New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and with the New Year the home energy tax credit expires. We can help you. You have until December 31, 2010 to purchase your wood or pellet burning fireplace, fireplace insert, or stove if you want to take advantage of this tax credit. At West Sport Grill and Fireplace Shop, we have everything you need to take advantage of this money savings. But, we are also offering $200 off every Hearthstone pellet or wood burning stove, insert or fireplace. We feel that Hearthstone will meet or exceed your expectation which is why we have decided to offer this additional money savings. Burning wood is one of the most romantic, beautiful and satisfying ways to heat your home.

Wood burning stoves, inserts and fireplaces can be very economical, while also offering the additional benefits of a beautiful flame, relaxing warmth, and a romantic ambiance.
Environmental concerns and strict EPA regulations have helped wood stoves grow in popularity. EPA-certified stoves now burn 72-82% more cleanly than those of the past. Wood has a much higher BTU capacity than gas, and wood is also a renewable resource. The tax credit is being offered for all hearth appliances that use renewable energy- this means wood or pellet burning. You can count on wood and wood pellets being around as a reliable and clean source of fuel for years to come. With rising fuel and gas prices, wood stoves are a much more economical way to heat your home. And you will stay warm even if your power goes out.

Happy Holidays from West Sport, this is our gift to you, as our neighbors. Come in and save $1500 dollars before December 31.

Now that winter is here have you found that you have a room in your home that just is not warm enough? With the electric heaters from Comfort Furnace, this no longer is an issue. Comfort Furnace is an attractive electric furnace that is both safe and efficient. It costs less than a coffee maker to run this electric space heater (less than $1 a day)! And, by using infrared heat, like the sun, it is more effective than the traditional electric heater. Unlike most heaters that provide uneven hot spots, the heat from a Comfort Furnace surrounds you–no matter where you are in the room. It heats the air through infrared heating elements.

The result is an even, soft heat that is normally balanced between the floor and ceiling by no more than a few degrees difference. Because of today’s spiraling gas, oil, propane, and other energy costs, The Comfort Furnace will pay for itself in no time, and it is designed to last 15-20 years. But this electric heater also promotes healthier, cleaner air. Comfort Furnace heaters destroy bacteria, virus, mold, mildew and other organic organisms that cause respiratory distress, colds and flu’s. They are the perfect heating source for your home. And, it is a safe source of localized heat that cannot burn or harm your pets, children, or furniture.

But even better, the comfort furnace is attractive. Invite people over to and see if they can spot your new Comfort Furnace which looks more like an end table. Unlike the dangerous and inefficient space heaters of the past, it looks exactly like a piece of furniture. Which means this more efficient and effective way to heat your home can match your décor as well. So if you have a refinished basement that just is not warm enough, or a tucked away home office where the heat does not travel too, no worries, West Sport in Sudbury has the answer. Located near Framingham, Marlborough, and Wayland, visit or call us today.

Ventless gas fireplaces literally do not have any venting which makes it a little more economical to install. Homeowners love the practicality of this heating device because it only requires propane or natural gas and the air circulating in the room where the unit is to be used. Not to mention, you get to enjoy a roaring fire at the touch of a button! No mess or fuss.

This type of fireplace can produce enough BTUs to be considered an alternative or secondary heating source. It can efficiently heat a room, and you'll find there are a wide variety of styles and designs that look just like a traditional fireplace and mantle. Gas Fireplaces can even be hooked up to a thermostat, for a constant temperature. Keep in mind when you are purchasing a vent-free gas fireplace that West Sport handles all of your installation needs.

It is cold outside. Are you looking for a more efficient or perhaps greener ways to heat your home? Then you should consider a pellet stove. Pellet stoves burn pellets made from wood chips, bark, and compacted sawdust. Besides the ease of using a pellet stove, which you light with the touch of a button, they are very efficient, produce very little waste, can be installed on any outside wall even if there is no chimney, and they use inexpensive fuel. Many models of pellet stove also qualify for the energy tax credit of up to $1500.

Wood-pellet stoves have an average efficiency rating of 80- to 85%. For those of you who do not know, this is very high! The pellets are burned completely giving off very little smoke, therefore, a large chimney is not necessary.  If your home does not have a chimney, that is not a problem either. Pellet stoves only need a small pipe leading outside. Because pellet stoves are so efficient, they hardly produce any waste. A 40-pound bag of pellets produces less than a cup of ashes. People can use a wood pellet stove for months without having to empty the ash bin. Additionally, because it has a higher combustion and heating efficiency than a traditional wood stove, less air pollution is being produced.

There are many models and sizes of pellet stoves for sale that you can choose from. Depending on the size, or the floor plan of your home, it is certainly possible to purchase a pellet stove to do the majority of home heating making a large dent in your gas or electric home heating bills.
