Hot stuff With winter around the corner, the shops are showcasing all sorts of heaters to keep your home warm. How do you know which type is most efficient and economical? Home Improver did a comparison and came up with some pointers

Wood-fired stove Pros: Extremely efficient at heating a relatively large space – and cheering. Relatively economical on wood. Cons: Expensive to install. You need to get the wood in; they are messy to clean.

WORDS VIVIEN HORLER

Open fireplace Pros: Cheering and romantic. Cons: Not very efficient – most of the heat goes up the chimney; they gobble up fuel and are messy to clean.
