Morso Wood Stove Zone Heating: A Win-Win Home Enhancement

    PORTLAND, TN, April 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "Turn off the lights when you leave a room" - you've surely heard this tip from your parents, grandparents or maybe it was President Obama. Well another common-sense energy conservation action that many homeowners employ is the use of energy-efficient zone heating wood stoves, designed by Danish manufacturer Morso, http://www.morsona.com.

"For centuries the Europeans have used two or three heating sources, as compared to the Americans who have, until recently, opted for a single source heat," explains Morso NA President Craig Shankster, "Morso wood stoves are designed specifically as a secondary zone heating source to keep the most used rooms cozy and warm, while lowering overall fuel costs."

Zone heating can add up to real savings, particularly in large homes where fuel costs can be quite expensive. While it may seem like a challenge to heat a home in a cost-effective manner, the right Morso wood stove in your prime living space can vastly improve your home center (no more hats or mittens rule, before turning up the thermostat), in addition to reducing overall home heating costs.

Because buying a wood stove is much like buying furniture. Morso has incorporated an interactive virtual living room into their website- http://www.morsona.com. Interested homeowners simply upload photos of their own living space, and then drag a Morso wood stove into the photo (or a stock image) to evaluate which Morso zone heating model looks the best.

Homes without chimneys or fireplaces can install a Morso 5660 fireplace insert with an innovative zero-clearance enclosure. This is excellent zone heating option for homeowners with drafty open fireplaces or folks in the process of a renovation or new build looking to outfit their homes with the advanced technology of a Morso 5660 fireplace insert and class A chimney.

Morso has a large selection of compact, modern styled, cast-iron wood stoves. No matter the size of the room or design preference, Morso has a high-quality energy efficient wood stove to meet zone heating needs.

All Morso stoves achieve high fuel efficiency through advanced wood combustion techniques. In the U.S. all Morso stove models qualify for the IRS consumer tax credit of 30% (up to $1500) available for the purchase and installation of a 75% efficient biomass stove, available through the end of 2010.

"To make zone heating really pay off, be mindful to turn down thermostats in areas that are not being used," advises Morso NA President Craig Shankster.
