Customers seeking eco-friendly, affordable energy costs driving boom in solid fuel this winter season.
Modern wood-burning stoves have a clear role to play in our low-carbon future. Fire&Flame, a leading retailer of solid fuel, has revealed that log sales are up by 16% this year. This is a result of a growing trend of people wanting to improve their homes with wood burners rather than move house while looking for an eco-friendly yet cost-effective way to keep their homes warm.
Wood logs cost 68% less per kWh than electric heating and 13% less than an air source heat pump. With a modern wood burning stove using less than a third of the amount of wood fuel compared to an open fire to give the same amount of heat, customers are turning to solid fuel, as gas and electric prices continue to rise putting extra pressure on household budget.
With forecasters predicting another wet and windy winter, people across the UK retreating to the snugness of their living rooms with real fires now the hub for families.
Caroline Morris, Sales Director for Fire&Flame said; “Over the past year, we have seen an increase in retailers stocking solid fuel as the popularity of woodburning stoves continues to boom.
“Last winter, retailers saw up to a triple increase in predicted turnover, and we are expecting 2024/2025 solid fuel sales to further increase. As stove sales rise, the demand for eco-friendly fuel products has also increased.”
The Bar-Be-Quick brand Fire&Flame’s range of winter fuels, including wood briquettes and kindling, are all sustainably produced, and offer an ideal solution for those who want to reduce their carbon footprint and make their homes more sustainable.
Increasingly, consumers are prioritising eco-friendly and sustainable products. Offering sustainably sourced wood aligns with the environmentally-conscious consumer demands, strengthens the brand loyalty and ensures alignment with the companies values of responsibility and integrity.
Using sustainable and eco-friendly fuel significantly reduces consumers’ carbon footprint and helps protect the environment. Products made using waste products that would otherwise go to landfill make an excellent choice for anyone who wants to reduce their waste output and live a more sustainable lifestyle.
