Enjoy the new atmosphere in your home, enjoy the renewed warmth in your home, and add a focal point to the room, all while reducing your heating bills.

The Boston Globe reported today that Massachusetts households will face higher heating costs this winter as fuel oil prices recently hit their highest summer levels in three years.

Heating oil prices in Massachusetts averaged $3.73 a gallon last month, up $1 from the same time last year. If prices stay where they are, the average Massachusetts heating bill will go up by about $225 this winter.

Even though it is warm there is still interest in wood stoves. I guess here in Metro-West Massachusetts we still haven’t really recovered from the winter. Alternative or supplemental heating for the winter is still on a lot of people’s minds.
In fact a report by a nonprofit group Alliance for Green Heat shows that wood heating dominates the residential renewable energy market, even with virtually no government subsidies to support it.

At the Fireplace and Grill Shop at West Sport, we have been fielding quite a few questions about wood heat. There are many styles and sizes of wood burning stoves and inserts.  Options that can fit in any style home, from rustic to contemporary and that can either heat the whole home or can heat a few rooms.

A wood burning fire offers you increased heating efficiency as well as ambiance. We offer a wide variety of wood burning stoves at West Sport, and we take care of the installation as well.

The Middle East Conflicts have created a lot of concern over the prices of heating oil and gas. The price per barrel of home heating oil jumped 4% today. And depending on what happens there this week, oil prices could go higher. Although investor concerns about the unrest in the Mideast and North Africa are legitimate, considering they account for 35 percent of the world's oil supply and reserves, so far oil production and exports have not been affected.

Even those who are traditionally unconcerned with their heating bill have given thought to the price of heating their homes for the remainder of this winter. Combined with the fact that oil and gas prices only go higher in the summer, we cannot avoid the conversation about oil prices. With the tightening of our financial belts these last few years, we have seen ourselves cut back on going out to dinner, entertainment, the family get away, and much more. But in the cold weather, who wants to cut back on home heat.

No one wants to turn the heat down when it just seems to keep on snowing.Wood heat is the answer. With a wood burning stove or insert, you can avoid the oil and gas bill or at least supplement it. With wood burning inserts that can heat a 2000 sq ft home and burn for 10 hours, heating your home is not just inexpensive, it is easy.
