With sales of traditional wood burning stoves soaring as people look for alternative ways to heat their homes amid the cost-of-living crisis, those who can’t utilise wood or coal-fueled devices might consider the electric alternatives.
But experts behind the energy-saving app Loop are warning people to consider the cost of running these devices, which could add over £186 to your energy bills if used regularly this winter.
Loop has compared the running costs for a range of electric stove heaters on the market, revealing the average cost for five models is £178 over 3 months if used every day for 3 hours per day.
