Wood Chip or Pellet Stoves

Everyone loves a wood fire; it really turns a house into a home. But open fires and old-fashioned stoves can be polluting, inefficient (typically only 20-30% efficient) and inconvenient. Modern wood pellet stoves offer the warmth and comfort of wood heating while being highly efficient, clean burning and totally automatic, saving you time and money.

Wood burning systems do emit carbon dioxide. However, as the wood fuel is cultivated, it absorbs the exact same amount of carbon dioxide as is released when burnt. As such it does not add to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. An eligible system can be used for heating a single room, hot water or a whole house.

It is important that there is adequate ventilation and that a clean air source is supplied to the stove, as the combustion process uses oxygen (in the same way as any fuel fired appliance). Given that some stoves come equipped with an integral boiler for hot water and heat delivery, it is important that these systems are correctly integrated with the existing hot water system (e.g. cylinder). (See Part J of the Building Regulations for minimum ventilation requirements – go to www.environ.ie).
