Let´s face it, wood burners are lovely to look at but they are filthy, logs are expensive and 
inconvenient, the smoke contaminates the atmosphere and they need lighting, cleaning and the chimneys sweeping regularly.
Taken on a whole they are hard work, albeit cleaning them or cleaning up after them, or collecting logs and finding somewhere to store them!
So it is hardly surprising that more people are considering installing a cleaner, more economical and more effective pellet system for next winter.
A pellet system, as a replacement for your current wood burner or as a boiler for central heating and/hot water, works with combustion air control and can use pellets (made from biomass), almond shells or olive pits.
The stoves are made of cast iron to increase the amount of heat they produce; they have a vacuum cleaning system which reduces CO2 emissions; a built in ambience sensor; remote controls which shut down or ignite; they are programmable; silent; and have a multitude of safety features.
The Gardenia Garden Centre, now Ecoforest, specialises in the sale and installation of these systems. They offer a free quote for installation and their website, ecoforest.es/english/index.php offers a free application to allow both professional and members of the public to calculate the cost savings of installing the various new energy services (in English).
There is also a full illustrated list of products and all the features plus a breakdown of how these systems contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gases.
Most people install one of the pellet stoves to heat the whole house. They produce much more heat than a wood burner and because it is a hot air system the heat moves around the house. The heat is also instant, reaching its maxium in a matter of minutes.
Once installed they are a quick, rapid and cheap solution to heat your home and water. Moreover, you won´t have the floors and tops constantly covered in ash dust, which makes them more convenient and healthier.
Go the website for more information or pop into Gardenia and ask for a free quotation on installation costs and energy savings.
