3 Ways to Keep Your Pellet Stove Operating During a Power Outage

Due to the increased risk of power outages during fluctuating weather patterns, it’s a good time to remind you about preparing your Pellet Stoves in Philipsburg PA for upcoming storms.

Is your stove plugged directly into the outlet or do you have a surge protector? Most modern pellet stoves have a circuit board that can be damaged without protection from even small electrical surges caused by power outages. Here are three ways to keep your pellet stove operating during a power outage:
  1. Power Inverter
    • This device converts low voltage from batteries into voltage your pellet stove can operate on
  2. Uninterruptible Power Supply
    • A UPS is an all-in-one option that contains batteries, a charger and what’s required to convert low voltage to mains voltage. These devices are typically only good for an hour or so of time. This can be used to safely shut down your pellet stove.
  3. Generator Backup
    • A generator is a common solution for reinstating a home’s power during an outage.
