As the nights draw in and temperatures begin to drop, there’s nothing quite like the warmth and comfort of a real fire. But if you’re thinking about installing a new stove, log burner, or fireplace ready for the autumn and winter months, timing is everything.

That’s why savvy homeowners plan ahead, securing their new fire in the quieter months when stove retailers offer discounts, stock levels are high, and skilled installers have availability. By choosing the right time to buy, you not only save money but also ensure your home is winter-ready before the first frost arrives.

But as we move into 2025, with energy prices fluctuating, homes becoming smarter, and more people living in apartments or smaller spaces, the question becomes more important than ever.
