Getting the Best Biomass Wood Pellets Prices
When it comes to wood pellets for your biomass heating system, price isn’t everything. That said, you’ve invested in the system to give you cost-effective heating as well as being more environmentally friendly. When it comes to price, what should you be looking for?
Supply and demand
Like other products, wood pellet prices are affected by issues relating to supply and demand. A few years ago, there was a spike in demand fuelled by a very cold winter. At the same time, there was a Europe-wide shortage of wood pellets. This caused a spike in biomass wood pellet suppliers prices with an increase of 20% noticed by many customers.
No matter how you heat your home, you’ll want a quality product and a heating system that is affordable to run. Even with fluctuations in price, biomass heating is still one of the most cost-effective items we can invest in.
It’s not just about the price, but quality of the wood pellets
It’s important that you have access not only to the best biomass wood pellet prices but the best quality product too. Erring on the cheap side can mean you end up wasting money on wood pellets that are of poor quality. Cheap wood pellets will often contain impurities such as dust and creosote, leading to a faster burning time and lower than expected heat output..
Look for high-quality pellets. They should be light in colour and difficult to break – a sign that they’re tightly compressed. They should also smell of wood rather than glue, something that is common to cheap biomass wood pellets.
