Whats the difference between a pellet boiler and a pellet stove?
A pellet stove is a space heating appliance like a wood stove, and provides space heating for a localized area. Temperature output is controlled by manually regulating the amount of air allowed into the combustion chamber. Of course, the stove must be placed in the living space you wish to heat, and it must be stoked and cleaned like a wood stove. A pellet boiler either supplements or entirely replaces your current central boiler or furnace. Its output is controlled by your existing thermostats, and it heats your entire house. Most people configure their pellet boilers to also provide domestic hot water; the boiler is a year round unit, and self ignites, only when heat or hot water is needed.
