With miles of sandy beaches, outstanding neighborhood parks, and other attractions, Niagara Falls is a summertime paradise. However, when winter arrives, lake-effect snow brings bone-chilling cold and nearly 8 feet of snow. With traditional fireplaces serving primarily as an ambient feature, many homeowners are installing wood stoves for more efficient, economical home heating. For over 60 years, the Felgemacher family has been providing Western New York with the largest selection of high-quality freestanding stoves from brands consumers trust.
Using a Wood Stove for Zone Heating
Central heating systems are notorious for wasting energy by heating empty rooms. By installing one or more freestanding stoves, you can lower your central thermostat and heat only the occupied rooms. Our wood stoves feature advanced technology that delivers incredible heat output. So, installing one in your living room, family room, or kitchen means you can keep your primary gathering space exceptionally toasty while saving significantly on your monthly fuel bills.
Economical Off-Grid Heating With a Wood Stove
When Western New York winter storms knock out the power, an electric furnace leaves you in the cold. A wood-burning stove provides complete off-the-grid energy independence. It will generate significant radiant heat, keeping your home warm even without electricity. Plus, firewood is a stable, locally sourced, and cost-effective fuel option that shields you from the volatile price spikes of natural gas, oil, and electricity.
Wood-burning Stoves for Niagara Falls Homes
Our wood stoves feature advanced airflow systems that maximize burn time while minimizing emissions. Some of our popular EPA-certified models include:
- Pacific Energy Vista LE: An exceptional option for smaller homes or specific heating zones between 500 and 1,500 square feet. It features an integrated air-wash system to keep the ceramic glass crystal clear so you can always enjoy a spectacular view of the roaring fire.
- Pacific Energy Super LE: The gold standard for medium-to-large layout spaces up to 2,000 square feet. This catalytic-free workhorse is widely popular for its extended-burn technology, so you can load it up for reliable overnight warmth.
- Pacific Energy Alderlea T5 LE: Combining the rugged durability of steel with the beautiful, historic charm of a cast-iron finish, the Alderlea T5 features a concealed cooktop surface, an invaluable feature for making hot soups and other meals when the power goes out.
Popular Firewood in Western New York
Western New York offers a wide selection of local firewood ready for your wood stove:
- White Oak: Widely considered the gold standard for overnight heating, it burns slowly and leaves behind long-lasting, glowing coals to keep your home warm until morning.
- Sugar Maple: Abundant across New York State, sugar maple provides strong, steady heat. It is highly favored for indoor wood stoves because it produces very few sparks, minimal smoke, and a sweet aroma. Perfect for cooking flapjacks or waffles on the cooktop of the wood stove.
