With the increase in energy prices and the need to face harsh winters, saving on fuel has become essential.
Pellets, known for their cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness, can be used more efficiently with strategies that many ignore.
If you want to significantly reduce your consumption of pellet without sacrificing comfort, continue reading to discover surprising and practical methods.
Good regulation is the key
One of the lesser known secrets is the correct regulation of one’s own pellet stove. Often left with standard parameters, many appliances end up consuming up to 20% more.

- Control the heating power: we avoid waste by maintaining a constant temperature without peaks.
- Also the intensity of ventilation affects: regulating the air flow improves the distribution of the heat and reduces consumption.
Choose quality pellets
Not all pellets are the same. There quality directly affects combustion and consumption.
Opt for pellets certificates like ENplus or DINplus guarantees high density and low humidity, factors that reduce the consumption of 10-15% during the season.
Invest in excellent insulation
A well-insulated environment allows you to maintain heat and minimize losses. Start with the caulking windows and doors to avoid drafts.
Make sure walls and roofs are adequately insulated: up to 30% some heat can escape if the roof is not well insulated.
Adopt smart heating habits
