Martin Lewis says ‘fix now’ as energy price cap set to rise in days
She reckons she’s already saved £2,000 since switching to burning wood instead of turning her heating on in autumn 2022., with her husband, Dan, her son Theo, eight, and daughter, Izzy, six, runs her own e-commerce business, T & Belle, which sells gifts for parents.So a few years ago, she started looking into what she could do to reduce her bills, and found that log burners can be a great way to heat the whole house up for far less.
After getting a smart meter, Bryony calculated the family was easily spending upwards of £800 on central heating over six months.Bryony paid £800 for her log burner, plus around £1,000 to get it installed - but this included the cost of removing the family's previous open fire place, so without that it would have been cheaper.She said: "We paid around £800 for our ACR Woodpecker WP5 Plus - but as we’ve discovered, it doesn’t take too long to recoup the cost.
Now, the only ongoing running costs are logs, kindling and firelighters, which has been far cheaper than running central heating.
