Sitting beside the fireplace in the coolest season in your sweet home always makes the surreal heavenly feelings. In the coolest climate it becomes very essential to make warm your rooms. There are a variety of room heaters could be found but if you want to have an economical, space saving and efficient room heater, the wood pellet stoves are the best choice.
Wood pellets are a type of wood fuel. These are generally made from the compacted sawdust. Wood pellets are usually produced as a byproduct of sawmilling and other wood transformation activities. These are extremely competent, produce very little waste, and inexpensive also.
Wood pellet stoves are versatile durable appliances. These are a kind of free standing fireplaces which do not required any chimney and hearth, but they add the fireplace ambiance to the rooms and they produce a considerable amount of heat. Most pellet stoves are auto-igniting and cycle themselves on and off controlled by an automatic thermostat. Automatic ignition stoves can be equipped with remote controls. Current technological researches have innovated the high definition pellet stoves. This type of pellet stove system automatically runs a diagnostic test if an imminent problem arises.
A properly cleaned and well maintained wood pellet stove or fireplace does not create creosote, the sticky, flammable substances. Wood pellets are burnt completely and create only a layer of fine fly-ash at the time of ignition. The performance and ash output of the pellets can be different as per the quality of pellet fuel. The best quality pellets produce less than one percent ash content, while standard or low grade pellets produce two to four percent ash.
The wood pellet stoves require electricity to its blower which distributes the hot air outwards. These stoves drive the hot air they produced outward, so that the heat can go farther than it would naturally. The pellets are burnt so completely that they hardly emit any smoke. As a result of that it is not compulsory to build a large chimney to channel smoke out of the home. Wood pellet stoves only need a small pipe leading outside to dispose of excess smoke. As the Wood pellet stoves are so efficient it creates less than a cup of fly ashes if around 40 pound of wood pellets is burnt. Wood pellet stoves generate heat more efficiently than bigger and more expensive gas heaters.
Wood pellet stoves are the best substitute for gas or electrical heating system. This is very economical and efficient enough to produce sufficient heat to warm an entire house. This is one of the most non-polluting heating appliances. Currently the heating system industry is substantially moving towards the bio friendly, combustible and renewable energy. The byproducts of the pellets are also used as the fuel for the wood pellet stoves.
As temperatures continue to drop and the cost to heat the home continues to increase, we start to scramble for affordable alternatives to gas and oil. While many people drift toward electric space heaters, gas fireplaces, gel fuel fireplaces or other secondary heat sources, the pellet stove is often bi-passed completely. It’s time to spotlight this very special, all-too-frequently ignored heat source. Here are the basics.
What Is a Pellet Stove/What are Pellets? Pellet stoves are fuel burning appliances that burn “pellets” rather than oil, gas or coal. Typically running on electricity, pellet stoves have built in thermostats, exhaust blowers and some sort of a venting system that must be installed in the home. The “pellets” themselves are typically made from 100 percent recycled sawdust, wood chips, bark, agricultural crop waste, recycled paper or other organic materials. About the size of a cornel of bran cereal, there are different types of pellet stoves that burn different types of pellets. Corn pellet stoves burn corn pellets, wood pellet stoves burn wood pellets and regular pellet stoves burn a variety of types of pellets - just make sure you read your stove’s directions before burning a specific type of pellet.
How Efficient Are Pellet Stoves? They are extremely efficient to operate. Not only that but they are low maintenance and convenient to use. Pellet stoves have a much higher combustion rate and heating efficiency than wood stoves or fireplaces. Combustion efficiencies for pellet stoves tend to range from 75 to 85 percent, which make them exempt from the E.P.A.’s smoke-emission testing requirements and heating capacities range from 8,000 to 90,000 B.T.U.s per hour (way more than the 3,000 B.T.U.s put out by most gel fireplaces), making them suitable for condos, homes and apartments. Pellet stoves produce minimal air pollution and are considered to be the cleanest of all solid fuel-burning residential heating appliances.
How Stylish Are Pellet Stoves? If this kind of stove was to lose points anywhere, it would be in the style department. Many pellet stoves are a bit clunky and awkward in appearance, making them more difficult to complement certain decor styles. If your home is leaning in a more modern/contemporary direction, there are some pellet stoves for you to consider! There are also pellet fireplace inserts which can be retro-fit over your existing wood fireplace for a more energy efficient/heat efficient option for your home. These are also more subtle in appearance, simply slipping over your existing fireplace. Whatever your style, there’s probably a pellet stove to match your sensibilities, anyway, being energy efficient is always in style, right?
How Much Will It Cost Me? In addition to its physical appearance, another potential downside is how it might drive up your electric bill. If you are considering using a pellet stove as a secondary heat source for a room and gas or oil heating elsewhere in your home, your bills are likely to be higher than you might like. On the other hand, if you opt to use a pellet stove as your home’s primary heating source, you’re likely to save money. Buying the pellet stove itself is probably going to cost you between $1,600 and $3,000, depending on what style you decide on.
How Readily Available Are These Pellets Pellets should be available at most hardware stores or outdoor supply stores, though your best bet may be online. Pellet fuel typically is sold in 40 pound bags at around $3 to $4 dollars each. You can also get pellets for $120 to $200 per ton. One ton of pellets is about equal to 1.5 cords of firewood, just to give you some kind of comparison. Homeowners that use pellet fuel as their main source of heat typically go through 2 to 3 tons of pellet fuel per year.
