Have you made any financial savings since installing your stove?

I was reminded of this article.

At the time couldn't work out how a tree firm could dismantle a tree to provide logs cheaper than just selling her some logs, which she could burn straight away. Still, if it's in the Mail must be true.

Re the above article.

Installed our burner myself, took videos and photos of the whole process, liner drop, fixing flu pipe to liner etc and got it signed of by the council. It's  a 12 kW Burley and pumps out massive heat. Logs are essential free. Central heating comes on for 2 hours each morning during the winter colder months and that's it. We save significant money on or gas bill. What I would say is that typically getting a stove installed by a shop / retailer is outrageously expensive given that most installs are pretty straight forward. I know because I always deliver the logs afterwards! So if you are spending 4-5k on a one day install of a stove and then commercially buying logs to fuel it, it's a total luxury that will NEVER pay for itself or save you long term money. Sorry but that's simply the truth.

How much did the BCO charge for the inspection?
