We are now heading towards the winter months and that means the inevitable increase in energy bills. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You could buck the heating bill trend in winter 2016 – 2017 by opting to install a boiler stove now.

You can use a boiler stove to provide hot water for your home and heat radiators, as well as getting the warmth and cosy appearance of a regular wood-burning stove.

If you think a boiler stove might be the right option for your home, here are a selection of the best appliances available this winter.
