Older fuels are not as cost efficient as fuel today. There are so many excellent ways to heat the home today. Enigin mentions this here.

Today we don’t have to pollute the envornment with coal with all that terrible black smoke that is let into the atmosphere. We don’t need chimney sweeps that climb up chimneys at their own peril in order to sweep out blocked chimneys.

Have you ever seen old movies of old terraced houses with their chimneys bellowing all that black smoke? Well today at least most homes dont have such a type of fuel to heat the home. Although they’re are some stately homes and those thay prefer the old fashioned way of actually useing the real brick fire place with all that heavy coal to light up and watch burn.

Today most of us have gas central heating. We even have gas fake old fashioned fireplaces. However even gas is an not an everlasting resource. Its also not the healthiest to be a stuffy overheated house. There are better ways to not overdoe the heating and at the same time save money on heating bills.

These can be simple procedures such as heat proofing homes. Lofts can be heat proofed as well as doors and windows. Dooors can be closed to keep in the heat and in rooms where there isn’t anyone to benefit from the heat the radiators can be truned off.

As well as saving money on heating and cutting down its use there are new heat sources that are extremely cost efficient and very enviornmetally friendly for those that can afford to implement them and these are solar heating. Science has come a long way in being able to helping find new ways of utilizing the worlds resources responsibly.
