Affordable heating power package: Tiled stoves for the home

The annual heating bill is fluttering into our homes again.

Many people brace themselves for the worst just by looking at the envelope.

Tiled stoves can not only bring coziness to a home, but also provide cost-effective warmth . However, caution is advised when choosing fuel, as not everything that burns and produces heat is healthy.
Tiled stoves are completely or partially covered with stone slabs and are filled with fuel through a door – often glazed . Due to their construction, they can store heat for many hours and release it evenly as pleasant radiant heat without consuming large amounts of fuel.

Wood , ideally sourced from sustainable and therefore environmentally friendly forestry, is relatively inexpensive. Available forms include wood briquettes, firewood, or wood pellets, which consist of compressed sawdust and shavings approximately 25 to 50 centimeters in size.

When using firewood, it's important to ensure it's properly seasoned, untreated, and dry. This not only makes it easier to light but also prevents the release of pollutants during combustion. Those who burn firewood should look for wood certified according to DIN standards for high-quality wood.

Other tiled stoves are fueled with gas, oil, electricity, or lignite briquettes, but not every fuel can be used in every tiled stove; otherwise, dangerous pollutants can irritate the respiratory tract or disrupt the digestive system, for example. The regulations governing small and medium-sized combustion plants regulate which fuel is suitable for which type of stove.
To ensure that the entire house benefits from the warmth of the tiled stove in the living room, water-bearing models equipped with a heat exchanger can be integrated into the central heating system. The heated water is then fed into the central heating system and distributed to the radiators – providing comfortable warmth in every room.
