This simple process allows you to swap out the oil burner in your heating system for a wood-pellet burner so that you can heat your entire home using wood pellets. Seem easy? It is \u2013 for our Pellergy-trained and certified technicians. If you\u2019ve been looking to convert to wood pellets for your central heating, call HB Energy Solutions today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Does a Conversion Work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are four main components to a wood pellet heating system: the burner, a hopper (where the pellets are stored) a conveyor, (which feeds the pellets into the burner), and a controller that works with your home\u2019s thermostat to tell the heating system when to turn on and off.<\/p>\n<p>The conversion happens with the burner: the burner is taken out of your boiler or furnace and replaced with a wood pellet burner. The hopper can be as large or small as you like, and may hold enough pellets for a week or a month. The converted system can also work with other existing pellet appliances, like pellet stoves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Are the Benefits of Converting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are some benefits of converting your central heating fuel source to wood pellets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Save in fuel costs \u2013 it\u2019s estimated that homeowners can save anywhere between 25-40% in annual fuel costs by converting to wood pellets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>No permanent modification \u2013 should you need or want to go back to your previous fuel type, you can.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Very environmentally-friendly \u2013 wood pellets are carbon neutral and release very little greenhouse gases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Available fuel supply \u2013 wood pellets are readily available at various retail outlets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Can be used with different distribution outlets \u2013 wood pellet heating systems can be used for radiators, baseboard radiators and radiant floor heating.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Can be used with different heating systems \u2013 wood pellets can be retro-fitted for both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbenergy.com\/heating\/furnaces\" target=\"_blank\">furnaces<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbenergy.com\/heating\/boilers\" target=\"_blank\">boilers<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wood pellet heating systems do need to have the ash vacuumed once a week to ensure proper operation and the hopper needs to be filled regularly.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you\u2019ve been thinking of moving forward with a wood pellet conversion in New Hampshire, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hbenergy.com\/about\/contact\" target=\"_blank\">call HB Energy Solutions<\/a> today and schedule an appointment with one of our experts today.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have been looking for a way to make your home heating more green and energy efficient, you may want to consider a wood pellet conversion in New Hampshire.
