What are wood pellets?
Simply put, wood pellets are made by combining leftover chips and sawdust from various types of hard wood lumber. The leftover bits of lumber are first transferred to chippers and hammer mills where they are refined to a consistent size. From there, they are dried and pressed through dies at high pressure to form pellets. These pellets are great alternatives to traditional heat sources in that they're all natural and affordable.
How Wood Pellets Impact the Environment
If you're concerned with the number of trees being cut down in our country each year, Appalachian Wood Pellets are a great product for you. Our raw materials come directly as bi-products of our partner's hard wood lumber. We utilize what used to be a waste product and use 100 percent of what comes from the forest.
Wood pellets are excellent alternative sources of heat for multiple reasons:
Cost - When you replace your oil heat with wood pellets, you could save up to $680 per year
Environment - You'll produce less CO2 than standard heating practices. What's more is that our wood pellets are manufactured from sustainably harvested wood.
Local - All our wood pellets are harvested from the United States--easing America's reliance on foreign fuels and increasing jobs in the U.S.
If you burn 1 ton of wood pellets, you will replace approximately 120 gallons of heating oil, 170 gallons of propane or 4,775 kWh of electricity. That adds up to a lot of savings!
What's more, burning wood pellets is cleaner than organic decomposition in the forest because wood pellets are considered carbon neutral.
The benefits are extensive--from cost to environment, wood pellets are quickly becoming consumer's choice for heating.
