New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and with the New Year the home energy tax credit expires. We can help you. You have until December 31, 2010 to purchase your wood or pellet burning fireplace, fireplace insert, or stove if you want to take advantage of this tax credit. At West Sport Grill and Fireplace Shop, we have everything you need to take advantage of this money savings. But, we are also offering $200 off every Hearthstone pellet or wood burning stove, insert or fireplace. We feel that Hearthstone will meet or exceed your expectation which is why we have decided to offer this additional money savings. Burning wood is one of the most romantic, beautiful and satisfying ways to heat your home.

Wood burning stoves, inserts and fireplaces can be very economical, while also offering the additional benefits of a beautiful flame, relaxing warmth, and a romantic ambiance.
Environmental concerns and strict EPA regulations have helped wood stoves grow in popularity. EPA-certified stoves now burn 72-82% more cleanly than those of the past. Wood has a much higher BTU capacity than gas, and wood is also a renewable resource. The tax credit is being offered for all hearth appliances that use renewable energy- this means wood or pellet burning. You can count on wood and wood pellets being around as a reliable and clean source of fuel for years to come. With rising fuel and gas prices, wood stoves are a much more economical way to heat your home. And you will stay warm even if your power goes out.

It is cold outside. Are you looking for a more efficient or perhaps greener ways to heat your home? Then you should consider a pellet stove. Pellet stoves burn pellets made from wood chips, bark, and compacted sawdust. Besides the ease of using a pellet stove, which you light with the touch of a button, they are very efficient, produce very little waste, can be installed on any outside wall even if there is no chimney, and they use inexpensive fuel. Many models of pellet stove also qualify for the energy tax credit of up to $1500.

Wood-pellet stoves have an average efficiency rating of 80- to 85%. For those of you who do not know, this is very high! The pellets are burned completely giving off very little smoke, therefore, a large chimney is not necessary.  If your home does not have a chimney, that is not a problem either. Pellet stoves only need a small pipe leading outside. Because pellet stoves are so efficient, they hardly produce any waste. A 40-pound bag of pellets produces less than a cup of ashes. People can use a wood pellet stove for months without having to empty the ash bin. Additionally, because it has a higher combustion and heating efficiency than a traditional wood stove, less air pollution is being produced.

There are many models and sizes of pellet stoves for sale that you can choose from. Depending on the size, or the floor plan of your home, it is certainly possible to purchase a pellet stove to do the majority of home heating making a large dent in your gas or electric home heating bills.
