Many homeowners are looking for ways to make their homes more eco-friendly, renewable, green, sustainable - the list goes on. Homeowners are also looking for ways to lower home heating bills. Do both at the same time.

Pellet heat: the clever alternative

Pellets are small and generally made from recycled wood or agricultural products, like wheat or corn. They burn in pellet and multi fuel stoves, inserts and furnaces to help heat your home.

Positive Environmental Impact

Pellet stoves are an extremely clean-burning heating option. They are also a “carbon neutral” fuel, meaning the amount of carbon emitted from burning pellets is equal to, or less than, the amount of carbon plants need to make the fuel. In fact, research showed heating with wood pellets emits about 90% less carbon than oil, and 84% less carbon than natural gas.

Making the switch

If you’re tired of relying on foreign oil and want to help the environment, you’re not alone. Approximately 1 million homes in the U.S. currently use pellet stoves for heating. That number is expected to rise as international oil prices remain volatile, and the ill effects of environmental pollution and outsourcing remain.

Pellet appliances – pellet burning stoves and multi fuel furnaces allow homeowners to tap into this efficient, eco-friendly trend.

Extended burn times and high efficiency ratings make pellets a viable option for heating your home.

Do something to help the environment that actually makes sense and saves you money. Pellets are a practical option to help heat your home. For more information, contact St. Croix Stoves.
