Wood Pellet boilers

You can e-mail me @ solveforu@adelphia.net. The fuel type is natural gas, and on Cape Cod those two bridges can raise the cost of the air we bearth. Last year for 208 CCF the customer paid $275.00, this year for 204 CCF their bill was $405.00.

    Pros & Cons of wood pellet boilers

    A customer of mine just recieved their gas bill for last month and they where shocked. This has been a warmer winter than in the passed and their bill was over $400.00(Cape Cod). They went on line and found many different alternatives but seem to be focused on wood pellet boilers. I have never installed one and can not find to much info on what to do or not. I do not know even if they will get what they are looking for. Please any info would be helpful

    I am in sunny Utah wright now at a hearth products show, Drop me an email with your adress and I can pick you up a brochure and mail it to you. Just have to do a fuel comparison to better understand what his saving will actually be.

    What kind of fuel does he have now, what is the efficeny of the unit he has now then we can figure what his cost per million btus,is

    then find out the cost of pellets in your area and also convert that into a cost per million and he will see unless he is using electric for heat he wont have tooo much of a savings. then add in the cost of the unit,plus allof the addtional maintnence,I dont feel theres that much of a savings, Now if it was a wood burner and he was getting free wood that would be a different story


    I have made mention of it we are also a hearth products dealer and have had a ton of folks come thru our door for pellet products to try and save some money I always recomend if your trying to save money on fuel cost to upgrade the heating equiptment and seal out the cold,

    We do sell alot of pellet stoves but I sell them for other reason, the savings is not that large
