Wood burning stoves and inserts are an excellent way to heat your home and save you money. Not only does a wood stove give you a reliable source of heat even when the power goes out, it’s also a green option, because wood is a renewable resource.

Deciding which wood stove to buy can be tough. You’ll find a huge range of options in size, shape, materials and technologies. Also, there are few recognized wood stove experts and no reliable ratings that use consistent criteria to equitably rate and  judge all the options. So how do you choose the best wood stove for your home?

Wood stove Dealers
We recommend finding a good wood stove dealer. No one can tell you exactly what wood stove to buy, because all kinds of personal preferences influence the final choice. However, the right  stove dealer is your best resource. One that has been in business for a number of years, heats their home with wood, and has burning models in the showroom.

Your wood stove dealer will be your resource for years to come. Replacement parts, cleaning and maintenance supplies and advice on new products will all come from your wood stove dealer. Find a dealer with a good reputation and who you feel is someone you can trust. When you converse with them, be sure they listen to your needs, but can also guide you in functionality, material and designs of the wood stoves you are considering.

Lastly, buy a wood stove from a manufacturer that has been in business for at least 20 years. These manufacturers are more likely to honor the warranty and continue to carry replacement parts.

To find the most reputable dealer in your area (MA, CT, RI, ME, VT, NH, NY, NJ, or PA) contact Northeast Distribution LTD.
