How long does a 15kg bag of pellets last?

The lifespan of a 15 kg bag of wood pellets depends on several factors, including the energy consumption of your heating device, the insulation of your home, the outside temperature and how often you use the heating. In general, you can rely on the following guidelines:

1. Heating power:

   • The power of your pellet stove or boiler plays a crucial role. Pellet stoves typically have a power between 6 and 12 kW. The higher the power, the more pellets are consumed.

2. Insulation and Heat Preservation:

   • Good insulation in your home ensures that heat is retained better. A well-insulated house generally requires less energy to stay warm.

3. Outside temperature:

   • Cold outdoor temperatures will result in higher energy consumption because the heating system has to work harder to maintain the desired indoor temperature.

4. Usage pattern:

   • How often and for how long you use the heating obviously influences the consumption of wood pellets. Regular maintenance of the pellet stove and efficient combustion contribute to lower consumption.

5. Pellet quality:

   • The quality of the wood pellets can vary. High-quality pellets generally have a higher energy content and produce less ash, resulting in more efficient combustion.

In general terms, you can expect a 15kg bag of wood pellets to provide approximately 24 to 48 hours of heating time, depending on the factors previously mentioned. However, it is important to look specifically at the information provided by the manufacturer of your pellet stove, as this information may vary based on the specific model and design.
