Wood pellet Boilers

Pellet boiler test

Since it is the time of the year : The German consumer magazine " Stiftung Warentest " has tested pellet boilers.
Result : Expensive to buy and inefficient , none reached an efficiency of 90 % . The electricity consumption differs a lot from model to model .

Hi,
Can Anyone help me?
I'm trying to decide whether to put an oil or wood pellet burner in my house that i'm building which is 2,500 square foot. I would love to talk to someone who has had experience with both?

Which is cheaper to run.
