Replacing a Class-Leading Stratford SEB20 Boiler Stove

This installation is a major upgrade — the Elcofire Strata pellet boiler stove has replaced the highly regarded Stratford SEB20 wood-burning boiler stove. While the SEB20 was once a class-leading model, pellet technology now offers superior efficiency, ease of use, and reduced running costs.

Homeowners benefit from all the warmth of their old system plus the added convenience of automatic pellet feeding, programmable controls, and cleaner burning technology.

Switching from a traditional wood-burning boiler stove like the Stratford SEB20 to a pellet boiler stove such as the Elcofire Strata offers several advantages:

Higher efficiency: Pellets burn more consistently than logs.
Convenience: Automatic pellet feed means no more constant tending.
Eco-friendly: Cleaner burning with lower emissions.
Easy storage: Bagged pellets are compact and simple to handle.
Reduced heating bills: Efficient combustion saves money.
Smart controls: Timers and thermostats provide heat when you need it.

For homeowners in Ireland, pellet stoves are the smart choice for reducing heating costs while enjoying modern comfort.
