Wood pellet boilers are an environmentally friendly, safe and convenient way of heating the home, using wood pellets as fuel.
However, they differ from traditional solid fuel boilers. Apart from the green aspect, the units are fully automatic and behave more like an oil or gas boiler, using advanced controls which cleverly regulate the amount of fuel being delivered to the burner to match the heat demand on the boiler. The fuel is fed to the burner via an auger connected to the adjacent pellet store/hopper. This can, in turn, be automatically supplied from a bulk pellet store which can vary in size.
Combustion temperatures are monitored via thermostats which automatically adjust the speed at which the fuel is fed into the firebox. This heats water within the boiler which is then circulated around the heating system, maintaining the desired temperature.
Everything from ignition, to timers and temperature is controlled by an easy-to-use control panel integrated onto the boiler.
