Wood Pellet Stoves "Heat your Room for 5 days for Less than €5"

Wood Pellet Stoves are increasing in popularity, they’re incredibly efficient and come in three different functions. The three functions available are room heaters, ductable and boiler stoves. Room heaters do as described in that they are designed to heat the space they are situated similar to a standard stove. Ductable wood pellet stoves heat not only the room they are situated in but also an adjoining room via a ducting. Boiler wood pellet stoves heat household water to heat radiators or underfloor systems etc. These three main variations are all fed by 6mm wood pellet which can be sourced in Ireland very widely and very easily delivered to your door. I will discuss more in relation to the costs below in the running costs.

Room
Heaters

A wood
pellet air stove can be used to heat a single room of almost any size and can
also distribute heat to adjoining rooms quite effectively by means of a built
in fan. The fan creates circulation of air and leaving doors open will allow
this warm air to distribute throughout the house.    

Ductable
Stoves

Sometimes
heat has no means of travelling through your house efficiently and due to walls
and corners in your home the only solution is a ductable stove. Heat is simply
moved through a duct using the stoves integrated fan, to a room or rooms above
or adjacent to the stove itself

Boiler
Stoves

With efficiencies
of up to 97% boiler stoves are incredibly effective and efficient. They also offer
a  visible flame and a portion of the
heat to the room similar to a conventional boiler stove.

Running
Costs

This is the
real winner when it comes to making a decision to buy a wood pellet stove. The running
costs are minimal. The efficiency generated by the unit really helps to keep
your running costs down. Taking the Martina 7 air stove as an example a product
from our suppliers Kalor. The pellet tank capacity is 13kg which will cost less
than €5 to fill if buying from Leinster pellets.

Minimum pellet consumption 0.6kgs per hour / Maximum 1.4kgs per hour this gives an approx. burn time of 9-22 hours for less than €5. If you only use your stove in the evening from 7pm -11pm you could heat your room with 7kws of heat which is equivalent to an average sized stove for 5 days for less than €5. The electrical requirements are 300w at start up only to heat the glow plug to get the pellets to catch fire and 100w running the majority of your burn to run the display and timers etc.

Living
with my new wood Pellet Stove  

Wood pellet
stoves are built with efficiency at the forefront, the main agenda is heating
your home for less. The stove uses a fan to burn the pellets and distribute the
heat, the sound of this fan needs to be taken into account when placing your
stove. The stove does have a visible flame its no roaring log fire but it is a
real flame and offers a warm and cosy feeling to any room. Cleaning your wood pellet
stove is incredibly easy. If you’re used to a coal or log fire then the ash
content goes from a bucket to an egg cup. You still need to carry fuel to the
stove but you will carry it once and it will burn easily for 8-12hrs. The glass
at the front can be easily cleaned by any standard stove glass cleaner and you
can hoover around the fire box once a month to clear any loose debris or ash
that has fallen from the burner. Most wood pellet stoves come with auto
ignition, a timer, thermostatic control, remote control and mobile phone activation.
