From the beginning of construction in the territory of Latvia there was an important issue that affected any house. How to get heat? As the territory of Latvia was always rich in forests, the answer was obvious - with firewood. This heating variant is also topical today. However, with the development of heating and the rhythm of human life, many classic heating, with wood, is not enough. Consequently, the author looks at the types of heating in Latvia's households and their development. As well as the consumption of wood fuel and its development trends. Wood specialty products, such as pellets, are nowadays a popular fuel.
