How to convert a Tarm boiler to auto-feed wood pellets

admin — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 17:25:45 +0000

Cordwood is still the most cost-effective way of heating your home. Tarm (and other Brands of) cordwood boilers are great appliances because they can be set up to heat both your home and your hot water. In many cases these cordwood boilers have been set up as backup systems to the home’s primary oil heating system. Due to the recent spike in oil prices, a lot of people are taking a second look at their backup system. Of course the biggest drawback to a cordwood boiler is the need to tend the fire several times a day. If you are “over” the need to constantly feed wood into your cordwood boiler, or if your system was originally set up for backup, you’ve got options.

Fortunately, Tarm and most other cordwood boilers are excellent candidates for conversion to auto feed, thermostat-controlled, wood pellet fuel. “It’s a pretty simple conversion” says in Andy Boutin, general manager at Pellergy wood pellet central heating systems. “We simply customize the door of the boiler to accept a Pellergy wood pellet burner.” The burner is connected to a controller and an auger conveyor system which draws pellet from one of Pellergy’s many storage solutions.

Affordability

The cost to convert a Tarm or similar cordwood boiler to auto feed wood pellets is about $4,500 plus installation costs. Pellergy systems are only sold through our network of certified installers. You can find less expensive, do-it-yourself, imported pellet burners on the market, but systems fire all the way up to 200,000 BTU and come complete with all controllers, conveyances, automatic burn chamber cleanout, and a seven-day bin which is easily upgradable a Pellergy’s three, four, or five ton fabric bin for bulk pellet delivery. Because Pellergy systems are made right in Montpelier Vermont parts are always available on short notice.

Efficiency

The other thing about Tarm boilers in particular is that they lend themselves particularly well too firing on wood pellets because of their high-efficiency. Tarm makes some of the most efficient cordwood boilers on the market because of their advanced heat exchanger design.

If you were considering converting your Tarm or other cordwood boiler to An auto-feed wood pellet system, your first step should be to contact a Pellergy certified installer. He can give you all the details about cost and conversion options.

A few issues popped up in the first month or two after the system was installed – largely due to operator error – and the installer was extremely quick to respond. With the Pellergy system I am sure that the local installer knows both the boiler and the burner like the back of his hand.

Since we added a bulk hopper and got away from bagged pellets I spend about 20 minutes once a month vacuuming out the boiler and checking everything over, and that’s it. The little woodstove on our main level that we use mostly for evening and weekend fires takes much more time to clean than the Pellergy burner that’s keeping the house (and the water) hot 24×7.

We use Pellergy year round for our heating needs. Having heated with wood as the primary fuel in the past I understand the excessive amount of time it takes to maintain, fuel, and clean a wood system. Pellergy is a very efficient heating system which requires very little time to maintain. Both my wife and I were surprised at how little time we had to spend on maintenance in order to keep the system running. An added bonus is that recently more and more companies are selling different brands of pellets which in turn is keeping the price low.

In a very short time we realized how much we were saving in fuel costs. We have saved over $1,200.00 each year and the Pellergy system should pay for itself sometime this winter. In researching other heating systems we figured out it would take approximately seven to ten years in order to break even with our investment.

The company I work for has transferred me to Virginia and we now have our house on the market. To my pleasant surprise, we have found that the Pellergy system to be a positive selling point for most of the people looking at our home. It has not been any issue for the home inspections and in fact, has been an interesting talking point. I am looking to buy a new Pellergy system for our new home. It has proven to me that it is a reliable, cost effective heating source that is green and uses a local renewable fuel source. I don’t ever want to go back to oil!

We bought one of the first sPellergy ystems available. I did have a few reservations about buying a new technology for something as important as my home’s primary heating source but was convinced that between Pellergy’s support, and the ease to convert back to oil should something happen, that the risk was low.
