🔥 How to Save on Heating by Using Your Fireplace Efficiently in Mallorca 💰

🏠 Why Your Fireplace Can Help You Save on Heating

In Mallorca, many homes combine the fireplace with other heating systems.
However, a well-used fireplace can reduce total energy consumption by up to 30 % during the winter 🔥.
The key lies in choosing the right firewood and optimizing combustion.

👉 Also check which type of firewood produces the most heat for your fireplace.

🌳 Choose Firewood with the Highest Heat Output

Not all woods burn the same way or produce the same amount of heat.
Dense woods like holm oak, olive, or almond provide a slow and long-lasting burn, ideal for maintaining steady warmth without constant reloading.

💡 Tip: avoid wet or green wood — a lot of the energy is wasted evaporating the water.

🔥 Learn How to Light Your Fireplace Properly

The way you light your fire has a big impact on efficiency.
The trick is to create a stable heat base before adding large logs:

1. Use fine kindling and some dry pine 🌲.
2. Place larger logs on top, leaving air gaps between them.
3. Don’t overuse paper — it creates smoke and dirties the flue.

💨 Improve Draft and Hot-Air Circulation

An efficient fireplace doesn’t just heat the living room — it warms the whole house.
To achieve this:

• Keep the flue clean and checked regularly.
• Close internal doors to concentrate heat where needed.
• Use fans or heat diffusers if your fireplace supports them.
• Avoid opening the glass door too often during burning.

💰 Tricks to Keep the Heat Longer

1. Close shutters and curtains at night.
2. Seal cracks and gaps where warm air escapes.
3. Take advantage of residual heat: add large logs before bedtime.
4. Place refractory stones or bricks near the fireplace — they store heat and release it slowly.
