Summertime is the ideal time to lock-in your fuel cost for the year by taking advantage of current supplies. Order at least 50 percent of your annual fuel needs for your pellet appliances during the summer months, suggests industry insiders. Using pellet fuel, you can save money on your heating bills while burning a renewable fuel that is good for the environment.
"We can't stress enough the importance of buying pellet fuel before the season hits," said Don Kaiser, Pellet Fuel Institute executive director. "The fuel is readily available, and consumers may find dealers offering pre-season promotions with early-purchase incentives."
Pellet stoves, boilers and furnaces are efficient home heaters thanks to state-of-the-art technology that helps control the fuel- to-air ratio within the heating appliance and ensures almost complete combustion of the fuel. This technology generates minimal wood smoke, making pellet appliances the lowest emission solid-fuel burning heating product available today, and a popular choice in areas where air quality is an issue.
Pellet fuel is the perfect choice for people that often experience high home heating bills due to fluctuating energy costs. More than 3-times efficient than cordwood, pellet fuel is made from sustainable sources and its low moisture content allows for maximum burn and minimum particulate exhaust. On average, western homes use two tons of pellets fuel per season and in the colder east, it jumps to three tons.
So, don't wait. Be wise and buy now while the inventory is high.
