Advantages of a pellet heating system
The production of wood pellets requires far less energy compared to fossil fuels. Pellets are a standardized wood fuel made from pure, untreated wood and, thanks to pelletization, can be metered precisely – almost like liquid wood.
They are more affordable, and their price development is independent of political influences. The CO2 footprint of a pellet condensing boiler is among the smallest of all, and the small amount of ash left after combustion can be easily disposed of in a home compost bin.
Comfortable heating and easy operation
BRUNNER pellet boilers are characterized by high efficiency, exceptionally quiet operation, minimal power consumption, and extremely low standby losses. Operation is simple and intuitive via a graphical glass touch display that provides information and settings for the boiler and heating system. The BRUNNER pellet heating system also comes with built-in online functionality at no extra cost, allowing control via tablet or smartphone, and remote maintenance can be set up at any time.
Pellet heating system smartly combined with the BRUNNER heating center
Those who wish to make a more extensive investment in their heating technology and want a smart heating solution can freely combine the pellet heating system with the BRUNNER Heating Center (BHZ).
Possible combinations include domestic hot water preparation via a fresh water station, additional heating circuits, integration of a BRUNNER fireplace or tiled stove, and the use of excess solar power through the connection of a photovoltaic system – all the way to integrating a charging station for an electric vehicle.
Storage of pellets
Pellet heating systems are ideal for houses with medium to high energy demand. Storing the wood pellets is not a problem – if there was enough space for an oil tank before, there is enough space for pellet storage now. Simply remove the tank and install the pellet storage instead. An added benefit is that pellets smell much more pleasant than oil.
New funding guidelines
Replacing an old oil heating system with a new pellet heating system has never been more affordable than it is now, as efficient technologies that use renewable energy to heat buildings are supported by the government. The funding covers up to 45 percent of the system costs, with a maximum of 22,500 euros. This high level of support applies to the entire investment, including painting or plastering work, and even the VAT is subsidized. This makes switching especially attractive. The replacement of an oil heating system with a heat pump is also eligible for funding.
Conclusion
A pellet heating system is environmentally friendly, efficient, and features exceptionally high efficiency. It is also easy and convenient to operate. Storing the wood pellets is straightforward as well. The high government subsidy makes installing a pellet heating system even more attractive.
Expert advice
Replacing an existing oil heating system is especially worthwhile now, as part of the costs can be reimbursed through government subsidies. It’s a great step toward heating with renewable energy.
