There’s an Emerging Market for Pellet Heat
• Fossil Fuel prices are unstable and are seen more and more by consumers as “part of the problem”
– Global Warming
– Taking money out of our local economies
– Reducing our national security

How does the Marketplace Respond?
• Wood Pellets and Natural Gas are the only energy sources ready to replace Oil as a convenient, clean and affordable fuel
– Air source heat pumps can’t meet the demand of the average home
– Geothermal Heat Pumps are too expensive to install
– Propane is as expensive as oil to the end user

Wood Pellet Heating Systems Suit Mainers
• Consumers are looking for low installed costs, low operating costs, and reliability. They want to feel good about their decisions.
• The kedel is a stand alone central heating system.
• Installations of the Kedel are marginally more expensive than fossil fuel boilers, typically between $1,000 and $4,000.
• Kedels make use of buildings’ existing infrastructure.
• Pellet Fuel prices are low and stable.
• The Kedel is reliable. It’s also easy to use and service.

Who is the Best Candidate to Convert to Wood Pellets?
• The best potential customer is someone with an aging oil boiler or warm air furnace.
• They know they need to invest in new equipment, but are hesitant to spend a significant amount of money on a new fossil fuel system.

What does it mean to have a web enabled controller?
• A web enabled controller allows you to keep track of your clients’ boilers.
• You will know if the boiler fails or if the pellet supply is running low.
• You can arrange deliveries around known levels of pellets in the hopper.
• You can cement a long term relationship with your client to provide fuel and service.

For the Consumer: •For an entirely automated system, the homeowner’s interactions can be as infrequent as emptying the ash bin about once a month.
•Less automated systems will require a weekly scraping of the burner plate.

The Cost Of Kedel
• The next few slides show how we estimate the installed cost for a Kedel.
• We’ve used our basic model, the Kedel 54 All in One.
• These slides are based on actual costing workbooks used by reVision heat, our Kedel Partner in Southern Maine.
• Every installation is different, but these figures provide a realistic look at what’s needed to quote and install a Kedel 54 All in One.

Built Boiler Costs
• Most installers will choose to pre-build the Kedel before it leaves the shop.
• This includes near boiler piping and pumps.
• We estimate this as a parts cost of about $200.
