Pellet price per tonne and per pallet

Anyone stocking up for the season does not buy bags, they buy a pallet or a tonne. The figures below take today's average bag price and convert it to each pack size, delivery not included.

A pallet is not automatically cheaper per kilo. The measurements regularly show pallets with a per bag price higher than the single bag in the same shop. The gain from a pallet is usually in transport and in the single delivery, not in the unit price.

Where A1 pellets are cheapest

The lowest price of the day is not always the cheapest purchase. A bag at 7.50 € with 15 € delivery costs more than a bag at 9 € collected from the shop. The prices measured here are catalogue prices, before shipping.

Every price of the day, by shop and brand

The table shows who sells what and at what price, with the pellet brand and its certification. If you are looking for a specific brand, you will find it here as it stood on the day of the measurement.

Pellet price by area

The same quality does not carry the same price across the country. The map shows the average price per area from the shops that had a price open on the web on the day of the measurement.

What changes the price you actually pay

• Delivery sits on top of these prices. Every price in the table is a catalogue price, before shipping. On an order of one or two bags, delivery can cost more than the product.
• Certification tells you what you will burn. ENplus A1 and DINplus mean tested ash, moisture and calorific value. A plain claim of A1 on a product page carries no test behind it. The table separates the two.
• Ash turns into maintenance cost. Pellets with more ash fill the burner faster and ask for more frequent cleaning. A cheaper bag that sends you into the boiler room every week is not cheaper.
• Out of stock pages hold old prices. A page showing a low price and «out of stock» is not an offer, it is last year's label. That is why those pages stay out of the index and are listed separately.
• The season matters more than the shop. The price climbs when the cold arrives and demand peaks. The chart above shows the path since the first measurement.

What heating with pellets costs

A 15 kg bag delivers roughly … kilowatt hours of heat at the radiator, at a calorific value of 4.7 kWh per kilo and a boiler efficiency of 92%. Both figures come from the published Axinar cost guide. With today's measurement, the kilowatt hour works out at ….

The annual kilowatt hour figures come from the same guide and describe a home with average insulation. Your own consumption shifts with insulation, the climate zone and the temperature you hold. Comparing against heating oil needs the oil price of the day, because that moves independently of pellets.

What you need in order to burn these pellets

The prices above only matter if there is a machine to burn them. Two routes, depending on what already sits in the boiler room.

You already have an oil boiler

You do not have to throw it out. Take off the oil burner, bolt a pellet burner onto the same flange and keep the boiler, the flue and the pipework. It is the cheapest conversion to pellets and it takes one day.

• It cleans itself. Every burner has automatic head cleaning, the TSOVEA models have it twice over. That is what keeps combustion steady when the pellets are not the same with every delivery. How it works, in the automatic cleaning guide.
• It feeds from its own hopper. The Auger screw at 188.23 € carries pellets from the hopper to the burner, for installations up to 190 kW.
• Modulating operation. The burner trims the flame instead of switching on and off, which means fewer starts and a steadier temperature.

Which output you need in detail, in the burner output selection guide and in the conversion example for 120 sqm. Every model in the Pellet burners category.

You are starting from scratch

When there is no boiler, or the existing one has reached the end of its life, a pellet boiler is the clean answer. Axinar builds three lines: PELIT, which takes a separate burner, PelletWork with the burner built in, and CALOS, all in one with automatic cleaning.

• In a flat or a small house, one machine and nothing else. The CALOS CL8-32 at 4,016.10 € holds boiler, burner, hopper and automatic cleaning in one body, from 8 to 32 kW.
• Multiple flue passes keep the heat inside. The PELIT boilers run the flue gas through three passes before it reaches the chimney, which is where the 90 to 93% efficiency comes from.

Which size fits your space, in the articles on a pellet boiler for 100 sqm and for 200 sqm. If you are unsure between the two, burner versus boiler puts them side by side. The full range in the Pellet boilers category.
