Wood:Clean, green… and it's carbon neutral!

The environment is not just ours, it’s our children’s and the generations to come. Many decisions made on a daily basis affect our planet and the type of heating you install in your home is one of the biggest contributions you can make to our environment. Climate change is real, and everyone can help to make a difference.

Many people think gas or electricity is the right choice for the environment, but gas like all fossil fuels are not renewable and produce carbon. Electricity can be clean and green if it comes from hydro or wind generation, but much of New Zealand’s electricity comes from gas and coal. Metro wood fires operate at very high efficiencies and the energy is generated at the point where it is used, in your home!

Wood is carbon neutral releasing the same amount of CO2 when burnt as if it was left to decompose. CO2 produced by burning wood is re-absorbed by plants and trees through photosynthesis, helping the trees to grow and producing oxygen for us to breathe. Wood is the worlds #1 renewable fuel. New Zealand’s climate produces a lush green environment, ideal for pine plantations which ensure long term availability, at the lowest cost of any fuel available. Wood is simply stored energy from the sun. A single kilogram of dry pine holds over 5kW’s of energy!
