Why choose a pellet stove in Maastricht?
Maastricht is the provincial capital and features many pre-war buildings, including listed properties where insulation is limited. This is important to bear in mind when making your choice, as the type of property determines the capacity you’ll need and how much storage space you’ll have for your pellets.
The rule of thumb: allow for approximately 0.08 kW per cubic metre of space to be heated, assuming standard insulation. A 40-square-metre living room with a ceiling height of 2.5 metres would therefore require around 8 kW. With good insulation, this figure can be reduced by a third. If you’re unsure, have a look at which pellet stove is suitable or request a quote.

Pellets in Maastricht
A pellet stove runs on 6 mm compressed wood pellets. If you use it daily, you can expect to use around one 15 kg bag per day in the depths of winter, or roughly one to two tonnes per heating season when used as a supplementary heat source. View the range pellets and the current prices per bag, half-pallet and full pallet.
Important for storage: a full pallet weighs around 975 kg and takes up roughly one square metre. It must be stored indoors in a dry place. If you don’t have that much space, a half-pallet is the more practical choice.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We We supply and install stoves throughout Limburg, including Maastricht and the neighbouring municipalities of Meerssen, Eijsden-Margraten, Valkenburg aan de Geul and Beek.
How much does a pellet stove cost in Maastricht?

What level of heating capacity do I need for a property in Maastricht?
Allow for approximately 0.08 kW per cubic metre with standard insulation. A living room measuring 40 square metres with a ceiling height of 2.5 metres would require around 8 kW. If in doubt, err on the side of caution: a stove that is too large will run continuously at minimum power and therefore perform less efficiently.
Do I need a chimney for a pellet stove in Maastricht?
You will need a suitable flue. This could be an existing chimney that is lined, or a new double-walled flue. An existing open-hearth chimney is almost always too wide and requires a liner of the correct diameter.
How many pellets do I use in Maastricht?
If you’re using a pellet boiler to provide supplementary heating for a living room, you’ll need 1 to 2 tonnes per heating season – that’s one to two full pallets. If you’re heating your entire home with pellets, you should allow for 2 to 4 tonnes.
