Buying Wood Pellets In Bulk From The Wood Pellet Delivery Company
Most people who use wood pellet stoves to heat their homes invest in bulk orders of the fuel. Although pellets are very efficient and don’t burn as quickly as some other types of fuel, if your pellet burner is your main source of heating, you’ll still get through a fair few bags during the coldest months of the year.
Ordering wood pellets in bulk will ensure that you always have plenty of fuel on hand whenever you need it. In some cases, discounts are available for large orders, so when you buy wood pellets by the ton you could even help you to save even more money on your fuel bills.
How long will a ton of pellets last?
If you’re looking into the cost of wood pellets per ton, you’ll probably want to know how long your bulk order will last you. Although there are a lot of factors that will affect how much fuel you get through, on average it takes around 18kg of pellets to provide 24 hours of non-stop heat. As most people don’t heat their homes continuously, you’ll likely to get through far less of the fuel on a typical day.
The smaller and better insulated your home is, the less fuel you’ll need to heat it. However if your property is large or if it has old, draughty doors and windows, you may find you get through a lot of fuel in an effort to keep the space comfortable.
Anti-dust wood pellets
The cost of wood pellets by the ton will depend on the quality of the pellets you’re buying. In general, cheaper pellets are packed with dust to bulk them out. When the pellets are burned, this dust is released into your pellet stove, clogging up the system and potentially causing long term damage.
If you invest in high quality anti-dust pellets, the cost of buying a ton may be a little higher but the pellets themselves will be more efficient and better for your burner. This means that you’ll probably get through less fuel and that the fuel you do burn won’t cause damage to your stove.
Storing your wood pellets
If you decide to buy wood pellets by the ton, make sure you have somewhere suitable to store them. Pellets are best kept inside, away from damp and cold. A garage or a shed are ideal spaces to store your pellets although you could also store them in a covered outdoor area as long as no rain can get to the bags.
A fantastic way to heat your home, wood pellets are affordable, efficient and environmentally friendly.
