Why Are Harman Pellet Stoves Among The Best Pellet Furnaces? Installing a pellet stove for example one of the many Harman pellet stoves available, is not only a step towards a greener way of living but is also a way to save energy costs. There are tax credits available in the US for helping towards the costs of installing a pellet stove that is greater than 75% efficient . You can obtain a tax credit for 30% of the cost of installation up to the value of $1,500. People living in the UK can also obtain grants to help towards the costs of pellet stove installation and for using carbon neutral fuels such as wood and biomass fuel pellets, however you will need to check with your local council for exact amounts. You will also be saving money by using wood and biomass fuel pellets compared to using more traditional fuels such as gas and oil as in the very near future the prices for both are set to rise substantially. Therefore there are many financial and environmental incentives for installing a biomass pellet stove. |

Harman Pellet Stoves Compared To Traditional Wood Burning Stoves Harman pellet stoves are a far more efficient and cleaner way to heat your home. The problems with traditional wood burning stoves are that they produce more emissions and ash compared to pellet stoves. As pellet stoves only burn pellets there is no waste to clean up like bark or wood chip mess, the operation is clean and almost smoke free. As there are more emissions produced by wood burning stoves, you will normally have to have a full insulated chimney system installed which must extend above the roof peak. The majority of pellet stoves only need a direct vent or small chimney system which is far cheaper and much easier to install. Pellet stoves can also be controlled by a thermostat system as pellets are stored in a hopper connected to the pellet stove. All you need to do it set you desired temperature, then the auger feed pellet system will feed pellets into the burn pot at whatever speed is needed to obtain your set temperature. Wood burning stoves must be maintained to keep a constant heat. |

Making Sure You Are Choosing The Best Pellet Stove For Your Needs Before you go out and purchase a pellet stove you will need to make sure that all your needs are met, as not all pellet stoves are the same and can vary greatly in quality and what features they have. Firstly you will need to decide what pellet fuel you are going to use; premium wood pellets or a mixture of biomass fuel pellets, as not all pellet burners can burn all types of fuel. For example if you try and burn grass pellets in a pellet stove that is only designed to burn premium wood pellets then you will have problems with excess ash build up and clinker formations which in extreme cases can cause catastrophic failures with the working of the pellet stove. You will also need to decide what heat output you require. Pellet stove heat output can range from anything from 10,000 up to 70,000 BTU (British Thermal Units). You need to make sure that whatever space you are trying to heat, that the maximum heat output of a particular pellet stove is sufficient to heat that space. To help you to answer these questions and many more we have developed the Pellet Stove and Boiler Guide. |
