This is not where the differences with traditional wood fired stoves end; these stoves are over 90% efficient and come with a remote control – installation is very simple through any existing chimney, or a small flue through an external wall.
The stoves range from 6 to 24 kilowatts and can be integrated with radiators, under floor heating, or air ducts, to provide heat for an entire house. With the standards of energy efficiency of new buildings increasing year by year, houses no longer need large boilers or an area set aside for oil tanks or fuel storage. Wood pellet stoves have become a popular alternative due to their quality and the wide availability of wood pellets.
The stoves are self fuelling via an integrated pellet storage hopper – which can last for up to 40 hours – costing around 25 pence per hour, over 30% cheaper than kerosene oil. Pellets normally come in easy to handle 10kg bags. The pellets are burned to a fine dust potash into a removable drawer, this potash can be spread onto a lawn or flowers to help growth.
Stoves can be integrated with existing thermostats, and an optional extra is the ability to text your stove to turn it on or off, as they are GSM ready, a good option for holiday home owners. A number of finishes are available, including metal, ceramic, and soapstone.
These stoves have also applications for businesses wishing to heat offices, hallways or a lobby economically – there is a grant of £850 available for businesses on a first come, first served basis.
Green Energy Technology have over 20 styles of these stoves available, and working models in their showroom.
