Coal-firing has been infamous for several years, and this is for good reason. First of all, coal-fired stoves are very dangerous. When coal is burned, it emits chad, which kills about 100 people every year. The risk of suffocation is quite high, and carbon monoxide poisoning is even higher. Coal also emits into the atmosphere a lot of pollutants, harmful gases, dust and other substances that contribute to pollution and poor air quality.A ton ofcoal costs from 700 to 900 PLN, which means that heating a house with an area of 150 m2 will cost around four thousand PLN

This is the most ecological solution, as wooden pellets do not produce carbon dioxide during combustion, which is one of the main culprits of global warming. Another huge advantage of pellet is its price, because a year of heating a house with an area of 150 m2 costs about 1700 PLN
Electric heating is becoming more and more popular in Poland. Apparently it is more environmentally friendly than fuel, but remember that Polish power plants are mainly coal-fired, which makes it not at all ecological option. Electric heating can be environmentally neutral, as long as you get your electricity from the sun, using photovoltaic panels. Electric heating is for a house of 150 m2 costs annually (without photovoltaic panels) about 5 thousand PLN
