Stylish, Efficient, Money Saving Pellet Stove Inserts

Simon Harris

When my husband and I got tired of paying high heating bills we decided to install a pellet stove insert. We figured that we could "kill two birds with one stone" installing a fireplace insert. The first is that we could save money burning efficient wood pellets as a primary source of heat and using our expensive oil heat as a secondary source. Second is that we could close up the drafty and often unused fireplace and get rid of the messy firewood.

We were amazed at the wide array of beautiful wood pellet stove inserts we saw on the market. It was definitely going to be an asset for our home. We did like the idea that we could have andirons and logsets to make the fire look like a log fire. We learned however that we shouldn't decide on a pellet stove insert by looks alone.

Pellet stove inserts come in many different sizes. The correct size pellet stove insert for our home was going to depend on the square footage we wanted to heat. There were many different manufacturers of pellet stove inserts to choose from. We decided after doing a lot of research online that the best choice was going to be a stove we could buy and have installed locally.

We found out that the square footage we want to heat, the construction of our home and the quality and quantity of insulation in our home was going to play a big role in our choice. We also learned that the placement of the pellet stove insert played a big role in how efficiently it would heat.

We saw many different models, the Harman Accentra Pellet Fireplace Insert, and several different QuadraFire inserts such as the Mt. Vernon AE Insert, the Classic Bay 1200 Insert and the Castile Insert.

We found that all of these pellet stove inserts share some very common features. Pellet stoves are basically carefree. Once they have the hopper filled with wood pellets and the programmable automatic thermostat set they take care of themselves. We found that most all had quiet blowers, automatic lighting and programmable thermostat controls as well as remote controls. We paid specific attention to the BTU output of each pellet stove and their overall efficiency ratings. BTU's range from 14,000 to 60,000. Overall efficiency ratings were not easily available for every pellet stove insert but we saw them between 80% and 84%.

Well, we've just finished our first winter season with our new QuadraFire pellet stove insert and we couldn't be happier with our choice.
