Due to the sharp rise in energy prices, the demand for wood-burning stoves in Germany has increased significantly. “At the moment we have 60 to 75 percent more requests for advice this year than in previous years,” said the spokesman for the Federal Association of Chimney Sweeps, Andreas Walburg. “That’s simply because gas, oil and electricity prices have exploded.” However, everyone has to calculate for themselves, because the wood prices have also risen significantly. Like many others, house and apartment owners also have another concern. “Many are afraid of a blackout and therefore want more alternatives to heat their house so that they are not out in the cold in winter.” According to the association, there are around 11.3 million single-room fireplaces for solid fuels throughout Germany, including stoves, fireplace inserts, open fireplaces and heating stoves.
