The Eco-Friendly Warmth of Masonry Heaters
When it comes to heating our homes, most of us want the same things: warmth, comfort, and a system that doesn’t cost the Earth—literally. That’s where masonry heaters come in. Masonry heaters are timeless, ultra-efficient stoves that are not just cozy, they’re an efficient, low carbon alternative to other heating equipment – including traditional wood stoves. Last winter, SEEDS EcoCorps and Bungalow Builders worked hard to construct the intricate internal parts and external facade of a new masonry heater inside of the SEEDS Workshop located in Historic Barns Park.

Healthy Home Heating
As the temperature drops and we begin to spend more time indoors, we have creature comfort needs to maintain a reasonable temperature. The “Sick Building Syndrome” takes a strong foothold this time of year. How we choose to heat our homes determines both our comfort as well as the level of indoor air quality.
