Part of the reason we have woodburners is that I don't like being dependent on a single energy source. As the owner of a Victorian terrace house, we had to do something with the chimneys regardless, to prevent damp issues. So closing the open fire places with the wood burners cuts down the draughts, keeps the chimneys dry, and the chimney breast makes a great storage heater.
If I was building a completely new property, I would want to build to passive haus standards, but would still probably have something like a woodburner, just in case. I have trust issues
