In a world increasingly focused on energy efficiency and environmental sustainability, ECOFAB's pellet stoves have emerged as an ideal solution for heating homes in an economical and environmentally friendly way.
With models of 5.1 kW and 9.3 kW, ECOFAB offers alternatives that adapt to different needs and spaces, guaranteeing thermal comfort with a reduced environmental impact.
Factors Influencing Daily Pellet Consumption
Several factors have an impact on the pellet consumption of ECOFAB stoves. The thermal insulation of the house, the size of the heated space and the outside temperature are determining factors. Well-insulated houses and moderate temperatures reduce the need for continuous consumption, while larger spaces and low temperatures require more energy.
ECOFAB models are designed to adapt effectively to these variables, ensuring optimised energy consumption.
- Size of the space to be heated:
The size of the area to be heated is crucial. Larger spaces require more energy to keep warm, increasing pellet consumption. Smaller houses or insulated rooms require less fuel to reach the desired temperature.
- Thermal insulation of the house:
Good insulation retains heat effectively, which actively contributes to reducing pellet consumption. Poorly insulated houses, or those with thermal losses in rooms with less efficient windows such as those with single-glazed systems, need more energy to compensate for heat losses.
- Outside temperature:
The lower the outside temperature, the greater the system's effort to keep the interior warm, which translates into increased pellet consumption. This effort can be more significant on harsher winter days, and less intense on mild spring or autumn days.
- User-defined temperature:
The higher temperature setting requires more pellets to keep the room heated evenly, so opting for a constant temperature of 20ºC will have lower consumption than keeping the same room at a temperature of 23ºC.
- Equipment efficiency:
The most efficient stoves use fewer pellets to produce the same amount of heat. ECOFAB produces pellet stoves that make the most of pellet energy to heat your home with less fuel. Use is optimised by the app on your mobile phone which, via Wi-Fi, allows you to set the right temperature. The equipment produced with ECODESIGN certification, energy class A+ and ISO 9001 certification is the guarantee of quality equipment for heating your home.
How many bags of pellets do I need every day?
ECOFAB models stand out for their energy efficiency and ease of use, as they allow you to place a 15kg bag of pellets in the stove and thus guarantee up to 1 day of uninterrupted heating, without the need to add more pellets. The actual consumption can be altered by the factors listed above, which can vary the average consumption up to 1 or 2 bags of 15kg per day. This consumption can also increase if the heating is on for 12 or 14 hours a day, in a poorly insulated house or with doors opening to the outside.
ECOFAB pellet stoves, equipped with intuitive controls and Wi-Fi connection capability, allow for precise temperature adjustment, which can even be changed remotely. The robust cast iron construction guarantees durability and superior thermal performance, to make your heating more efficient and longer-lasting.
Tips for Maximising Efficiency and Reducing Consumption
To ensure that your ECOFAB pellet stove operates at peak capacity, regular maintenance and the use of high-quality pellets are recommended. This includes periodic cleaning and adjusting the combustion settings as necessary. Such care not only prolongs the life of the appliance but also maximises its efficiency. So bear in mind that:
- Regular equipment maintenance:
- Proper maintenance, including cleaning the combustion chamber and chimney, ensures that the stove works efficiently.
- Choose high quality pellets:
- Using certified pellets improves combustion efficiency and reduces the consumption needed to heat the space.
- Opt for high-quality equipment such as ECOFAB stoves:
- High-quality equipment not only guarantees more efficient combustion, it also lasts longer and requires less frequent maintenance.
Although the number of bags of pellets needed to heat your home depends on various factors, by choosing an ECOFAB stove, you're opting for models that help you take greater control of your consumption, with a solution that combines energy efficiency, comfort and design.
