(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 31, 2009 ) Columbus, OH -- pellet stoves might just be the answer to consumers' need for efficient home heating according to Fireplaces Now. Unlike wood burning stoves and fireplaces, pellet stoves are fueled by compressed recycled saw dust (meaning additional trees don't have to be cut down, and waste from other saw mill activities is put to good use). Using a pellet stove also means consumers can spend less time worrying about properly cutting and storing logs for the fire, and the smaller stoves make them a heating option even for homes with limited space.

"When consumers use pellet stoves to heat their homes, they really tackle efficiency from all angles," says Director of Sales, Harold Wagner. "Not only are they easier for some consumers to maintain than wood burning stoves and fireplaces, but they can also save the buyer money. The high efficiency stoves keep more heat in the home than other heating solutions, meaning less heat escapes (and the user can save money on oil heating costs). Many pellet stove models are also eligible for a 30% tax credit, up to $1500."

The pellets used in pellet stoves are recycled by-products (saw dust) from saw mills, and serve as an inexpensive fuel source. The smaller stoves and easily-stored pellets are complemented by the fact that pellet stoves can be placed closer to walls than wood burning stoves (saving even more space in the home), and have smaller diameter vents than many wood burning stoves or fireplaces.

Fireplaces Now offers several high efficiency pellet stoves, fireplaces, inserts, and wood burning stoves that are eligible for the U.S. tax credit, including the Osburn OP00048 Hybrid-45MF pellet stove. The Osburn Hybrid-45MF is EPA-approved and features a 63% efficiency rating and combustion times of up to 45 hours. This green home heating option uses recycled pellets, features less ash accumulation, and it burns cleaner and more efficiently than wood. Unlike wood burning stoves, this pellet stove can be placed as close as around two inches from a wall, with a vent pipe going out the back rather than the roof. The auto feeding and self-temperature regulation make this pellet stove easy to operate even as a first stove for consumers, who will enjoy little to no smoke entering the home itself while the pellets are burning. Very little heat is lost through this pellet stove, making the Osburn Hybrid-45MF an efficient home heating option.
