The pellet stove is an ideal solution! Although it requires significant financing at the outset, this heating method is particularly profitable in the long term.

Once burned, they produce few greenhouse gas emissions. But before investing, know that there are several kinds of pellet stoves. Here is our selection designed for your home.

The Optimo waterproof square pellet stove USTICA, to heat the whole house

Pellet stoves heat the room where they are installed particularly well... But they tend to be less effective for the rest of the house. They are often recommended as complementary heating. But the Optimo stove offers an excellent solution for heating the whole house. Thanks to its tank that can hold 25 kg of pellets, its power of 14W and its autonomy of 34.7 hours, it will quickly increase the temperature of your entire interior. The maximum heating volume is also recommended at 350m3. In addition, the Optimo is a sealed stove, that is, a stove that has a closed combustion system since it will take air outside the house. They are often more efficient, safer, quiet and simple to assemble. And the Optimo meets all these criteria! Another advantage: for people who do not have air outlets, you can install this suction cup stove. Finally, you can schedule operating time slots of the Optimo over an entire week.

What is the Green Flame 7 label?

Existing since 2000 and created by the Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME), the Green Flame label recognizes heating products that meet "a demanding quality charter in terms of energy efficiency and polluting emissions", according to its official website. If at the beginning there were only 5 stars, there are 7 today and only products that can bear this magic number are labeled. In this way, the Renewable Energy Union in charge of the certificate seeks to impose ever higher quality on manufacturers and distributors via these three judging criteria: carbon monoxide and fine particle emission rates and energy efficiency.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the pellet stove?

Just like the wood stove, the pellet stove is a closed fireplace that works on combustion. But if the first is less expensive, it is also less efficient and obviously practical. Indeed, pellet appliances have a ventilation system to heat much larger surfaces, while requiring less pellet storage space than for wood logs. In addition, pellets are made from wood waste in a natural way and release few fine particles and carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. They are therefore an ecological fuel that fits perfectly into the environmental transition needed today. In addition, if they require a source of electricity unlike log stoves, this allows them to be programmed in advance and therefore gives almost complete autonomy to the device. Enough to save all the more!

Finally, although their purchase cost is significant and their installation may require significant work depending on the model, they are also more profitable in the long term and are eligible for the "Coup de pouce Chauffage " financial aid set up by the Ministry of Ecological and Solidarity Transition since 2019.
