To get the most efficient heat from our carbon-neutral, locally produced wood pellets, follow this essential wood pellet heating summer checklist.
Take advantage of the non-peak season to clean your fuel store and prepare your wood pellet appliance for winter. A well-maintained system ensures optimal performance and efficiency when temperatures drop.
We recommend cleaning your fuel store at least every two years or after every five fills—whichever comes first.
Although we screen all our wood pellets before delivery, small amounts of dust can accumulate over time. A clean store ensures maximum efficiency and reliability.
Follow manufacturer instructions and safety guidelines for cleaning. Check out the wood pellet industry recommendations here.
Ensure your wood pellet appliance runs efficiently by booking an annual service with a certified technician. This helps maintain safety, performance, and longevity.
Set your thermostat correctly for summer to reduce unnecessary heating, save energy, and stay comfortable. Adjusting settings prevents energy waste and prepares your system for colder months.
Check fuel store levels earlier than usual and order wood pellets if needed.
Uncertainty surrounds the upcoming heating season, and demand for wood pellets could remain high. Avoid delays and secure your supply early to prevent shortages.
Place your order online 24/7 for bulk delivery or 10kg bags through our Online Shop.
Get winter-ready now with our wood pellet summer checklist and ensure efficient, uninterrupted heating!
Stay safe and warm!
Sustainably managed forests help reduce the quantity of greenhouse gases in the air. Carbon dioxide is the core greenhouse gas accountable for climate change emissions which are increasing each year.
Sustainably managed trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air for growth and then renovate it into wood that releases oxygen back into the atmosphere.
In Ireland and the UK, undeveloped forests tend to grow quickly, absorbing lots of carbon dioxide. Harvesting trees before they dissolve naturally will return their carbon to the atmosphere, allowing the carbon to absorb into the wood. Replanting the trees then begins the cycle of carbon storage. This is why for every tree we harvest, four more will be planted.
Balcas energy is dedicated to increasing the quantity of carbon dioxide stored in our forests by handling existing forests sustainably and encouraging the use of our wood pellets as an alternative to burning fossil fuels.
Wood pellets are a low carbon source, renewable, and release a lot less carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than fossil fuels such as wet wood and household coals.
Carbon dioxide gas sources climate change – Growing trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Converting the tree into wood products such as wood pellets releases oxygen into the air.
Managed forests help control climate change – Here at Balcas Energy, we ensure four trees are planted for every one we harvest, which helps remove carbon dioxide.
Our wood pellets store carbon – Choosing wood pellets instead of non-renewable energy products and fossil fuels helps reduce the effects of climate change.
