Why larger volume orders and boiler servicing will save money in the long run 

If you have invested in a pellet boiler and heating system for your home, then the last thing you need to hear is that you should spend more money.

But the reality is that you need to spend money to save money. That might sound like a contradiction in terms, but it makes perfect sense.

And here’s why.

Less Deliveries, Less Delivery Costs

A pellet burner obviously runs on pellets, and these have to be delivered. Each delivery might come with a cost, which means that the more often you have a delivery, the more it will set you back.

So, it pays to buy in bulk for the sake of saving on delivery costs. 

Of course, not all deliveries cost money, but buying in large quantities may also come at a discount from some wood pellet suppliers. Often the larger the volume of pellets you buy, the more you can save on the overall cost.

And the more pellets you have, the less likely it is that you will run out and have resort to other means to heat your home.

Run out and you might have to make a quick trip to a hardware store or heating supplier to buy more just to tide you over. The cost of fuel, the higher costs of a small purchase and the time taken to complete this transaction all add up. So, bulk buy wood pellets to save.

Boiler Maintenance - Do I Need It?

If your boiler is relatively new, the idea of shelling out money to have it cleaned or maintained might seem like an unnecessary expense. But there are several very good reasons why you should do it on an annual basis – no matter how old the boiler is. 

First, having your boiler regularly serviced means you keep it in warranty. That means that if something bad does happen or it breaks down, you have stuck to the terms of your agreement and are eligible for repair or replacement.

Second, regular check-ups will mean that your boiler is burning more efficiently, which will reduce your fuel consumption and save you money over time.

And last, regular servicing and cleaning of your boiler also means that it will last longer. Pellet dust can cause problems with boilers, and over time this will significantly reduce its life span. Keep on top of the maintenance and your boiler will last for years longer.

The average lifespan of a cleaned and maintained boiler is around 20 years. For a boiler left without a regular check-up you could be looking at 15. That’s 33% more value for a regular, cost-effective and straightforward check-up.

That’s why spending money makes such good financial sense.

Even if you’re using the special low-dust pellets available from the Wood Delivery Company which help to keep boilers clean and free from dust, we still recommend a regular boiler check-up to make sure everything is in good working order.

Spend a little now, save a lot in the future. It makes perfect sense.
