Why Buy A Lopi Pellet Stove?
C o n v e n i e n c e
Lopi pellet stoves and inserts offer a clean and
environmentally sound way to heat your home.
There are no insects, dirt, pieces of bark
or slivers of wood brought into your home
with pellet fuel.
Pellets for
your Lopi pellet appliance also take
up less space
to store than cordwood or woodchips.
You can store four
times the amount of pellet fuel in the
same space that
wood takes up! A winter’s supply of
pellets for the
average home occupies about 6’ x 6’
x 6’ of space so you can store them in any dry area such as a
basement, utility room or shed.
Your Lopi pellet appliance only needs to be loaded once a day.
Nothing could be easier. It will automatically feed the correct
amount of pellets to keep your home warm all day and night.
Use the wall thermostat (standard on all large models) or the
optional remote control and extend the burn time even longer.
Set the thermostat to your desired room temperature and the
pellet appliance will cycle on and off to maintain the temperature
and extend the value of your fuel.
E f f i c i e n c y
Pellets are an all-natural, renewable fuel. They are held together
by lignin, which is a natural substance occurring in wood fibers
that acts as a glue when compressed. It’s so safe, it’s also used
as a binding agent in animal feed pellets.
Pellets fuel has been proven to be the cleanest burning type of
wood fuel you can use. The U.S. EPA woodburning limit of
particulates is 7.5 grams per hour - but Lopi pellet stoves only
exhaust on average 1.2 grams per hour! This is truly a fuel
source as good for the environment as it is for you.
