Seasoned Logs and Biomass: The Eco-Friendly Heating Solution
Are you looking for a more affordable and eco-friendly way to heat your home as the colder months roll in? Humber Logs, provided by Yorkshire Tree Surgery, provide a sustainable heating solution with multiple benefits. In this blog, we’ll take a look at the advantages of our wood burning logs, from their environmental impact to their cost-effectiveness and why they're the perfect choice for your home.
What are seasoned logs?
Seasoned logs are wood logs that have been dried out over time, allowing moisture to evaporate from the wood. When freshly cut, wood contains a high level of moisture that results in less efficient burning. By seasoning the wood, usually for six months to a year, the moisture content is reduced to below 20%, ensuring that the logs burn hotter and cleaner. Humber Logs are carefully seasoned to meet these standards, making them ideal for wood-burning stoves and open fires.
Why choose seasoned logs?
The advantages of using seasoned logs over unseasoned or "green" wood are numerous, particularly when it comes to efficiency, sustainability and cost.
Better heat output
Seasoned logs burn more efficiently than unseasoned wood due to their lower moisture content. This means that you’ll get more heat per log, making it an energy-efficient choice for heating your home. For households in East Yorkshire, where winters can be harsh, the consistent heat output from seasoned logs ensures that your home stays warmer for longer periods without needing to continually feed the fire.
Environmentally friendly
Burning seasoned logs is far more eco-friendly than burning logs with high moisture content. Humber Logs, sourced from sustainable woodlands in East Yorkshire, offer a greener option by producing less smoke and fewer pollutants. This not only contributes to cleaner air but also reduces the amount of soot that builds up in your chimney or wood burner, resulting in less need for cleaning and maintenance.
Cost-effective heating
Since seasoned logs burn hotter and longer, fewer logs are required to generate the same amount of heat. This can save you money in the long run as you won’t need to purchase as many logs to heat your home throughout the winter.
Supporting local businesses in East Yorkshire
When you purchase Humber Logs from Yorkshire Tree Surgery, you’re not only choosing an eco-friendly heating solution but also supporting a local business. Buying your wood burning logs locally also helps to reduce transportation emissions, further decreasing the environmental impact. On top of this, your valued purchase strengthens the local economy, as you’re contributing to the growth of East Yorkshire-based companies that prioritise sustainability.
