Pellet Stove Insert – An Efficient Way to Heat Your Home Inserting a pellet stove to an existing fireplace is a good method to add warmth to your home. Pellet stoves are just like wood logs, but they burn clean and hot to keep your home warm. In contrast to wood or gas, pellets combust much more efficiently and produce less creosote. They are therefore carbon-neutral to burn. Energy Efficiency Pellet stoves, inserts, and other types of pellet heating are a fantastic alternative to traditional indoor heating methods such as wood, gas and electric. They burn biomass that is renewable and offer a highly efficient and cost-effective method to heat your home. Pellet fuel is made of recycled materials such as saw dust, bark and wood chips which have been pressed into uniform pellets that have less moisture. The fuel burns extremely efficiently and produces little creosote, ash and other harmful pollutant. The majority of pellet stoves as well as fireplace inserts and other items are self-lighting with thermostat controls. This allows you to enjoy a fire with no effort or maintenance. Pellet stoves produce lots of heat using the use of very little fuel, in contrast to traditional fireplaces that burn wood. The efficiency rating can go up to 85%. This means you'll receive more heat for your money. You can also use pellets to add to your primary source of heating and save money. In addition to their superior efficiency pellet inserts are also a great choice for homeowners who want the convenience of a roaring flame without the hassle of chopping and stacking wood. The fuel is stored in a container called a “hopper” that automatically feeds the combustion chamber after you turn on the stove. The size of the hopper determines how long the fire can last so you can sit by the flame for hours. Another benefit of a pellet insert is that it can be used with your existing masonry fireplace which makes installation easy and affordable. If you have a masonry fireplace that has been neglected over the years the pellet stove could bring it back to its original splendor and function while providing more warmth to your home. While pellet stove fireplace insert are simple to use however there are a few points to keep in mind prior to purchasing one. First, you'll require plenty of space to store the fuel and an adequate power source to operate the stove. Additionally, there might be less design options than other inserts. If these disadvantages are of concern to you, look into other types of inserts to find the perfect fit for your requirements. Convenience Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces which lose a significant amount of heat through the chimney The pellet inserts are engineered to maximize efficiency in heating. They can produce more heat with less fuel, and can save you money every year. The switch to a pellet heating system can also earn you a 30% tax credit on the purchase and installation. This is an additional financial incentive to choose a modern, clean heating option. Rather than cutting and stacking piles of wood, loading your pellet stove is as easy as placing a bag full of the nutrient-rich fuel into the hopper and then lighting it with an electric ignition. A thermostat controls the fire to maintain a constant temperature in the room, without the necessity of manual adjustment. Also, pellet stoves come with automatic shut-off features in the event that the hopper is full or in the event that the fire is not attended to for a long time. Pellets are a renewable and recycled resource derived from factory byproducts, so they're an eco-friendly alternative to coal and gas. They are also significantly cheaper and don't release greenhouse gases. Pellet inserts can assist you to lower your energy costs and ensure they remain consistent. Before deciding to switch to a pellet stove, you should take into consideration the following factors. For example, pellet fuel requires dry storage space, and could be difficult to locate in certain areas.

Clean Burn In contrast to fireplaces that burn wood, which create smoke and creosote pellet stoves burn efficiently. They also produce more heat, and can be controlled by thermostats. This is a great alternative for people who have difficulty to maintain a constant temperature with their central heating system. Pellet stoves are made of compressed wood or biomass waste, releasing less pollution than gas and firewood. This means that they are a greener choice for your home, as well as more efficient than burning wood or gas. A pellet stove insert will help you save up to 30% to 40% on your energy bills. When you're looking to purchase a new pellet stove, ensure that you purchase high-quality pellets. Pellets of poor quality can cause your insert to burn faster and reduce its efficiency. They also produce more ash, which will require more maintenance and could adversely affect the durability of your unit. Pick pellets that have a dense and hard texture, since they will burn more evenly and for longer. Like the Harman pellet insert in the image above the model from Lopi has a clean ash pan and can hold 40 to 70 pounds of pellets at once. It also has an omnidirectional rotary disk feed system to prevent overfeeding and jamming, while making it simple to switch between various grades of pellet fuel. A key distinction between an insert for a pellet stove and free-standing pellet stoves is that fireplace inserts are placed inside an existing chimney, which can help to cut down on installation costs. A professional will first clean and inspect the interior and exterior of the chimney as well as the flue to ensure that they are in good shape for the insert to be installed. The professional will install the venting device which connects the fireplace insert to the chimney, and extends down the chimney, or out of an exterior wall. You should maintain your pellet stove regularly to get the best out of it. This includes removing ash from the hopper as well as cleaning the flue to get rid of any deposits that have accumulated over time. When it comes to this type of maintenance it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Improper care and maintenance could cause damage. Aesthetics Many homeowners appreciate the appearance, smell and the atmosphere that comes with a fireplace that is wood-burning. With a pellet stove insert you can have the traditional look, but without losing the efficiency and heat output of an upgraded unit. Unlike traditional masonry fireplaces that operate as an open system, pellet inserts operate as closed systems. They fit perfectly into your existing firebox, creating a self-contained fireplace which produces a lot more warmth and energy savings by keeping warm air inside instead of blowing it up the chimney. When compared to natural gas or wood, pellet stoves provide a more sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. They make use of biomass waste, which is then compressed into pellets that provide a safe and reliable heating source. Furthermore they burn clean and produce less pollution and emissions than their wood and gas counterparts. The fuel for pellet stoves can be found in large quantities at the majority of home improvement stores. It's fairly inexpensive. As opposed to wood, which can be costly and labor intensive to cut and split, pellets are already made and ready to burn. This makes them a cost-effective and practical choice for a lot of users. In fact, the EPA has approved the use of this type of fuel as a renewable resource by 2023, which means you can claim an income tax credit from the federal government for it. With its high efficiency and low maintenance, as well as its cost-effectiveness, there's no reason to wonder that pellet stoves are becoming increasingly popular with homeowners.
