Choosing your Harvia heater
Wood burning vs electric
Wood-burning heaters provide a traditional, rustic ambiance with the aroma of burning wood and the enjoyment of watching the fire crackle. However, they require more preparation time and take longer to heat up. Electric heaters offer convenience, precise temperature control, and faster heating times. The choice depends on personal preference, available space, desired experience, and practicalities like firewood availability and electrical installation.
