Home heating stoves are increasingly popular across western New York with the dramatic rise in energy costs. However, these new modern marvels are nothing like the smoking "pot belly" stove that was in grandma's basement. Completely redesigned with energy efficiency in mind, today's gas and wood-burning stoves are among the most efficient and economical home heating sources.

Wood Vs. Gas Heating Stoves
When considering a free-standing stove for your home, you have two fuel options: gas or wood. The best fuel choice for your home boils down to personal preference.
Gas Heating Stoves:
A gas heating stove is an excellent choice when you want the convenience of continuous heating, simple operation, and easy maintenance. Set the desired temperature, push the button, and the stove will automatically maintain the desired comfort level. Some models even feature remote control.
Wood-Burning Heating Stoves:
For the naturalist, nothing beats the spectacular flames of a wood-fired stove. Modern wood stoves are not only energy-efficient, but they are also easier to use than a fireplace. Just load the firewood you prefer, such as hickory, oak, or beech, to fill your home with a fresh airy scent. With push-button ignition, lighting a wood stove is as easy as a gas stove.
