What is Automated Wood Heat?
Automated wood heat, or modern wood heat, is similar to a fossil fuel boiler or furnace, except it heats with sustainably sourced wood pellets instead. Visit Feel Good Heat to learn more about how sawmill scraps and sustainable forestry projects can power your heating system.
The Technology
How It Works
- Wood pellets are delivered in bulk by truck.
- The wood pellet heating system loads itself and self-cleans its heating coils.
- Owners simply empty an ash container a few times a year.
- Wood pellets are available from local, sustainably harvested sources.

Things to Consider
Is automated wood heat right for me?
Every home is different. We strongly encourage you to speak with an installer to see if automated wood heat meets your needs.
Do you heat with oil, propane, or electric resistance and want to save on your energy bill?
Switching to automated wood heating could save you hundreds a year on your home heating bill.
Are you interested in buying your heat locally?
Buying locally sourced wood pellets keeps your heating dollars in New England as compared with 90 cents of every dollar leaving the state when heating with oil and gas.
Do you have space in your basement?
Though a central pellet boiler takes up the same amount of space as a normal boiler, you will need additional pellet storage space that’s accessible by a delivery truck from the road or your driveway.
Do you want the benefits of heating with wood without the hassle?
Forget splitting logs and constantly cleaning and reloading your stove! Automated wood pellet heating takes the hassle out of heating with wood while still letting you heat your home with sustainably harvested, locally sourced fuels.
Is your heating system nearing the end of its life?
If you’re heating with a 15+ year-old furnace or boiler, take advantage of this opportunity to replace it with a state-of-the-art modern wood heating system.
Are you concerned about oil price volatility?
Oil prices spike up and down while wood pellet prices have remained stable at the equivalent of $2/gallon for the past eight years.
