Increasingly more people are opting to include renewable energy features in their new home construction plans. As the popularity of pellet stoves increases, people know to talk to their architects and contractors about their desire to include alternative heating appliances in their new home. Whether you opt for a pellet burning fireplace or a free-standing pellet stove, your options of design, functionality, and fuel burning options (like corn) are vast. Many people even opt to install an alternative fuel burning furnace like this one.
For some, keeping a wood burning fireplace is important, even in a new home or remodel. And, that’s great. People need to be aware that having a wood burning fireplace doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice heat efficiency. Make sure you select a wood burning fireplace like the Magnum ZC that will produce efficient, long lasting heat, up to 75,000 B.T.U.’s per hour!
Frank B, a Magnum ZC fireplace owner says, “I love my Magnum ZC fireplace. Very efficient. I found you by Googling high efficiency wood burning stoves. After comparing products, I purchased your fireplace 5 years ago when we built our retirement home. My son is building a new home and will be contacting you soon to purchase a Magnum ZC based on seeing and using ours. Thanks.”

Purchasing a Flex-Fuel Appliance is Smart for Future Home Value

With diminishing home values, every purchase for the home has to count. With green energy on everyone’s mind purchasing a corn burning appliance for your home makes great dollars and sense.
While you are enjoying a 60 plus return on your investment every year in heating costs you are increasing the value of your home. A typical increase in value would be $3500.00. Added to this value is the fact that your home will be more attractive to a home buyer that is energy conscience and wants more money put in his or her pocket to make house payments.
If the time comes to sell your home, you may want to consider using a real estate agent who sees the value in alternative heating or is sensitive to green homes. As time goes on, I think we’ll see realtor and home buyers paying more attention to the energy efficient benefits each potential home offers.
