A home heating stove is sometimes connected to a central heating system, but more often it is decided on a personal basis. The reasons for installing solid fuel units can be different. Often this is the lack of the ability to connect gas. But when gas appears, then a decision is already made unambiguously in the direction of it. When there is no such fuel, you will have to choose a long-burning heating furnace, since electrical structures are unreliable due to the likelihood of a trip.
Features
Today it is believed that cast-iron and brick stoves are in great demand. The former are chosen for their advantages, although there are disadvantages.
A brick heating stove will heat up for a long time, but at the same time retains heat. Steel structures are available. But from extreme heat, the metal begins to deteriorate and change shape, which is unsafe. It turns out that cast iron is the most reliable and most profitable in the assembly of such units. Although there is an opinion that if you pour cold water on the stove of such a furnace, then it can burst. Such a furnace is more convenient, since it does not need to be laid under an additional structure in the form of a foundation. The pig-iron option will cost less than the construction of a brick heating unit. Therefore, precisely such designs have become relevant. Since there is demand, there are enough offers in the market. Moreover, not everyone can correctly make their choice.
By purchasing a cast-iron heating stove for wood, everyone wants to get high quality and long life. And in order not to make a mistake, you need to know the characteristics of the proposed models on the market before buying and understand what will be relevant for the living space. In this case, there is a rating of the most popular and sought-after models. Based on it, it is easier to make a choice and make a purchase.

The decoration itself is of great importance in them, so that the brick retains heat as long as possible. After kindling, heat comes from the walls of the unit itself, which heats the room. Convection ovens can create heat in several rooms. The principle is to heat the air, which then leaves and raises the temperature in the room. Fireplaces are also in demand today. They not only become a beautiful addition to the interior, but also heat small rooms. Such options are relevant for a summer residence or a house with non-permanent residence.
