Heating your home with Wendron Stoves

When it comes to providing the most efficient and innovative products on the market, Wendron Stoves has led the way in Cornwall. As a technically savvy company, they serve as a solution to addressing our expectations and concerns surrounding environmental consciousness and impact. While it can be challenging and often costly to address the environmental issues of today, there are solutions out there that can help us and the environment. So, why not face the problem head on and take a look at what Wendron Stoves has to offer, particularly as we approach the colder season?

Wendron Stoves’ commitment to giving their customers the perfect product against evolving environmental needs has resulted in some innovative solutions over the years. From ensuring that all installation engineers are HETAS qualified to sourcing wood-pellet-burning stoves, the team are keen to challenge themselves to evolve and adapt for the future. This is why you’ll now find stoves in the range that incorporate smart technology via electronic control systems. Once the preserve of electric and oil-fired heating, complex controls are now available for the modest wood burner too. This means that we can use the technology we’re all familiar with, from our mobile phones to our tablets, to control our wood burners and mitigate several issues as we head into autumn.

What are the benefits of smart heating solutions?

There are a host of benefits to this, starting with minimising our impact on the environment. By exercising control over the heat from our burners using an electronic control system, you can achieve the cleanest combustion possible. As a result, you are actually getting the most from your wood! Start by setting the desired room temperature on your smartphone to prevent overheating, and when you’re not using your wood-burning stove, the air supply is automatically closed. This stops the hot air in the room travelling up your chimney and being wasted.

You can still light your cosy fire as usual, but this means you have the ease of letting the system control the air supply for you. If you change your mind and the room is too hot or cold, you still have the flexibility to adjust the temperature by simply using your smartphone. Finally, when it’s time to restoke, you’ll receive a notification on your phone, just as you do with any other App.

Market leading heating solutions

Currently, the market is being led by HWAM, from the small Danish town of Hørning. “HWAM® SmartControl™ allows you to regulate the temperature level in rooms heated with a wood-burning stove directly with a phone or tablet for the first time ever. Wood-burning stoves are essentially put on an equal footing with other heating methods; you are no longer restricted to electric heaters if you want to easily regulate your room’s temperature. Chief Executive Officer of HWAM, Stefan Hvam Pederson, explains: “This is a notable step ahead compared to all existing remote-control systems, where you just follow combustion and need to go all the way to the stove to try to regulate the heat.” He continues, “The new technology gives the user a fantastic level of comfort as it does not allow the room to get too cold or too hot – not even if you are engrossed in a good book or an exciting football game! At the same time, you can take delight in the documented certainty that you’re lighting the stove in the most eco-friendly way possible. The method makes it possible for you to save up to 50 percent of your firewood, simply because you take better advantage of it. This brings an additional benefit – cleaner air in both your house and your neighbourhood.”
