5 Uses For Wood Pellets

If you're keen on saving money on your heating bill, doing your bit for the planet, and want to reduce your carbon footprint then you might already be using wood pellets. If you're not already using them, then here are 5 uses for them.

1. Domestic heating systems
   Domestic wood pellet boilers are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, and are already common place throughout parts of Europe. By installing a pellet burning boiler you will have a much more efficient heating system, and be able to save money too. When the Renewable Heating Incentive (RHI)becomes available for domestic systems, you'll receive a payment for using renewable heating, and so your new pellet boiler will start to pay for itself. Remember that most wood boiler and stove manufacturers will recommend using premium wood pellets.


2. Commercial heating systems
   Commercial customers can already benefit from the RHI, and so changing to a more environmentally and cost effective form of heating is proving extremely attractive. With highly efficient and powerful boilers available, commercial customers are changing from heating systems that are expensive to run to more cost effective ones. No matter whether you run a small hotel, a hospital, gym and leisure centre, or schools, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels, and save money on your heating costs by using a pellet boiler.


3. Horse bedding
   Wood pellet horse bedding has many benefits over wood shavings, including cost. You'll find that it takes you less time to muck your horse out too. If you're looking for more absorbent horse bedding, and want to save money too, you'll want to try wood pellets. No matter whether you have your own horse or run a stable, you'll notice the difference, and are sure to be converted. Economy pellets are fine for horse bedding, and will be slightly cheaper than premium too.


4. Cat litter
   Again, thanks to the impressive absorbency, economy pellets make excellent cat litter. As well as working out cheaper than your current type of cat litter, you'll find that pellets are easier for you, and nicer for your cat too. It doesn't matter if you only have a single cat at home, or run a cattery, you'll be soon convinced.


5. Spillages
   Because wood pellets are highly absorbent, they are extremely useful for mopping up spillages. Used in the oil industry and in many other environments too, pellets can be found in a wide range of scenarios and situations where spillages are common, and difficult to clean up.

Now you know more about them, isn't it time you made the switch to wood pellets?
