Pellet stove

Pellet stoves are an optimal alternative for heating any space, whether large or small, during winter. Depending on the heat output of the appliance we choose, we can heat larger or smaller areas, as well as depending on the amount of pellets the pellet stove burns.

In order to achieve a temperature that meets the needs of the home at the best energy price and efficiently, pellet stoves can help us generate greater economic savings while doing so.

There are numerous options we can install with different functionalities, types of operation, varied designs to fit any home, and a multitude of brands to choose the ideal one for your home.

How does a pellet stove work?

Pellet stoves generate heat through combustion that results from burning wood pellets, biomass, and in some cases olive pits. The combustion of the stove takes place in a visible combustion chamber that emits heat throughout the room where we have installed it. Depending on the power we use, it will consume more or less organic material for combustion.

What are pellets?

Pellets for use in stoves are an ecological fuel made from pressed wood sawdust without added binders or bark and with high calorific value.

They have a density between 680 and 720 kg/m3, a minimum length of 6 millimetres and a maximum of 10, with a diameter of 6 millimetres and a tolerance of 0.5 millimetres.

What types of pellet stoves are there?

When we think about acquiring pellet stoves, we find different options to add to our home, whether to replace an old one or to implement this innovative heating system.

Channelled pellet stove

This type of pellet stove is ideal if we are looking to heat the home in a sustainable, clean, and efficient way while being economical. It allows for complete heating of the room where it is installed in a short amount of time, as some models have a Boost mode that will heat more quickly and use less fuel during its use, as it can maintain the home's temperature while consuming the minimum amount.

The channelled pellet stove differs from its competitors because it is the only standard approved in Spain for the purpose of evacuating the smoke resulting from combustion. The channelled pellet stove incorporates a pipe for smoke extraction that must be installed to evacuate it outside the home, as it can be highly harmful to health.

Pellet stoves without smoke outlet

If we are looking to install a pellet stove without a smoke outlet in the home, we regret to inform you that, although it might seem the ideal option to avoid installation for smoke evacuation, due to the RITE regulation (Regulations for Thermal Installations in Buildings) that ensures citizen safety, the installation of this type of pellet stove is not allowed throughout Spanish territory.

In addition to being prohibited, pellet stoves without a smoke outlet are highly harmful to our health, as all the smoke resulting from pellet combustion would remain in the home and cause various health problems.
