We bought a wood-burning stove second-hand, and got free wood from timber offcuts chucked out by truss-roofing builders.
I boil up pots of water and have the kettle running. This has saved up to 30% on our electricity bill, especially for dishwashing and floor washing! Kettles are fast-boil these days and take a lot of power.
I even have a flat iron with the cord cut off and heat the iron on top of the stove!
One of the best investments we ever made - and so warm and welcoming, too!
