Pellet Fire v Woodburner

Wendy from Mosgiel-Taieri

Okay. I have recently moved into my own home; a refurbished 1950's brick with double glazing. Insulation in both ceiling and floor.
My in-built fire is proving to be rather useless.
I am wanting to get a new fire. I WAS initially very set on a pellet fire; and then when an insulation person came around he said they're only designed for old grannies.
Since then I've had others rave about them. So I am doing some more investigating before I make my decision.
For those that HAVE put them into older homes, how have you found them... pros & cons.
Would really value others honest opinions, particularly going by their own experience; especially those that have gone from a wood fire to a pellet fire.
And is Otago Pellet Fires the only place to get them from here in Dunedin?
Many thanks!

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
