Pellet Stoves on Sale
Pellet stoves can be a practical alternative to traditional wood-burning fireplaces. They utilize a fuel source sourced from compressed sawdust and wood byproducts.
pellet stoves inserts provide convenience, with features such as automated thermostats and programmable thermostats. These technologies allow you to monitor your stove and keep it at a the temperature at a comfortable level.
Energy Efficiency
Pellet stoves offer homeowners energy efficiency and control, a safe and natural alternative to propane, oil or electric resistance heaters. These durable stoves burn compressed pellet fuel constructed from dried, ground wood or other biomass to produce constant heat for long periods of time. They can be used in conjunction with existing heating systems, or as the main source of heat, based on home size and heating needs.
Many states and localities also offer rebates on efficient pellet stoves. This makes them an affordable heating solution. These incentives, coupled with low operating costs and minimal maintenance makes pellet stoves an excellent choice for anyone who wants to cut down on their energy bills.
The EPA estimates an efficiency of 78% for pellet stoves, though actual performance can be significantly better. Innovation and competition have led to improvements in both combustion technology and emission controls with more than 12 new models available on the market that emit less than half a gram particulate matter per hour. It's not too long before the market designs and tests stoves that emit less than 0.1 grams of particulate matter per hour. This would be a significant milestone, which could coincide with state- and national-level renewable heating goals.
A pellet stove produces less pollutants than other wood- and coal-burning boilers and furnaces. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and encourages sustainable, low-impact harvesting of wood. These stoves are an excellent option for consumers who are concerned about the impact of deforestation, or are looking for an alternative to expensive heating oil and propane.
The majority of pellet stoves are equipped with automated pellet feeding systems and thermostatic controls that ensure an even flow of heat based on the temperature set. This ensures that the heating system is operating at its maximum efficiency without much intervention from the user. Some models even have remote start options, and connect to a smart thermostat for fully automated operation.
Using a pellet stove can save homeowners a substantial amount of money on heating expenses over the period of a few years. This is especially true when you use the stove in conjunction with an existing heating system or as your primary heating source. In these situations it's not uncommon for homeowners to be able to recoup their initial investment in a few winters by reducing energy costs in the first place.
Easy Maintenance
Pellet stoves are easy to operate and don't require as much care as wood stoves or other heating options. However, you will have to maintain the stove to keep it working properly throughout the winter. To do so, you'll need a few supplies such as a stove brush, a soot remover paper towels, and commercial glass cleaners for pellet stoves. You'll need a metal container for the ash, and a vacuum cleaner with a dusting attachment in order to keep the vent free of ash.
A pellet stove operates by supplying fuel in the form of small pellets into an electric auger that feeds the pellets into a combustion chamber called a burn pot in order to create heat. The burn pot as well as the hopper are shielded from overheating to make sure the stove remains efficient and safe. Some pellet stoves even have an automatic ignition, power modulation, and an exhaust fan built-in.
The majority of pellet stoves are designed to use only high-quality wood pellets made from wood chips, sawdust bark, and other natural materials. They also require low moisture content to avoid burning too fast and creating excessive smoke and ash. The top-rated pellet stoves have an efficiency rating of 82 percent, which can help you save on heating costs.
When selecting a pellet stove take a look at the user's manual to learn what kind of fuel it will work with and the best way to take care of the stove. It is also important to know the size of hopper you'll need and the often it's required to be cleaned.
Some of the most popular pellet stoves are made to hold large amounts of fuel and have a capacity that can provide warmth to a whole home. Some pellet stoves have smaller hoppers that only require refilling every day. Certain models require an electric auger in order to work, which means they can't operate without power or an additional battery. If you choose a model that requires an electric auger, it's important to buy backup batteries so you can continue cooking in the event of power outage.
Low Carbon Emissions
Wood pellet stoves are an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels. They are made from renewable, natural resources, such as recycled cardboard, recycled paper, and paper pulp sludge which could otherwise be discarded as waste. Other heating methods produce higher levels of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. They also produce volatile organic compounds. This kind of heating is a great option to reduce your energy costs and improve the environmental impact of your home while improving the quality of indoor air.
When you are choosing a wood pellet stove look for one with a high efficiency rating that effectively converts the fuel into heat. A good guideline is to choose a stove that is capable of producing up to 40,000 BTUs an hour to provide enough heat for the average home.
Look for a stove that has safety features to protect against fire hazards or overheating. Pellet stoves require regular maintenance. This includes cleaning the ash pan and ensuring proper ventilation. They can be a fantastic supplement to an existing heating system, but they must be sized for the space and positioned in a spot where they can easily circulate heat throughout the home.
Most pellet stoves feature programmable controls that allow you to choose your preferred temperature and timeframe. This makes them easy to operate and ensures that your home is properly heated while emitting the least amount of emissions. Furthermore, many pellet stoves have built-in exhaust systems that purify and vent combustion byproducts, including gases and particulate matter outside your home.
The emissions of PM, BC, and OC were significantly decreased at higher fuel loads, with the exception for a small increase in OC when fuel loads are low due to a higher absorption based on wavelength. The results show that wood pellet stoves produce significantly less CO2, NOx, SOx and PAH than conventional wood-burning stoves.
The type of pellets that you select will impact the efficiency of your stove. Select top quality pellets that do not smell and have less moisture. They also contain a tiny amount of ash. These pellets have the highest heating capacity, which makes them more effective at generating heat than other pellets.
Cleaner Environment
By decreasing carbon dioxide emissions wood pellet stoves help protect the environment. The hoppers of these stoves are typically larger than the ones found on a traditional wood-burning fireplace and make it easy to keep a constant supply of fuel, and reducing the need for frequent replenishment. The pellets themselves are made of natural and renewable materials, including wood chips, recycled sawdust and paper, so you know the heat you're receiving comes made from a sustainable source.
The high efficiency of pellets stoves contributes to the environment being healthier. They can produce 50% more BTU than a wood-burning stove that has an EPA certification. This allows you to keep your house warm and decrease your heating costs. Pellet stoves emit less particulates, smoke, and other harmful gases than other varieties of wood stoves because the combustion process is more controlled. The the ash produced by pellet stoves, however, is still more polluting to that of log-burning stoves.
Another way that a pellet stove helps the environment is by getting rid of the carbon emissions from wood processing and transportation. The majority of pellets are manufactured in the US and Canada. This means they have a smaller carbon footprint than products imported into Europe or Asia. They're also gathered and stored locally, further minimizing environmental impact.
In addition to the environmental advantages, wood pellet burning stoves offer the convenience of easy heating at the flick of a switch. If you're in search of an efficient, clean-burning and convenient home heating system that can reduce your energy bills, take a look at our wide selection of pellet stoves available for sale.
