Pellet Stoves on Sale
Pellet stoves provide a convenient and affordable alternative to traditional fireplaces. They use the fuel source of compressed sawdust and wood byproducts.
Modern pellet stoves provide convenience, with features such as automatic thermostats and programmable thermostats. These technologies make it easy to keep your stove at a comfortable temperature and monitor your stove for maintenance needs.
Energy Efficiency
Pellet stoves can provide homeowners with energy efficiency and control, a clean and natural alternative to propane, oil or electric resistance heaters. These durable stoves use compressed pellet fuel made of dried, ground wood or other biomass. They generate consistent heat over a long time. These stoves can be used as a backup source of heat, or with existing heating systems depending on the size and the heating requirements of your house.
Additionally, many states and localities offer rebates for efficient pellet stoves, making them a cost-effective heating option. These incentives, combined with low operating costs and minimal maintenance, make pellet stoves an attractive option for anyone looking to reduce the cost of heating their home.
The EPA assumes an efficiency of 78 percent for stoves made of pellets but actual performance could be much higher. Innovation and competition has led to improvements in both burner technologies and emission controls. More than a dozen models are now available that emit less than half a grain of particulate matter per hour. It could be a matter of time before the industry moves to design and test stoves that are below 0.1 grams per hour, a significant milestone that could be in line with national and state renewable heating targets.
A pellet stove releases less toxins than other wood- or coal-burning furnaces and boilers. It also reduces greenhouse gases and encourages sustainable, low-impact harvesting of wood. These stoves are an excellent choice for those concerned about deforestation or who are seeking a sustainable alternative to costly heating oil and propane.
Most pellet stoves have automated pellet feeding systems, and thermostatic controls that provide the same amount of heat, based on the temperature set. This ensures that the heating system operates at its best without requiring much input from the user. Some have remote start options and can connect to the smart thermostat to provide fully automated operation.
A pellet stove can save homeowners lots of money over the course of a few years. This is especially true when you are using the stove alongside an existing heating system, or as your primary heating source. In these cases, it's not uncommon for a homeowner to recover the initial investment in just a few winters with reduced costs for energy alone.
Easy Maintenance
Pellet stoves are easy to use and do not require as much attention as wood stoves or other heating options. However, you'll have to maintain the stove to ensure it is operating properly throughout the winter. To do so, you'll need a few things like a stove brush, a soot remover, paper towels and commercial glass cleaners for pellet stoves. You'll also want to ensure you have a container made of metal to store the ash and a vacuum equipped with a dusting attachment to keep the flue vent clean of ash accumulation.
The pellet stove is powered by an electric motor that delivers small pellets to the combustion chamber, also known as the burnpot, from which they are then burned. The burn pot as well as the hopper are protected from overheating to keep the stove efficient and safe. Some pellet stoves have an automatic ignition, power modulation, and a built-in exhaust fan.
Most pellet stoves are designed to use only high-quality wood pellets made from wood chips, sawdust bark, and other natural materials. They also require a low moisture content to prevent burning too fast and creating excessive smoke and ash. The top-rated pellet stoves have a thermal efficiency rating of 82%, which can help you save on heating costs.
When you are choosing a stove made of pellets take a look at the user's manual to understand what type of fuel it works with and how you can best take care of the appliance. You'll have to know the size of the hopper as well as how often you need to empty it.
Some of the most popular pellet stoves are designed to store large amounts of fuel. They have the capacity to provide warmth to a whole home. Certain pellet stoves have smaller hoppers which only require refills every day. Certain models require an electric auger to function, and they can't operate without power or backup batteries. If you opt for a model which requires an auger, you should buy backup batteries to continue cooking in case of a power failure.
Emissions of low carbon
Wood pellet stoves are an eco-friendly, clean alternative to fossil fuels. They are made from renewable, natural resources -- such as recycled cardboard, paper and paper pulp sludge which would otherwise be discarded as waste. Other heating methods generate higher levels of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. They also produce volatile organic compounds. This type of heating could lower your energy bills, and improve your indoor air quality, while making it less harmful to the environment.
When selecting a wood pellet heater, select one that has an efficiency rating that is high. This will ensure that the fuel is transformed into heat. As a general rule look for a model capable of delivering up to 40,000 BTUs an hour to heat a typical home.
In addition to the efficiency rating being high make sure you choose stoves equipped with safety features to guard against overheating and fire hazards. affordable pellet stoves need regular maintenance. This includes cleaning the ash pan, and ensuring adequate ventilation. They can be a fantastic addition to a heating system however, they must be sized for the space and put in a place where it is able to easily circulate heat throughout your home.
The majority of pellet stoves have adjustable controls that allow you to choose your preferred temperature and schedule. This makes them user-friendly and ensures that your home is properly heated while emitting very little emissions. Many pellet stoves come with built-in exhaust systems that are able to filter and exhaust combustion products, like particulate material and gases, outside of your home.
The emissions of PM, BC and OC were significantly lower at higher fuel loadings and OC, with the exception of a small increase in OC at low loads due to increased optical absorption that is wavelength-dependent. The results indicate that wood pellet stoves produce significantly less CO2, NOx, SOx and PAH than conventional wood-burning stoves.
The type of pellets that you choose will impact the performance of your stove. Premium pellets do not smell and have less moisture. They also have a lower volume of ash. They have the highest heating value, making them more efficient at producing heat than non-premium pellets.
Cleaner Environment
Utilizing wood pellet stoves for heating your home can help protect the environment by cutting carbon emissions. The stoves are larger in hoppers than a wood-burning stove. This allows for easier maintenance of an ongoing supply of fuel and reduces the requirement for frequent replenishment. The pellets are made of natural, renewable materials such as recycled sawdust and wood chips.
The high efficiency of pellet stoves also helps to create an environment that is cleaner. They can produce 50% more BTU than a stove that burns wood that is equipped with an EPA certification. This lets you keep your house warm and reduce the cost of heating. Pellet stoves produce less particulates, smoke, and other harmful gases than other varieties of wood burners because the combustion process is more controlled. However, the ash produced by pellet stoves remains more polluting than that produced by log-burning stoves.
Another way that a stove made of pellets can benefit the environment is through avoiding pollution from wood transportation and processing. Since the majority of pellets come from the US and Canada, they have a lower carbon footprint than those imported from Europe or Asia. The pellets are also harvested and stored locally to further reduce environmental impact.
Aside from the green benefits, wood pellet stoves also provide the convenience of simple home heating with just a flick of a button. Browse our selection of pellet stoves for sale if you're looking to find an efficient and clean home heating solution to lower your energy bills.
