Benefits of a Mini Pellet Stove

Small pellet stoves can provide you with energy-efficient warmth. These heating options are compact and have contemporary design that will add to your decor while adding functionality and minimizing the encroachment of the living space.

patio pellet stove stoves require electricity to power the fan and mechanisms for feeding pellets. If they have batteries backup systems or manual options, they may still be used during power outages.

Energy Efficiency

Pellet stoves are an excellent way to cut down on energy consumption because they burn renewable fuels that don't cause air pollutants. In addition, they don't need a complete chimney system as wood stoves do. A blower is used to deliver hot air through the heating ducts in your home or room. This also prevents smoking and odors from entering the living area.

The energy efficiency of the pellet stove is measured in BTUs which is the amount of heat created for each pound of pellet burned. The more the BTU rating of the stove is, the more efficient it is. Another factor that determines the energy efficiency of the pellet stove is its capacity for hoppers which indicates how long the stove will last before it needs to be refilled with pellets.

Certain pellet stoves feature the "green" mode that turns the stove off automatically when it's not being used for a long period of time. This mode saves even more energy by cutting down on the amount of energy that the stove consumes.

Pellet stoves are more eco green than wood burning stoves but they still require electricity to run their various components. For instance, certain models utilize augers to transfer the pellets into the combustion chamber which requires a motor to operate using electricity. The warm air created by the combustion process is then distributed throughout the room or home using fans. They also consume electricity, which can add up to a significant portion of your home's total energy use.

Think about a heat pump if you need an efficient alternative to a pellet or wood stove. Heat pumps are more energy efficient than furnaces and wood stoves because they use electricity to transfer the heat from the air or ground into your home.

They can also be used in conjunction with other heating systems to help reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency.

They can be positioned in tight spaces. For instance, the Harman XXV ($5,240) shown here which is a freestanding model can be placed between 1 and 3 inches away from the wall behind it, and 6 to 7 inches from the sidewalls.

This lower pollution is a contributing factor to improved air quality. Pellet stoves consume less energy than other heating methods, which reduces the carbon emissions that contribute to climate change and greenhouse gases. The combination of efficiency and environmental consciousness makes pellet stoves that are small an attractive heating option for homeowners.

Many models have an automated system that regulates the amount of fuel that is fed into the burner pot based upon a predetermined room temperature that you set with the thermostat controls. This lets the fire change from roaring to a low burn, or even completely go out, then relight, and maintain a consistent temperature without effort on your part. The stoves can also be connected to the home network to allow users to control the fire via a smartphone or online.
