The current prices of wood pellets
Stability
Despite the initial investment required, a pellet heating system saves considerable costs after just a few years and is significantly cheaper than alternative fuels in the long term. The secret lies in a highly efficient heating system with an efficiency of over 90% and which converts the fuel into heat very efficiently.
​
The price is subject to only minor natural fluctuations and is significantly more stable than oil and natural gas prices. Wood pellet prices have remained stable over the years.
Price comparison
If you compare the costs of heating with pellets with other energy sources that are commonly used in cities and villages, you will see a clear price advantage.
