When choosing a fireplace or stove for your home, you are faced with an important choice. The wood stove is known to be cosy and gives a kind of nostalgic feel. The gas fireplace, on the other hand, is practical and adds a special touch to any room. Besides these two options, there is a third, lesser-known, option. In this article, we discuss the pellet stove and why this unique appliance might be the solution for your home.
The function of a pellet stove
A pellet stove is designed to efficiently and sustainably provide heat to your home. By burning compressed wood pellets, the stove produces heat that is evenly distributed throughout the room. These pellets are made from wood waste such as sawdust and wood chips. This makes it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional heating methods.
The pellet stove works automatically: it doses pellets and regulates combustion to maintain a constant temperature. Besides its main function, heating, it also provides ambience, although this is not the main reason to choose a pellet stove.
How do I choose the right pellet stove for my home?
Choosing the right pellet stove starts with determining the heating needs of your home. Look at the capacity of the stove, which should be matched to the size of the room you want to heat.
A model suitable for both smaller and larger rooms is the Trimline Woody Loft Pellet. This pellet stove has an output of 6.1 kW, which means it is suitable for rooms from 35 to 95 cubic metres. When you purchase this beautiful appliance, you will currently receive a free DHK pellet storage, pellet scoop and a bag of pellets. So you’re off to a great start to the heating season!
Maintaining a pellet stove
Pellet stove maintenance is essential for optimum performance and longer life. Regular cleaning of the burner pot and glass prevents accumulation of dirt and soot, which increases efficiency. Buying the right cleaning products for the stove is therefore essential.
It is recommended to have a thorough inspection and cleaning by a professional at least once a year, including checking the flue. Always use high-quality pellets to minimise contamination. Regular maintenance will keep your pellet stove safe, efficient and reliable in use, with even heat distribution in the house.
