Save Time and Money With a Pellet Burning Stove







Saving energy and cutting electricity bills are big considerations in this economy. If you already have a fireplace, you know the beauty that they add to your home. Unfortunately, fireplaces are very inefficient. You probably already have realized this if you have ever stood directly in front of a fireplace and were nice and warm but if you moved out of that area you felt a cold draft. There is an answer to this problem, an energy efficient pellet burning stove.

Wood pellets are usually made from sawdust and wood shavings, and are usually sold in 50 lb bags. The nice thing about bags of pellets is that they can be easily stored, even carried over year after year, and are very affordable. Because pellet stoves burn very hot, they do not require electric blowers to throw heat into a room.

A Wood Pellet Burning Stove can easily be inserted and vented through your existing fireplace. An extremely important feature is that the pellet stove is a life-saver in the event of a power outage because not electric blowers are needed.

If you find yourself without electricity, pellet stoves can be used not only for heat but for cooking also. This is important when the microwave doesn’t work, the electric stove is out and your sole source of light and heat are the pellet burning stove.

As the cost of energy continues to climb, a wood burning stove is an affordable method of heating the house or office. With a modest investment, you can cut your heating bills for years to come.
