The capricious Melbourne climate demands foresight. As the city basks in the deceptive warmth of summer, the prudent homeowner considers the coming winter. A well-maintained wood heater is essential for enduring the colder months with comfort and efficiency.
Scheduling a service during the milder seasons offers distinct advantages. Not only does it prevent the stress of last-minute bookings, but it also allows for meticulous attention to detail from your technician. A thorough inspection and cleaning, conducted when the heater is cold, ensures optimal performance when the first chills arrive.
Melbourne Wood Heaters boasts a team of seasoned professionals dedicated to the art of wood heater maintenance. Their expert hands and years of collective experience guarantee a comprehensive service. From assessing the flue system’s integrity to scrutinising internal components, they ensure your heater is primed for the rigours of winter.
To optimise your heater’s efficiency and longevity, the choice of fuel is paramount. Dry hardwood, with a moisture content between 10-15%, is ideal. Avoid the temptation of softer woods or damp timber, as these can lead to creosote buildup and potential damage.
By investing in timely maintenance and selecting the appropriate fuel, you safeguard your wood heater’s performance and extend its lifespan. As the winter winds howl, your well-prepared hearth will offer a sanctuary of warmth and comfort.
