels.

Yes, the burning of wood produces waste substances such as ash, dust and particulates that affect
on air quality. But modern boilers and stoves can radically reduce emissions compared to
with the old models. If we also keep the chimney, the stove and its surroundings clean and
heat only with real and well-dried wood, we can prove the ecological footprint of wood heating
to reduce it to an absolute minimum.

This depends on a number of factors, such as the current price of different wood species and the proportion in which these species
wood is purchased by individual households. The size of the household and the quality of insulation also play a role,
the desired temperature in each room, the type of heating system, the energy efficiency of the heater, etc. In general, however, wood heating is more cost-effective in terms of the total cost of
the lifetime of the appliance, its maintenance requirements and the cost of fuel per
1kW is the cheapest heating method.
