The best pellet boiler for Thessaloniki is one that is locally manufactured, has direct on-site service, and matches your home’s square footage.

AXINAR manufactures the PELIT series at the Oraiokastro Industrial Area factory, in 7 models from 20 kW to 150 kW. Thessaloniki’s climate (average winter temperature 5-8°C, with days below 0°C) requires proper boiler sizing.

We typically calculate 0.10 kW per m² for homes with moderate insulation. A 150 m² home needs 15 kW, so the PELIT PL20 (20 kW) comfortably covers with margin for the coldest days.

How many kW for your square meters?

For Thessaloniki’s climate (Zone C, winter with days below 0°C), the basic sizing rule is:

0.10 kW per m² for homes with moderate insulation, 0.08 kW/m² for good insulation (thermal facade + double glazing), 0.12 kW/m² for old buildings without insulation.

Add 15-20% margin for the coldest days below zero and for combined use with domestic hot water (DHW). Other factors that affect sizing: ceiling height (above 3m requires additional capacity), orientation (north-facing +10%), glazing (single glazing +15%).

The table on the right shows recommendations for each square meter range, based on moderate insulation. For detailed calculation see the boiler power per square meter guide.

Square meters Power Model
50-80 m² 6-10 kW PL20
80-120 m² 10-14 kW PL20
120-180 m² 14-20 kW PL20
180-250 m² 20-28 kW PL30
250-350 m² 28-40 kW PL45
350-500 m² 40-55 kW PL45 / PL75
500-750 m² 55-80 kW PL75
750-1000 m² 80-110 kW PL95 / PL120

Glossary

Pellet (ENplus A1)
Compressed cylindrical wood pellets 6-8mm diameter. ENplus A1 certification means ash <0.7%, moisture <10%, calorific value 4.6 kWh/kg. Produced in Greece and imported from Europe.
EN 303-5 Class 5
European standard for biomass boilers. Class 5 requires efficiency >89% and low CO/CO₂/dust emissions. Mandatory certification for eligibility in Greek subsidies.
Climate Zone C
Greek climate zone for energy design. Includes Thessaloniki, Central Macedonia, Epirus. Design temperature -3°C. In Exoikonomo 2026 gives higher subsidy for biomass boilers.
Sizing (kW/m²)
Calculation of required boiler power. In Thessaloniki: 0.08-0.12 kW per m² depending on insulation. Always add 15-20% margin for days below 0°C and DHW.
Flue system
Combustion gas exhaust pipeline. For pellet boilers a certified technician (chimney sweep) inspection is required before installation, especially if replacing an oil boiler.
Multi-pass flue system
PELIT technology where combustion gases pass multiple times through the heat exchanger before exiting through the flue. Increases efficiency above 92%.
AXISTAT

Examples: 50-80 m² needs 6-10 kW (PELIT PL20), 80-120 m² needs 10-14 kW (PL20), 120-180 m² needs 14-20 kW (PL20), 180-250 m² needs 20-28 kW (PL30), 250-350 m² needs 28-40 kW (PL45), 350-500 m² needs 40-55 kW (PL45 or PL75), 500-750 m² needs 55-80 kW (PL75), 750-1000 m² needs 80-110 kW (PL95 or PL120), 1000-1500 m² needs 110-165 kW (PL120 or PL150). Add 15-20% margin for days below 0°C.
Which boiler fits a 100 m² apartment in Thessaloniki?
For a 100 m² apartment with moderate insulation, you typically need 10-15 kW. The PELIT PL20 (20 kW) is our smallest model and comfortably suffices, leaving margin for cold days below 0°C. For more precise sizing, see the boiler power guide.
Do I need a permit for pellet boiler installation in Thessaloniki?
No. The pellet boiler is treated as burner replacement (oil or gas). No new permit from Town Planning is required. You just need an installation declaration from a certified installer and flue inspection.
How much pellet does a PELIT consume in Thessaloniki?
For a typical 150 m² single-family home in Thessaloniki, annual consumption is approximately 3-4 tons of pellet (cost ~€1,100-1,500/year). Comparatively, oil would cost €2,500-3,200/year. Boiler investment payback in 3-4 years.
Where can I find pellet in Thessaloniki?
There’s an excellent pellet market in Thessaloniki: sold at fuel wood shops, agricultural stores and online. Price Jan. 2026: €350-420/ton ENplus A1. Choose certified ENplus A1 pellet (low ash <0.7%, low moisture <10%) for maximum burner lifespan.
Can I connect PELIT to existing radiators?
Yes. The PELIT connects exactly like an oil boiler (2 pipes, return and flow). No need to replace radiators or piping. A certified installer will do the connection in 1-2 days.
What is the AXINAR boiler warranty?
The AXINAR warranty is 5 years on the boiler body and 2 years on the burner. Covers manufacturing defects. Spare parts (gaskets, resistors, sensors) available directly from the factory.
